🌳 Meet the Trees
We use five beautiful, sustainable hardwoods. Each has its own look, feel, and story — just like every young
explorer!
🐅 Tigerwood
Looks like: Golden brown with bold dark stripes – like a tiger’s back!
Grows in: Central and South America
Did you know? Some people call it “Brazilian Koa.” It’s super strong — builders even use it for
fancy decks and guitars!
🔴 Padauk
Looks like: Bright orangey-red, like a glowing sunset. Over time it turns deep red-brown.
Grows in: Africa
Did you know? Padauk is so colourful it’s been used in ceremonial masks, xylophones, and even
Olympic medals!
🦓 Zebrano (Zebrawood)
Looks like: Light tan with dark brown stripes – it really looks like zebra fur.
Grows in: West Africa
Did you know? Car companies like Mercedes used Zebrano for their luxury dashboards!
💜 Purpleheart
Looks like: Bright purple at first, then turns deep violet with age (like magic!).
Grows in: Central and South America
Did you know? It’s so tough that some people use it in floors and even boats — and it’s a
favourite for making magic wands!
🌳 Oak
Looks like: Warm brown with lovely grain lines — sometimes like rivers across a map.
Grows in: All over Europe and North America
Did you know? Oak trees can live for up to 1,000 years! In ancient times, people believed oak
trees were homes for forest spirits.
📚 Learn About Trees
Want to explore more? We've hand-picked a few of our favourite videos to help you on your journey to being a Wood
Explorer! These short videos are perfect for curious minds — kids and grown-ups alike!
🌲 Learn All About Trees
What do trees do? Where do they live? In this video, Trees for Kids, we learn all about trees and why they are
so important including: Parts of a tree, how trees produce oxygen, what do trees need to grow and many other
fun facts. We hope you enjoy!
🌳 All About Oak Trees
Come along with Ranger Zak as he teaches a lesson on oak trees, starting with an acorn. In this Ranger Zak
educational video for kids, you'll learn about nature, sing songs, and use your observation skills!
🌰 The Brave Little Acorn
Mr. Michael tells a sweet animated story about a little acorn that grows at the tippy-top of an Oak tree. As
the seasons change, the acorn begins to understand her connection to the community of plants and animals in
the forest.

To keep your toy feeling lovely, rub a little natural oil into it every few months. We include a
pot of Heidelberg oil with most toys — if you need more, you can
buy it here.
Your toy may change colour over time with love and play — we think that’s part of its story 🌱
🌳 From Our Family to Yours
We’re Jennifer & George, a husband-and-wife team based in Wiltshire. Every Oak & Sprout toy is handcrafted from
sustainably sourced hardwoods and inspired by the joy and curiosity of our young daughter.
Thank you for supporting our small family workshop. We hope your child's adventures as a Wood Explorer grow
alongside them and become cherished parts of your family's story.
Become part of the Wood Explorer Community and discover magical new toys, early-access launches, and secret woodland surprises.

Craftsmanship is flawless; only downside is that the infinity board comes in one standard size; a mini travel version would be amazing for car rides.. The board itself is sturdy and the felt wrap is a nice touch.
You can really see the grain of every hardwood—my daughter keeps asking why one piece is purple! Fits together smoothly and looks gorgeous on the shelf.
