A brand created by parents, for parents.
Founded by a mom of two and physiotherapist from Ottawa, Ontario, north&nova was born from a desire to create toys we wanted for our own children — toys that are played with and loved every day in our home.

We got it for Christmas and are supper impressed! Great quality, sturdy, and something our kids can use a LOT of different ways (climbing, rocking, imaginary play, etc ). Plus the wipeable leather is top tier.
This bouncy house has been one of the best purchases from North and Nova! My littles love to jump, snuggle and pretend it’s their hiding spot. This house inflates so easily and once deflated stores so conveniently in our family room.
We absolutely love our North and Nova climber set — it has quickly become a staple in our home and is used daily. The versatility is unmatched: climbing, sliding, crawling, fort-building, obstacle courses… it adapts so easily to every stage and mood.
It’s been incredible for gross motor development — building strength, balance, coordination, and confidence — while also sparking so much imaginative play. One day it’s a mountain to conquer, the next it’s a bridge, a ramp, or a magical hideaway.
The quality is outstanding, it feels sturdy and safe, and it grows with your child rather than being outgrown quickly. Truly one of those rare pieces that supports both physical development and creativity. Worth every bit of space it takes up — we’d buy it again in a heartbeat.
Super Rapport qualité/prix
Le tapis m'a impressionné sur son épaisseur et sa qualité à la réception. Il est toujours comme neuf après 1 mois d'utilisation. Mon 3 ans l'adore pour traverser notre salle de jeux en sautant.
Super Rapport qualité/prix
Impressionné par la qualité
Mon 3 ans les adore comme rajout au parcours qu'on fessait déjà.
Ce sont aussi de parfait petit banc pour imiter le camping autour d'un feu.
Super high quality feeling. Baby uses them to play and stack right now, but will come in handy once baby starts becoming more mobile. So glad we have them!
We love our climber set! I bought it a bit early for my 8 month old, thinking it would get more use after he turned one, but actually, we've gotten so much use already out of it! We can replicate a lot of baby's physio exercises using the different pieces from the climber set. I am so glad we got it now! It'll be used for years and years to come. They are so high quality and feel so sturdy, but soft enough that we don't need to worry about any bumps.
We are HUGE fans of North and Nova! We own the pouf chair and it is a staple in our house! The beautiful design is what caught my eye but I love how practical it is! Easy to clean, my daughter can carry it around room to room and the perfect reading chair! We can’t wait to add more pieces to our growing collection
I bought this for my daughter’s first birthday and she instantly loved it! I love the size (I am petite and can fit in easily with her) and that it can be folded down when not in use! I messaged about the brand on instagram for ball recommendations and got a quick reply with recommendations (larger balls)! I love that my LO can climb in and out easily but that it goes back to shape quickly. Would recommend this ball pit for sure!
Bought these for my daughter’s first birthday and as of yet we haven’t really used them much but I can see the potential of them! The Siena colourway is beautiful and I love they can be easily wiped down. These will be so open-ended and spark her creativity and movment as she grows!
I bought these for my 12 month old daughter’s first birthday! She loves when we stack them and she can push them down. I can’t wait to continue to see how she uses them herself! The print/colours are beautiful and love that they can be easily wiped down if needed. Would definitely recommend!
My toddler & preschooler have so much fun with these steppers. They love jumping on them, but my preschooler specifically gets super creative with them! We’ve used them as “plates” for our play kitchen and to play tea party, as beds for stuffed animals, wheels for our play couch, the list goes on and on! I also appreciate that they are aesthetically pleasing and fit in perfectly in any room in our home.
Adorable! The size of the blocks are great for little hands but will definitely grow with my little babes. She is almost 10 months. We love to stack and knock over. The colour is absolutely beautiful. Aesthetically pleasing but also girlie. I will be looking to add the beam and stepping stones !
LOVE this ballpit for my little one. She is almost 10 months and really enjoys it. I really like the SIZE of the pit. It will definitely grow with her as opposed to smaller foam ones. This can easily fit 2-3 littles in it (which we’ve done) and they had a blast. Next up with be adding a slide into it I’m sure. I also like that it could be folded up small for storage
This sensory swing is an absolute staple in our home. My daughter uses it every single day, and it has become such a safe, comforting space for her. It’s incredibly calming when she needs to regulate, but it’s also perfect for getting her sillies out. She spins super fast, uses it like a regular swing, or curls up inside like a cozy cocoon. I love how versatile it is — whether she needs movement, comfort, or play, this swing does it all. Truly one of the best additions to our home.
