FLEXA: Move, Create, Imagine, Explore
FLEXA is more than just a toy brand. It’s a world of wonder and imagination, where children can move, create, and explore to their heart’s content.
Founded in Denmark in 1972, FLEXA has been creating toys that inspire and engage for over 50 years. Each toy is meticulously crafted with FSC and PEFC certified wood and finished with eco-friendly varnishes, free from solvents and toxic colourants, ensuring our kiddos can play safely and sustainably.
What sets FLEXA toys apart is their focus on open-ended play. Each toy is designed to encourage creativity and imagination, rather than dictating how a child should play with it. This allows children to explore their own interests and develop their own unique play patterns.

FLEXA Musical Instruments
One of the most important benefits of musical instruments for children is that they can help to develop early language skills. Learning to play a musical instrument requires children to develop their timing, tempo, and rhythmic accuracy. These are all important skills for language development, as they help children learn how to break down words into syllables and sounds.
Music is a gift that we can give our children from a very young age. It’s a fun and engaging way for them to learn, grow, and express themselves.
- Age range: 18 months – 2+
- Instruments: Wooden drum, maracas set, xylophone, flute and clapper set
