About Us – Fig & Found

Crafted by Nature, Found by Curious Minds

Welcome to Fig & Found, where curiosity is celebrated, imagination is encouraged, and learning is woven into every moment of play.
We believe toys aren’t just things children keep on a shelf — they are tools for growth, sparks for creativity, and companions in countless adventures.

At Fig & Found, our mission is simple:
To bring parents and children beautifully crafted, thoughtfully designed toys that inspire curiosity, foster independence, and create moments of wonder — while keeping learning at the heart of play.

Our Story

Like many great ideas, Fig & Found began with a spark of curiosity.
We were parents, educators, and dreamers who wanted more than just “plastic playthings” for our children. We wanted toys that could grow with them — toys that didn’t just entertain, but nurtured imagination, independence, and skills for life.

On our journey, we discovered a world of Montessori-inspired learning tools, sensory play experiences, and beautifully made role-play sets that felt timeless, natural, and meaningful. We realised these weren’t just toys — they were foundations for learning, self-discovery, and joyful exploration.

And so, Fig & Found was born:
A store dedicated to sourcing high-quality, eco-conscious, and developmentally rich toys from trusted makers — so that every child can explore, imagine, and grow.

Why We Believe in Montessori & Sensory Learning

Both Montessori and sensory-based play respect the child’s natural curiosity and desire to learn. Montessori toys are designed to be beautiful, functional, and purposeful — encouraging independence, focus, and problem-solving. Sensory play, meanwhile, provides experiences that help children make sense of the world through hands-on exploration.

Together, these methods don’t just prepare children for school — they prepare them for life. They encourage resilience, creativity, and a love of learning that lasts far beyond the toy box.

Our Commitment to Safety & Sustainability

We know that as parents, your child’s safety is your number one priority — and it’s ours too. Every toy we stock meets or exceeds international safety standards.

Beyond safety, we’re committed to sustainability. That means choosing toys made from responsibly sourced wood, non-toxic paints, and eco-friendly packaging whenever possible. We want the joy our toys bring to last for years, without costing the Earth.
