Who, Where, What is Curioo?

Good things come in small packages, so don't be fooled by our size. Curioo (cu·ri·oo : A rare, unusual, or intriguing object) is a wooden toy company based in the heart of Coventry. Toys are a vital element of any childhood, therefore Curioo designs and builds heirloom-quality wooden toys. We invoke curiosity through educational and entertaining toys and games which are beautifully simple and timeless that will get better with generations of imaginative play and enjoyment. We are in the business of handing down childhood memories. When you give a child a toy, you give them a tool to help them make sense of their world. Some of a child’s earliest memories will be about the toys they played with. That’s why we build toys that can last generations to teach, inspire and stimulate both physical skills and help develop creative imaginations.
