Sized to Walk Through the Door
Specifications
Three little people in solid wood: a small one in padauk, and a medium and a large one in oak. Each is cut flat-sided, chamfered for a smooth finish and no splinters, and stands up on its own.
We shaped them close to real proportions and sized them for our sorting houses, so they walk in through the front door and go through the shape holes too. Stand them on a tower of blocks and somebody lives at the top.
The padauk one is a bright orange-red that mellows to a warm burgundy over the years; the oak pair are pale and honey-toned. We make them in our workshop, sand each one smooth and hand-finish it with natural oils and waxes. No paint or dyes: the colour is the wood.
They come in a little kraft box lined with felt, wrapped, with our Wood Explorer's Guide and an Oak & Sprout care card. A set comes with every block set and every sorting house, and they are always here on their own.
- Three figures – small in padauk, medium and large in oak
- Sized for the sorting houses – through the front door and the shape holes
- Perfect with the blocks for turning a structure into a scene and extending the play
- No paint or dyes – hand-finished with natural oils and waxes
- Multiple-lifetime guarantee
Crafted by Nature, Perfected by Hand
The Story Behind Our Woods
At Oak & Sprout, we believe every toy should have a story. That’s why we choose woods that don’t just look beautiful, but have their own natural character. For example, our vibrant Purpleheart isn’t just a colour— we had to switch to diamond-tipped blades to be able to shape one of the world’s densest woods.
Naturally Colourful, Wonderfully Unique
We never use artificial dyes. Instead, we let woods like Padauk and Purpleheart reveal their own rich hues over time. Each piece is a little bit of nature’s own artwork, making every toy one-of-a-kind.
Built to Inspire and Challenge
Toys like our Shelly Slow puzzle are crafted to be engaging again and again. We design them so that each assembly is a fresh adventure, encouraging little ones to think, explore, and build resilience—all while playing.

Everyday care. Wipe with a damp cloth and let the wood dry naturally. Please don’t soak it or put it in the dishwasher.
Where to keep it. Away from radiators and direct sun. Wood moves a little as the air grows drier or damper through the year, which is quite natural.
Refreshing the finish. When the wood begins to look dry, rub in one thin coat of Osmo Wood Wax Finish Extra Thin (1101), the finish we use ourselves, and let it dry fully before play. Once dry, it is food-safe. For babies who mouth their toys, ideally wait two weeks. Or let us make it easy: our Toy Care Kit has everything you need.
Our guarantee. Every toy is covered by our Multiple Lifetime Guarantee, and caring for it yourself never affects it.
