About Janod

Janod is a French brand specializing in the manufacture/creation of traditional toys and games from wood and cardboard. It has stood the test of time by adapting to the needs of children discovering its toys for the first time, and the memories of their parents who have grown up with them.

Janod not only creates beautifully designed toys, but believes in promoting learning through play. Our toys are traditional in concept but “Contemporary European” in design and all our products are made with a distinct focus on craftsmanship and quality. We place a strong focus on child development - physical, social, creative, and imaginative play is integral to all our products. Young children learn by imagining and acting out what they imagine. Pretend play helps build social and emotional skills, language skills, critical thinking and problem solving, and much, much more.
