We love wood! It is a wonderful sensory material to handle, and a brilliant resource for developing simple tool skills. As well as encouraging it's use, we want to promote the importance and benefits of sourcing the wood we use from local, sustainable woodlands.
Our ethos of using & promoting UK-grown wood is so important to us that every year we dedicate a page in our catalogue to explaining why. This page is from our 2026 catalogue.

All our natural wood products are handmade in the Muddy Faces workshop from materials sourced from sustainable, managed woodlands in the UK. The management of these woodlands support local crafts people and local wildlife. Each piece of our wood is in its natural form and still has its bark on. Every piece has its own unique character with bends, knots, flaky bark, different colours and number of growth rings.
