Established in 2004, Peanut Gallery is an Australian online toy shop run by a family with young children. We found that as our children started to crawl and walk, it was very difficult to go shopping for any length of time.

While we could manage to go to large, indoor shopping centres (just!), we found these places did not offer the sort of high quality wooden toys, traditional toys and educational toys we wanted to buy for our children. We know these toys are around, but often you need to spend time driving to specialty outdoor strip shopping centres which are not always convenient to bring babies and young children to.

We also did our share of “window shopping” online but were again disappointed with the range of toys available specifically for children under 8 years old. We did manage to buy a couple of things but ended up ordering them from the U.S.

Our frustrations led us to develop Peanut Gallery.

Our aim is to provide a broad selection of traditional toys, wooden toys, educational toys and other beautiful toys for children aged birth to 8 that will be cherished by children and their parents alike.

At a time when children are increasingly reliant on electronic devices and media for entertainment, we believe providing children with the right age-appropriate toys, will foster their creativity, encourage use of their imaginations and build confidence in their own abilities.

We are constantly reviewing the products we offer and building our product range by carefully selecting wooden, educational and other beautiful children's toys we feel offer you a real alternative to the mainstream products you can find at your local shopping centre. Our children have also had a great time helping us to select the toys they really love!

Thank you for shopping at Peanut Gallery and we hope you and your “little peanuts” enjoy our beautiful children's toys.
