Wooden Montessori toys for babies and toddlers
The lineup
Nine wooden toys for ages 1 to 4. Tap any toy to check the current price.
Each number lifts out and drops back into its own outline, so counting turns into a hands-on game. The plus, minus and equals pieces let older toddlers lay out their first simple sums. The board is made from FSC-certified wood with a smooth, non-toxic painted finish.

Little hands push the beads along the wire tracks, spin the gears and slide the abacus beads to count. The painted beads have a smooth surface with no sharp edges. At about 8.5 × 8 × 6 inches it sits steady on a play table or the floor.

Made for children from 12 months who are taking their first steps: every pull makes the crocodile beat the drum, which keeps them walking. It is solid natural wood with water-based paint, rounded edges and a short pull rope. Size: 7.5 × 5.5 × 5.7 inches.

Toddlers match each coloured disc to its hole by size, which builds colour sorting, size comparison and hand-eye coordination. The thickened wood and big knobs suit small hands from age 1 to 3. Adult supervision is advised under 18 months because of the small pieces.

Babies bat the drum and watch the colour panels turn, a simple cause-and-effect game that also works well at tummy time. It suits children from 12 months and measures about 7 × 4.9 × 6 inches. All wood, with a stable base that keeps the drum in place.

Play it as a colour and shape sorter, then switch to fishing: the magnet on the rod picks up each shape. Recommended for ages 1 to 4. Made from natural wood with no MDF and finished in non-toxic paint.

Each shape has its name printed in the slot, so a toddler learns shapes and colours while matching them. The 11.8 × 8.9 inch board is made of basswood and birch and suits children from 12 months. Knobs make every piece easy to pinch and lift.

Large pieces with chunky knobs are made for babies who are just learning to grasp and place. Shapes come in different sizes, so the puzzle teaches shape and size sorting together. The compact board is about 8.3 × 7 inches.

Children find a letter, say its name and press it back into place — ABC practice they can do by themselves. The stand-alone letters can also be laid out to spell first words. Natural wood with a smooth, non-toxic painted finish, for ages 2 and up.

Small children lose interest fast. Boby toys are built around the things that keep them coming back.
The problem
Puzzle pieces are too small to grab, so toddlers give up
Our fix
Big knobs and chunky pieces that a one-year-old can pinch, lift and place.
The problem
Pieces end up scattered all over the floor
Our fix
Every letter, number and shape has its own outlined spot, so tidy-up is part of the game.
The problem
Worry about what is in the paint
Our fix
Natural wood, non-toxic water-based paint and rounded, sanded edges.
The problem
Loud plastic toys that need new batteries
Our fix
Quiet wooden toys that work by hand — the crocodile drums as it rolls, no batteries at all.
Who we are
Boby makes wooden toys for the first years of a child's life — the stage when a baby learns to grasp, crawl, walk and name the world around them. The brand's tagline says it simply: for your baby.
The range follows Montessori ideas: one clear task per toy, real materials and things a child can do with their own hands. There are alphabet and number puzzles, knob peg puzzles for shapes, sizes and colours, a bead maze, a spinning drum, a sorting and fishing game and a crocodile pull toy.
Every toy is made of natural wood and finished in non-toxic, water-based paint, with smooth, rounded edges. Nothing needs batteries — the fun comes from a child's own movement, which is exactly the point.
Buyer guide
Pick the stage your child is at right now.
Toys that reward movement: a drum that spins at a push and a crocodile that drums as it rolls behind a new walker.
Big knobs, few pieces and simple shapes for babies who are learning to pinch, lift and match.
ABC and 1–20 puzzles for naming and counting, plus a sorting game and a bead maze for colours and focus.
Our purpose
Our mission at Boby is to give babies and toddlers toys they can truly figure out on their own — a letter that fits one slot, a bead that slides one way, a drum that turns at one push.
We keep the materials simple and honest: natural wood, water-based paint and smooth edges, so parents can hand a toy over without a second thought.
And we keep the play quiet and screen-free. When a child finishes a puzzle or takes ten steps with the crocodile in tow, the reward is their own — and that is what makes them come back for more.
Wooden toys with one clear task and a reward that comes from their own hands.
View the CollectionThe difference
What makes a simple wooden toy worth keeping on the shelf.
Every toy is painted with non-toxic, water-based paint — important for little ones who still test everything with their mouth.
Large knobs and chunky letters are sized for small fingers, so a toddler can succeed without help.
Letters, numbers 1–20, shapes, sizes and colours — each toy teaches one clear thing through play.
Pieces are sanded smooth with rounded corners, and the pull toy uses a short rope to reduce tangling.
The crocodile drums as it is pulled and the drum spins at a push. Nothing to charge, nothing to replace.
From a spinning drum at 12 months to the alphabet puzzle at age 2, the range follows your child step by step.
Why us

Bright, timeless toys that work for birthdays, holidays and baby showers.
Puzzles, a bead maze, a drum, a sorting game and a pull toy — one brand from crawling to counting.

In their words
Common themes we hear from parents.
Parents like that the letters, numbers and shapes are vivid enough to hold a toddler's attention.
The boards and pieces feel solid and stand up to everyday drops and throws.
Letters and shapes slot cleanly into their spots, so small children are not left frustrated.
The puzzles and the pull toy are a popular choice for first and second birthdays.
Children start naming letters, numbers and colours as they play with the boards again and again.
Battery-free wooden toys are a welcome change from noisy plastic ones.
Good to know
The jumbo knob puzzle and the 12-shape peg puzzle are made for children from 12 months, and the shape & size puzzle for ages 1 to 3. The alphabet puzzle is a better fit from age 2. Start with fewer, bigger pieces and add the harder boards later.
Yes. Many little ones ignore puzzles for a while and come back to them weeks later. Leave one board within reach, play with it yourself, and let your child join in rather than asking them to finish it. Large knobs and only a few pieces make the first wins easier.
Boby toys are made from natural wood — the 12-shape puzzle uses basswood and birch, and the number puzzle uses FSC-certified wood. They are finished with non-toxic, water-based paint and sanded with rounded edges. The brand states its toys are tested to the US ASTM toy-safety standard.
For first steps, the crocodile pull toy taps its drum as it rolls behind your child. For floor play, the spinning drum turns at a light push. For the first fine-motor practice, the jumbo knob puzzle has big, easy-to-grip pieces.
Some puzzles have small pieces, so adult supervision is advised for children under 18 months. Check the age on each product before you buy, and keep loose pieces away from babies who still put things in their mouth.
No. Every toy in the range works by hand: the crocodile drums as it is pulled, the beads slide along the wires, and the drum spins when it is pushed.
Wooden toys for birthdays, holidays and baby showers — no batteries needed.
