Jaclyn and Matisse

Jaclyn & Matisse are a family owned business inspired by the innocence and love of play of their kids each and every day. Influenced by Scandinavian design, whilst noticing a saturation of loud and bright toys on the market, they sought to feature a soft, minimalist design in their products - from materials, through to design concept and packaging. They wanted to get back to basics and utilise quality raw materials to create a gender neutral range of wooden toys, teethers and musical instruments for little ones. The interactive nature of our toys is aimed at encouraging the boundless imagination of our bubs, along with developing social, musical and motor skills.

Which Jaclyn & Matisse toy is best for a baby?
For the very young, start with the Georgie the Giraffe wooden teether or the egg shakers, which are easy for small hands to grip. The harmonica and flute suit older children who can blow a note. Check each listing for age guidance.

What are Jaclyn & Matisse toys made from?
Mostly natural timber. The maracas and egg shakers are pine, Carter the Car and the Georgie teether are beech wood, the xylophone has aluminium notes, the harmonica is aluminium with its own case, and the triangle is steel.

How do I clean wooden toys?
Wipe with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then dry straight away. Never soak wooden toys or put them in the dishwasher, as water can swell the timber and lift the finish.

Do Jaclyn & Matisse toys make a good baby shower gift?
Yes. They are gender neutral, look lovely left out on a shelf and last well beyond the first year. A teether and a pair of egg shakers make a good starter set that grows into a small band of instruments.
