Flying Penguin Extraordinary Educational Toys is an Australian family owned business offering quality educational toys and games that engage and fascinate children. But more than this, Flying Penguin's toys are extraordinary because they impact on the environment a little less than other toys.

Both an online store and a shopfront in Sydney's colourful King Street Newtown, Flying Penguin prioritises educational value, social justice and environmental responsibility in its product range. Factors such as the materials products are made from, how they are produced, durability, whether companies manufacturing toys have their own environmental policies and/or fair trade practices and whether products support or promote understanding of the environment are all carefully considered.

At Flying Penguin, toys and games are made from FSC certified wood or wood in abundant supply (eg bamboo and post-latex producing rubber wood) or made from recycled materials. Many soft toys are certified organic. Products which are Fair Trade certified, biodegradable, battery-free and presented with minimal or recycled packaging are available, and of course everything at Flying Penguin is safe for children.

Since opening its Newtown shopfront in October 2009, Flying Penguin has won three business awards including best speciality store in Sydney's inner west.
