Today, sustainable designs in toys are among the products preferred by parents. There are many types of sustainable toys. In this direction, the effect of sustainable products on the design of wooden toys is the aim of the research. In order to achieve this aim, a descriptive analysis of the data obtained by using document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was made. Necessary evaluations were made by examining the studies and approaches related to sustainable designs in toys. In this direction, suggestions have been put forward for the studies that can be done for the dissemination of sustainability in toy design.
