Who are we and where did the name come from?
We are a small husband and wife family run business in Folkestone, Kent, crafting and designing our timeless wooden toys with our toddler in tow! Everything is carried out in house, from crafting to packaging and marketing with our utmost aim to create high quality toys as sustainably as we can . Each toy is carved individually from sustainable wood grown in Britain and hand painted with plant based, all natural stains resulting in unique pieces and characters.
The name “Eric and Albert” was inspired by our two late creative Grandad's who shaped our childhoods with all things artsy and crafty.
How are your toys made?
We make everything here in house. Each toy is carved individually from sustainable wood (sycamore or ash) grown in Britain and hand painted with plant based, all-natural stains resulting in unique pieces and characters.
Are they safe for children
All of our toys have been CE tested and all of our materials and our finished products comply with European toy safety standards (EN71) and carry the CE mark. All of our products are marked as suitable for over 3 years due to some of the smallest critters being below safety requirement size.
