Child building a large construction with the Just Blocks BASIC Medium wooden learning system

ABOUT LEONITO

A clear idea born from our everyday family life.

We are Julia and Robert, parents of Leon and Alita. Together, we run Leonito from Stein AG in the Fricktal region.

We want products that give children space to be active themselves: to build, move, try things out, find solutions and stay with an idea.

That is why Leonito offers a deliberately small selection of high-quality wooden learning and movement products. Every product is carefully selected and made exclusively in the EU or Switzerland.

We ship your order directly from Switzerland.

Why we founded Leonito

Digital media are part of everyday family life today. That is true for us too. At the same time, it matters to us that there is still enough room for children’s own ideas, movement and focused discovery.

For us, good products should do more than keep children occupied for a moment. They should invite children to take action themselves, try things out and find their own solutions.

When looking for products for our own children, we found it difficult to find options that combine versatile use, calm design and transparent origin.

Leonito grew out of that wish. Our principle is still the same today: meaningful rather than more.

What a product must offer to fit Leonito

Would we choose it for our own children?

This question is where every product selection starts for us.
Does it encourage the child to be active?

The product should invite children to build, move, think or experiment. It should not prescribe everything in advance.
Does it offer different possibilities?

It should leave room for new ideas and not become uninteresting after a short time.
Is it designed for long-term use?

Materials, workmanship and function must be convincing enough for a product to remain useful over a longer period.
Is it made in the EU or Switzerland?

This origin rule applies without exception to the entire Leonito range. You can learn more about our selection, the manufacturers’ information and the documents available to us on the “Quality, Safety & Origin” page.

A name rooted in our family story

Leonito combines the names of our two children, Leon and Alita. Our first idea was «Leonita». Because that name was already taken, it became «Leonito». In the end, it suited us even better.

To us, Leonito sounds like a small, lovable lion. The name reminds us of our son Leon and our daughter Alita, who was born under the sign of Leo. Above all, it reminds us every day why we founded Leonito and of the standards by which we select our products.

This is us, lovingly illustrated. The illustration is inspired by our actual appearance. It lets us show you the family behind Leonito without publishing real photos of our children online. Protecting their privacy comes first for us.
