ABOUT SIMPLY CURIOUS
Simply Curious is a locally owned and operated social enterprise based in Guelph, Ontario. We are committed to cultivating the inquisitive and playful nature of children through the creation of eco-friendly toys and curated loose parts.
Collections are the hallmark of our business. Each Collection provides a perfect assortment of loose parts, curious prompts, and a quality children's book. Designed for use at home and early learning environments, we have Collections for every stage of development. We also welcome custom orders.
Our products blend together a variety of environmentally responsible materials including locally sourced wool roving, bamboo, recycled paper, and wood scraps. Wherever possible, we handmake our toys thus reducing our environmental footprint and that of our customers.

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
As Simply Curious, we strive to keep the health of our natural environment top of mind. Our products are created with a 'reduce, reuse, recycle' philosophy in mind, are handmade, and open-ended. We source our raw materials locally and wherever possible, endeavour to follow green business practices.

WASTE DIVERSION
We incorporate repurposed materials that would otherwise be sent to landfill and engage in low waste production practices.
NATURAL MATERIALS
Organic fibres, wood, and treasures from nature are always front and centre in our product offerings.


OPEN-ENDED RESOURCES
Our products and packaging can be used in endless playful ways as children grow and develop.
