DIY Toddler Toys
Not every toy needs to be fully built; that’s where the fun begins. Our collection of diy toddler toys lets your little one be part of the process, whether it’s building a busy board, painting their own toy, or stacking their latest creation. These toys invite kids to explore with their hands, test their ideas, and enjoy playtime that’s anything but passive.
From sensory crafts to wooden construction sets, each toy in this range is designed to help toddlers develop real skills while having a good time. It’s a great way to support creativity, problem-solving, and motor development without ever feeling like work.

DIY Toy Categories Toddlers Love
Here’s a closer look at what makes these toy types such a hit at home. Each one encourages creativity, focus and fun in their own way.
Busy Board Kits
A playful way to create your own version of our popular busy boards. These kits include the base board and a variety of elements like latches, gears and switches so you can customise it to your child’s interests.
Building and Stacking Toys
These classic toys are always a favourite. With blocks, construction sets and shape sorters, toddlers can build, balance and explore freely. You’ll find even more variety in our full construction toys collection.
Craft and Art Kits
Perfect for rainy days or quiet afternoons, our craft kits give toddlers a chance to paint, stick and decorate in their own way. It’s a gentle introduction to art that helps develop coordination and self-expression. These also pair well with our Play and learn sets.
STEM-Inspired Play Kits
These hands-on kits help toddlers start thinking like little problem-solvers. Each set introduces simple mechanics and logical play, similar to our toddler Montessori toys, without being too structured or advanced.
