Our business began as the personal passion of our founder, John Daniels. For many years he helped small family owned handicraft manufacturers in rural Sri Lanka bring their products to market.
The same commitment to high-quality, ethically sourced, safe and creative products remains at the heart of our business two decades later. This means we're:
-
Committed to sourcing the world’s best eco-friendly products for our approved stockists.
-
Focused on delivering world-class customer service with a boutique flair; a focus that saw us awarded Toy Supplier of the Year in 2016 and twice voted one of Australia's Hot 100 wholesalers in 2023 and 2024.
-
Passionate about finding and promoting toys that truly spark the imagination. This includes toys voted Toy of the Year in 2016, 2017, 2020 and 2021.
-
Dedicated to supporting entreprenurial Australian companies like Kidstart and The Freckled Frog.
Your decision to buy our toys will have a positive impact - all the way back to a toy’s community of origin both here in Australia and overseas. Buy from us safe in the knowledge that you’re contributing to a greener, brighter future for our planet and its people.
To all of you, from all of us at Artiwood Australia, thank you for supporting our vision for a more planet and people friendly world.

We make learning fun
Children really are the future. We want them to succeed in ways we can only dream of today. Artiwood plays its part by sourcing and supplying toys that create a foundation for a life-long journey of learning.
Psychologists distinguish between two kinds of learning motivation: extrinsic and intrinsic.
- Extrinsic motivation occurs when positive rewards are used to increase the frequency of positive learning behaviour. Praise, awards, money and food can be used to encourage this response.
- Intrinsic motivation occurs when a child actively participates in learning activities without a need for rewards. A child who enjoys showing you toy or puzzles they've solved is intrinsically motivated.
Our products stimulate intrinsic motivation. They use objects, shapes and colours to spark a child's passion for learning. Motivated learners are easy to recognize. They're focused on problem solving and mastering new skills. They're willing to persist until they succeed.

Made by hand. Made with care.
Artiwood's toys are made by hand. You'll never find an assembly line of plastic extrusion moulds in our factories. It's the human touch that enhances the quality of our toys - often in ways you'd never imagine.

We are People & Planet Friendly
Modern manufacturing has made sustainable, eco-friendly products increasingly difficult to find. The world seems full of plastic toys. The team at Artiwood Australia believes there's room for more eco-friendly alternatives. We search the world for safe and reliable toys that reflect our philosophy at an affordable price.
Learn more about our eco-friendly philosophy here; and our approach to sourcing safe products here.
