Tidlo is a classic collection of quality wooden toys. Originally created by John Crane, the Tidlo brand was acquired by Bigjigs Toys in 2018. Artiwood now distributes the popular Tidlo construction series, play furniture and doll's house. This robust range of traditional toys features all manner of objects children encounter in everyday life. This includes microwaves, bulldozers, cranes and trucks. We'll be adding new toys from Tidlo throughout the year. Watch this space.

Bigjigs work closely with a number of production facilities in the Far East. These are regularly visited by Liz Ireland, its Managing Director. She takes great care to ensure that the facilities are operating ethically while delivering world-class quality at an affordable price. Every toy is tested and certified to EN71 and ASTM standards; while an increasing number of toys are also tested to Australia's AS/NZS 8124 Series of Standards.

When choosing timber for its toys Bigjigs carefully assesses its quality, durability and sustainability. For example, many of its toys are made from plantation-grown rubberwood that would otherwise go to waste. This philosophy extends to its packaging. Currently more than 80% of the Bigjigs range, including Tidlo, is presented in packaging made from 90% recycled materials that's printed using soy ink. It even runs its entire head office and European distribution warehouse on solar energy.
