customer care Our products are real timber and provided they are well looked after; will last for years to come. Wooden toys are not suitable for water play as the product will absorb the water and cracks and splits may appear as it dries. To care for your products, or remove marks made from little hands, a quick wipe over with a damp cloth and natural cleaner (ie; vinegar) should bring back the wood to its natural beauty. If you have any other questions regarding your product or the care of our toys, please email us at hello.onceatree@gmail.com

our story I'm Matilda, one side of Once a Tree (computer stuff, research, product development, packing, sending and mum to the cutest toy testers in tow n) and my dad Scott who handcrafts everything in our shop inventory. Every bit of material collected, perfectly cut, sanded, routed and finished is all done by him. He has single-handedly helped to turn my ideas/sketches (sometimes far-fetched) into reality. Once a Tree began in the same space it exists today, our shed in the Yarra Valley. What began as an outlet for our creativity ; creating handmade wooden toys for my little boy, quickly became something we found so many others were interested in and longing for - toys that weren't light up, plastic or flashy. We care about quality, sustainability and on top of everything PLAY! Each product is handcrafted using recycled and salvaged materials; thoroughly and carefully designed, cut, sanded and finished, right here by us. Once a Tree is our small dream to create products for kids that are fun and last long enough to be passed from family to family or hopefully down generations. - A toy that is simple will spark creativity in any child -
