Parent and Baby Awards 2025 Best Wooden & Traditional Toy Retailer 2025 – APAC Toys play a crucial role in a child’s development, sparking their imagination and laying the fundamental foundation for their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. Many parents around the world, however, do not pause to consider the quality of the toys they give their children – how they are made, what values they reflect, or whether they are built to last beyond a single season of play. Blossom Tree Toys is an Australian retailer seeking to reframe how families think about play, offering thoughtfully crafted, heirloom-quality toys that prioritise sustainability, durability, and meaningful connection. We took a closer look at Blossom Tree Toys below, as it is named in the Parent and Baby Awards 2025. Based in Mount Hawthorn, Perth, Western Australia, Blossom Tree Toys is an awardwinning retailer of toys, puzzles, and games inspired by old-fashioned fun. The business was founded by Debbie Pollard, a forwardthinking individual whose passion for all things wood was first ignited in childhood. Growing up in England, Debbie grew an appreciation for wood and traditional toys from an early age and as a result, a love that would go on to shape the course of her life. In 2005, Debbie and her husband moved to Australia, and were blessed with a baby in 2013. With a newborn, Debbie quickly realised that the quality of toys that she remembered from her childhood were no longer so easily available. and she set out to find what she calls the “memory makers” – the well-made toys that are designed to last a lifetime, and can be passed down and loved by future generations. This search resulted in the birth of Blossom Tree Toys, a business built by Debbie with the aim of offering classic toys, puzzles, and games that provide endless hours of fun and entertainment, and a lifetime of memories. Now, Blossom Tree Toys is on a mission to source beautiful traditional toys and meet the needs of the youngest through to the oldest members of its community. The business has been built around a philosophy to identify and stock environmentally friendly and sustainable product options that are made using sustainable forestry, organic, or recycled materials and ethical manufacturing practices. Blossom Tree Toys upholds this commitment beyond its product range, by also ensuring sustainable practices are used throughout its operations. Blossom Tree Toys offers an extensive range of traditional “old-school” style toys, made to last a child’s lifetime and bring back nostalgic memories for parents, as well as early learning toys designed to facilitate a child’s development. From wooden toys and building blocks to crafts and science kits to an extensive collection of books and cozy baby comforters, this retailer caters to a wide variety of ages, interests, and developmental stages. From the whimsical plush creations of Jellycat, and traditional favourites from Kaloo and Steiff to the artisan made dolls by Llorens, and the heirloom-quality wooden playthings from Janod, each brand reflects a commitment to meaningful play. Its shelves also feature Brio’s classic train sets, Baghera’s retro ride-ons, HABA and Hess-Speilzeug’s ecoconscious educational toys, Sozo’s recycledmaterial craft kits, and Orchard Toys’ engaging learning games. Together, these names form a collection that resists disposable trends, inviting families to choose toys that are built to last and designed to matter.
