We love toys that leave space for children to imagine. ✨

This handmade soft friend is simple, fun, and full of character — just enough story to spark wonder, and plenty of room for children to create the rest.

Come meet Fred at Root & Twig! The store is open until 2pm today!

Taco Tuesday, but make it tiny. 🌮🚚

Our Candylab Taco Truck is rolling into Root & Twig with all the charm of a neighborhood food truck and all the open-ended play we love.

It’s beautifully made, delightfully nostalgic, and ready for little hands to drive straight into pretend play — taco orders, busy streets, hungry customers, and maybe a few wooden car traffic jams along the way.

Come snag one before it drives off! 🌿

Handmade, delightfully whimsical, and ready for the kind of play children do best — storytelling, nurturing, imagining, carrying, caring, and creating whole little worlds from almost nothing.

Dapper is waiting to become part of a special child’s story. ✨

Why don't the toys at Root & Twig have batteries?
Because a child’s best play is something they can step into with their whole imagination!

At Root & Twig, we choose toys that invite children to be the makers of the play. Toys that leave the most room to wonder, build, pretend, solve, create, and begin again.
