Every single one of our personalised wooden toy boxes we make are crafted by hand, completely from scratch, to order, complete with stunning dovetail joints and decretive kick board. We are proud of the simple fact that each and every one of the children's wooden toy boxes we make is completely unique. No two will ever be the same. No matter if you choose our personalised painted toy box, made from moisture resistant MDF, or our walnut or solid oak toy boxes. You will become instantly aware of the time and effort that goes into making these wooden toy boxes the second you lay your eyes on one.
Unlike any other toy boxes on the market...
The oak used to make the toy boxes is all locally sourced and hand selected to guarantee the finest quality. The same applies to our American Black Walnut that has such a beautiful deep grain and colour. We plane, glue, cut, join, put together, sand and finish completely by hand, carefully constructing our personalised wooden toy boxes from the ground up.Â
Each wooden toy box comes fitted with high quality child safety hinges as standard. We also offer state of the art 'Hold Anywhere Hinges' on our oak and walnut toy chests as an additional upgrade. Personalised engraving is also included on the front of the toy box. However, you have the option of adding further engraving on the top or underneath the lid, perfect for special quotes or family favourite sayings, or just add a message that will add that extra personal feel to the toy box.
We are always flexible when it come to making these stunning personalised wooden toy boxes absolutely perfect for you. If you have special requirements such as a bespoke size or colour, we offer a completely bespoke service, allowing you to customise and create a toy box that is completely unique to you. We also make very elegant ottomans and now our new welly boot boxes - ideal for keeping your hallway or boot room free of wellington boots and loose shoes. If you have any questions about our personalised wooden toy boxes, then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Personalise Your Wooden Toy Boxes
It's not just the quality of the timber and workmanship that makes these wooden toy boxes special. It's the message you engrave for the young recipient that puts the icing on the cake.
The engraving options are almost limitless. For the front, why not add a name, along with images or symbols. On top of the lid, you have up to 200 characters to use. This is perfect for a quote or phrase that the recipient is familiar with.
Additionally, on the underside of the lid, you've have another 200 characters. This is the perfect place to engrave a special message, which can be cherished for many years to come.
You're not just limited to text, either. You can add other symbols such as stars, hearts, bows and butterflies to add a little extra character to your toy box.

Wooden Toy Box - Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a wooden toy box?
Our standard wooden toy boxes are designed to hold a generous amount of toys, books and games while still fitting comfortably in a bedroom, playroom or hallway. Exact dimensions vary by style; oak, walnut and painted boxes are listed with their measurements on each product page - and if you need something bigger or smaller, our bespoke service lets you specify a custom size to fit your space exactly.
Are wooden toy boxes safe for children?
Yes. Every wooden toy box we make comes fitted with child-safety hinges as standard, so the lid closes slowly and won't trap little fingers. Edges are rounded and finished smooth, and our 'Hold Anywhere Hinges' upgrade lets the lid stay safely open at any angle. All paints used are certified child-safe.
What wood is used to make your toy boxes?
We hand-select solid oak, sourced locally, and American Black Walnut for its deep grain and colour. We also offer a painted range made from moisture-resistant MDF for a smoother, coloured finish. Every box is planed, cut, joined and sanded by hand rather than mass-produced.
Can a wooden toy box be personalised?
Yes, personalised engraving is included as standard on the front of every toy box. You can add a name, symbols or images, and there's the option to add further engraving on the top of the lid (up to 200 characters) or underneath it (another 200 characters) for a private message, quote or family saying.
How long does a personalised wooden toy box take to make?
Because each toy box is hand-built to order rather than kept in stock, lead times vary depending on the current order queue and any bespoke requirements. Get in touch or check the product page for current estimated delivery times before ordering - especially around Christmas, when demand is highest.
How do I clean and care for a wooden toy box?
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry immediately - avoid soaking the wood or using harsh chemical cleaners. Oak and walnut boxes can be treated periodically with a light wood wax or oil to keep the finish looking its best; painted boxes just need a gentle wipe-down.
Do you deliver wooden toy boxes UK-wide and internationally?
Yes, we deliver across the UK and internationally. Delivery charges vary by destination and box size - see the product page or checkout for a quote specific to your order.
What age is a wooden toy box suitable for?
Our toy boxes are built to last well beyond the toddler years - many families use them from nursery age right through childhood, and they're sturdy enough to double as a seat or bench once toys are outgrown. Always supervise very young children around any lidded storage box.
What's the difference between an oak toy box and a painted toy box?
Solid oak and walnut boxes show off the natural wood grain and darken beautifully with age - a piece of furniture as much as storage. Painted boxes (built from moisture-resistant MDF) give you a wider choice of colours and a smoother, more contemporary finish. Both are handmade with the same dovetail joints and child-safety hinges.
Can I get a bespoke wooden toy box in a custom size or colour?
Yes. If our standard range doesn't quite fit your space or vision, our bespoke service lets you choose a custom size, colour and set of features so the finished toy box is completely unique to you.
