Our wooden toys are made from carefully selected natural materials, including birch, limewood, or solid beechwood, depending on the product (please refer to each product description for specific details). Finished with non-toxic, water-based stains, each piece celebrates the natural grain and texture of real wood.

Because we avoid heavy lacquers and plastic coatings, the surface may feel slightly textured or “raw” compared to mass-produced toys. This is intentional—and part of the charm and character of working with real, natural materials. Designed to be durable, open-ended, and long-lasting, our wooden toys are made to be enjoyed for years and passed along as children grow.

To keep your wooden toys looking their best, gently wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid soaking, washing, or using harsh cleaners. Do not submerge in water or place in the dishwasher. Allow to air dry completely before storing or playing.

Because our toys are made from natural wood and finished with non-toxic, water-based stains, subtle variations in texture and grain are part of their character.
