Core Values

Our thoughtfully designed collection of open-ended toys and children’s products are created with both play and everyday living in mind. Rooted in a belief that children’s items can be safe, meaningful, and beautifully made, our pieces are designed to support learning through play while complementing the home.

Inspired by Nordic design, Maison Rue products are clean, minimal, durable, and functional. Each piece is created with intention—designed to be used daily, displayed proudly, and enjoyed for years rather than moments.

Handcrafted Wooden Gem Blocks - Montessori Sensory Toy

Our Founder

Maison Rue was founded by a mother with a degree early childhood education and over a decade of experience in education and e-commerce. Her understanding of both child development and modern family life shaped the brand’s vision: to create children’s products that encourage creativity and learning without compromising safety, function, or design.

What began as a search for aesthetically pleasing, non-toxic toys became a commitment to create what felt missing—beautiful, open-ended play materials that respect children’s development and parents’ homes alike.

Children’s safety is at the heart of everything we do

Safety & Materials

All Maison Rue products are independently tested and meet or exceed CPSIA safety standards. Our toys are made without BPA, phthalates, lead, cadmium, or formaldehyde, and are tested for heavy metals and other harmful substances. We carefully select materials not only for their safety, but for their longevity and quality—because fewer, better toys matter.

We are committed to responsible production through small-batch manufacturing, durable materials, and thoughtful design choices that prioritize long-term use over disposability.

Our Philosophy

Influenced by Nordic simplicity and European safety standards, Maison Rue embraces a thoughtful approach to design, compliance, and craftsmanship. Our toys invite imagination rather than dictate play, allowing children to explore freely and return to the same pieces in new ways as they grow.

As a female-founded, small business, community, inclusivity, and collaboration are central to our values. We are always listening, learning, and looking for ways to improve—both in how we create and how we connect.
