Cubby – Wooden Stacking Toy Bear
Meet Cubby, a charming wooden stacking toy bear featuring five brightly coloured rings that help children develop essential early learning skills. As little ones stack and sort the rings, they refine their hand-eye coordination, explore size and proportion, and begin learning basic colours and counting from 1 to 5. Cubby brings simple, wholesome fun to playtime whilst nurturing developmental milestones. A timeless toy that grows with your child.
Traditional Craftsmanship & Natural Materials
Handcrafted using traditional lacware toy-making techniques passed down through generations, Cubby is coloured with natural plant-based dyes including madder roots, turmeric, indigo, etc. These dyes are mixed with food-grade lac resin, applied using heat friction, and buffed with pine leaves to create a beautiful, smooth shine. Made from sustainably sourced wood, every piece is unique.
Safe & Certified
CE certified and rigorously tested for safety standards, this wooden learning toy is completely plastic-free and chemical-free. A safe, timeless choice for children aged 1 and above.

Ethiqana is starting an artisanal revival in the world of children’s toys and other homewares and accessories.
This social enterprise works with small artisan producers, known as Ethiqana’s Artisan Heroes, carefully selected based on the eco-friendliness of their methods and the need for creative and economic empowerment.
These include the famous toymakers of Channapatna, India, who create colourful, tactile and durable wooden toys following fair trade values. These toys are 100% natural, handmade from sustainably grown wood and coloured with natural non-toxic dyes from plant-based sources.
A huge part of Ethiqana’s mission is to preserve traditional, nearly-extinct art and craft techniques. Many of the toys are made using methods passed down through generations of artisans over the course of 200 years.
By preserving these traditional techniques, Ethiqana challenges modern manufacturing methods and provides sustainable livelihoods to the artisans.
They also strive to give their Artisan Heroes opportunities to travel and connect with a worldwide audience. This helps makers evolve their art and practices, which is key to preserving them for the future.
