About
Playing is not only a leisure activity, as it may be seen from an adult perspective. Playing is an important part of a child’s natural learning and development process. When playing, the child shapes her own emotional, social and cognitive identity. Playing is not only a mean of expression, it is also an exceedingly significant tool to instigate imagination and creativity.
” elou is an innovative alternative that intends to restore the spontaneity immanent to the educational process of playing “

what is cork?
Cork is a buoyant, light brown, natural substance, obtained from the outer layer of the cork oak.
It is the main component of elou toys. 100% natural. 100% Portuguese.
A hypoallergenic material, compatible with all stages of child development, whose main attributes lie in its soft texture, lightness and shock resistance and absorption properties.
As a raw material, it is already widely used in economic sectors with increasingly recognized added value, such as construction, aeronautics and spatial development. So, why not bring it to toy wonderland?
design & development
Elou toys development is sustained in Portuguese knowledge and expertise on handling cork as a raw material. Elou toys are developed in partnership with some of the most well regarded national higher education institutions, to conceive a differentiated product that complies with the highest quality and safety standards.

Elou belongs to a cork-related industrial network, thus benefiting from the diverse knowledge and experience of its partners while ensuring that their technical skills mirror the uniqueness we want to transpose into our products.
