Mouse's Wood
Build their resilience, piece by piece.
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.

This story follows Mouse, who first ventures out in wintry January to visit his friend Squirrel. Mouse moves on to wake up Hedgehog for the arrival of spring and as he continues along the path in the wood, Mouse’s journey from friend to friend maps out the changes in seasons from January through to December, from picnicking among the bluebells with Mole in May and picking berries with Dormouse in June, to taking refuge in Fox’s cosy caravan as winter draws in.

Never heard of oak and sprout before so wasn't sure what to expect but I'm over the moon with the board I purchased.
Colourful, good quality toy for a ridiculously good price. The wrapping was beautiful as well. Arrived within 2 days of purchasing. Couldn't be happier

Added this to our calm-down corner and it really helps my son settle when he’s overstimulated.

Lovely quality items, great for teaching and sturdy enough to stand up to boisterous toddlers!

Absolutely amazing customer service received..
Our alphabet board had a missing piece (eaten by puppy),
It's a couple of years old,
However without question they replaced the piece when i enquired if they had one and sent it free of charge

The website for Oak & Sprout specifies a "100% Moneyback Guarantee"...and apparently, they mean it. The Infinity Board was not my cup of tea, nor did it hold the interest of my kids. Still, with the guarantee, I thought I would give it a try. I ended up emailing Oak & Sprout that we didn't like the toy and they did in fact stand by their guarantee for my board, and even added on the money I spent for an extra stylus, which I did not expect. So, great customer service.
