How do you preserve wooden toys?
Avoid storing your wood toys in harsh sunlight or in moist environments. A little sun is ok, but too much can cause fading and cracking. While wood is strong and can hold up to play, it is not indestructible. If any wooden pieces become broken, or appear cracked, they should be removed from small children immediately.

Why do people prefer wooden toys?
Wooden toys are eco-friendly. Moreover, biodegradable wooden toys are produced without any nasty chemicals and can easily be recycled at the end of their life span, unlike plastic toys, which often end up as rubbish in landfills if they break.

What makes a good wooden toy?
There are so many advantages to buying a wooden toy, from their hand-finished heirloom quality, strength and durability, to the non-toxic, water-based dyes and stains used on them which are safe for your little ones. Wood is an incredibly durable material. Good quality wooden toys can be passed down with generations.

Which wood is commonly used for toys?
Hardwood is the safest wood for baby toys. Beechwood is a common choice for toy makers because it is durable, easy to shape, fine-grained, and beautifully textured.

Can wooden toys be washed?
Wooden toys require gentle cleaning. You only need one or two drops of soap in a bowl or sinkful of water. Remember, wooden toys should never soak in water, as this can cause them to warp or become deformed.
