Toys made in Finland

Toys made in Finland form a central part of the Museum Leikki collection. The museum collects objects manufactured by Finnish toy companies as well as information relating to their manufacture and history.

There are over 300 Finnish toys and games in the collection, even if we exclude homemade toys. Some past or current companies and producers are Aarikka, Atelier Fauni, Dollytex, Egma, Emek, Helylä, Hot Toys, Juho Jussila, Kannaksen lelu, Kuvataide, Martinex, Martta-nukketeollisuus, Niemen lelutehdas, Paletti, Peliko, Plasmet, Plastex, Plasto, Sarvis, Siro, Siroplast, Suomalainen lelupaja, Tactic Games (previously Nelostuote) and Telex.

Today, as only a few toys are made in Finland, the museum also collects toys designed in Finland and toys of Finnish brands.
