You probably already know from our home tours and previous round-ups that I have a soft spot for rattan and wicker. But have you explored the charming world of rattan kids’ toys? If not, this guide will introduce you to beautiful, timeless pieces perfect for playrooms, nurseries, and display.
Rattan toys often come from small businesses and artisans, and many are produced in limited batches. Below I’ve gathered favorites I’d love to add to our home. Read the notes on availability and pricing—many items sell out quickly or are listed in international currencies—so checking shop details before you buy will save surprises.
Why Choose Rattan Toys?
Rattan is a natural, renewable material that tends to be more sustainable than many mass-produced plastic toys. It’s sturdy, ages gracefully, and often becomes more characterful over time. Many rattan toys are handmade, which supports artisans and results in unique variations from piece to piece.
Because of their craftsmanship and durability, rattan toys can become heirloom items. They’re decorative, tactile, and designed to withstand years of play—qualities that make them a lovely investment if you’re aiming for a curated, long-lasting toy collection.
Availability and Small-Batch Notes
Many rattan toys are made in small batches and sell out quickly. If an item is out of stock, sign up for restock notifications or follow the maker on social media to be alerted when it returns. Also check shipping details carefully: some pieces are large or shipped internationally, which can affect delivery times and costs.
Pricing Tips
Pay attention to the currency shown on each shop’s website. Some of the pieces featured below are listed in Australian or other international currencies, which can make prices appear higher until they are converted to your local currency. Check exchange rates and any import fees before purchasing.
Now, here are some of my top rattan picks—beautiful, playful, and full of charm.
