Kraanaautod

Kraanaautod is a Finnish company specializing in the production of high-quality, handcrafted wooden toys and play equipment. Founded in 1989 in the town of Kraanaa, located in the region of Satakunta, the company has built a reputation for combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design principles. The name "Kraanaautod" is derived from the Finnish word for "wooden toys" (*kraana* meaning "wood" and *autod* meaning "toys").

The company’s products primarily include wooden rocking horses, swings, and other outdoor play structures, often featuring natural finishes and minimalistic designs. Kraanaautod emphasizes sustainability by sourcing wood from responsibly managed forests and using non-toxic, eco-friendly materials in its manufacturing process. Each piece is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring durability and safety for children.

Kraanaautod operates with a small-scale, family-run approach, maintaining a workshop where most production takes place. This hands-on method allows the company to offer customization options, such as personalized engravings or unique color schemes. The brand has gained a loyal following both in Finland and internationally, appealing to parents and educators who prioritize natural, long-lasting playthings.

Beyond its core products, Kraanaautod occasionally collaborates with designers and artists to create limited-edition collections. The company also participates in trade shows and exhibitions to showcase its work and promote sustainable play environments. While primarily focused on wooden toys, Kraanaautod’s commitment to craftsmanship and environmental responsibility extends its influence in the broader market of eco-conscious children’s products.
