Soft toys for kids: Why we love Oskar and Ellen

Stocked by world famous stores like Liberty London, Oskar and Ellen soft toys at petit bazaar in Hong Kong inspire our kids to play the way they should: with creativity, imagination and of course safely! What’s so special about these gorgeous toys?

The brainchild of Oskar and Ellen’s mum, Petra, she thought of the idea for soft creative quiet toys whilst on an airplane ride, looking for ways to keep the kids entertained that wouldn’t annoy other passengers. (We’ve all been there!)

All the products are hand made in the Philippines in an ethical community project, so each one is unique.

Most of the products are aimed at kids over 3, but there are a few items for younger children. We love the attention to detail, the soft padded fabrics and the fact that each of these toys is giving back to the community.
