Ooly at Acorn & Pip
What is Ooly?
Ooly is an American stationery and art brand designed to make creativity irresistible for children. Known for their bold, colourful products — from scented markers and glitter pens to sketchbooks and activity sets — Ooly takes a simple idea seriously: if the tools are beautiful and fun, children will want to use them. Their products are non-toxic, vibrant, and endlessly giftable.
What age are Ooly products suitable for?
Ooly products cover a wide age range, with something for children from around age 3 upwards. Younger children love their chunky crayons, washable paints, and sticker sets. Older children and tweens are drawn to their gel pens, fine liners, brush markers, and journals. Many products are also popular with adults — a testament to how well they're made.
Are Ooly art supplies non-toxic and safe for children?
Yes — all Ooly products are AP-certified non-toxic, meaning they meet the highest safety standards for children's art materials. They're also generally washable, which parents appreciate. That said, always check the individual product recommendation for the youngest children, as some sets include small components.
What makes Ooly a good gift?
Ooly products are some of the most giftable items we stock — the packaging is bright and exciting, the price points are accessible, and children genuinely love receiving them. A set of Ooly scented markers or a holographic journal feels special without being expensive. They're ideal for birthday gifts, stocking fillers, and rewards for children who love to create.
