Materials

Care and Cleaning

Keep it natural

You want to use a gentle cleanser on wooden toys. Anything from a simple vinegar and water solution (1 part vinegar to 10 parts water), a mild, environmentally friendly dish soap, and some warm water, or your favorite non-toxic multi-purpose cleaner, diluted with water, will work well. You don’t want to use bleach or harsh chemicals as it can dry-out the wood.

Be careful when cleaning any dyed toys as some excess dye may come off onto the cloth. It will not affect the toy but toys that are dyed are not designed to be submerged in water.

No soaking

You never want to soak wooden toys, as wood is very porous. The shape of the toy can change and warp with too much moisture and if the toy doesn’t dry completely, more germs and bacterial will want to hang out. If the wood swells, it can cause the wood to crack or damage any dye or finish on the surface of the toy. Using a wet washcloth to clean will keep the wood from getting too drenched.

Easy as 1, 2, 3

Cleaning wood toys can happen in three easy steps. Spray the toys with a gently cleaner of choice, gently wipe down with a sponge or washcloth and a bit of warm water, then allow the toys to air dry. Putting them in the sun will help kill even more germs and speed up the drying process.

Treating stains

Vinegar does the trick again! Create a more concentrated mixture of vinegar and water. You can use a 1:1 ratio for stains. Spray the stain and scrub it with a sponge. Putting it in the sun to dry will also help “bleach” out the stain. If it’s a really tough stain, you can use a little sand-paper to buff it out. This is not recommended for dyed timber products. You will need to re-coat your wooden products with a natural oil protective rub after cleaning with vinegar.

Replenish the moisture

Every once and a while you will want to moisturise wooden toys, just as you would your cutting boards, butcher blocks, or wooden utensils. We use a beeswax balm made from natural beeswax and coconut oil and its a great non-toxic option. You only need a washcloth or rag for easy application.

Each product in our shop is unique

-Why-

100% HANDMADE

Because, the materials have each been hand selected, collected, or cut. Each design is created by my over active creative mind, then it’s my hands that draw, cut, slice, sand, paint and finish each piece. 

UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT

No two pieces are ever the same, each unique in their own natural way. Each piece will have its own special wood grain, colours and characteristics. It may look slightly different from the picture shown but that's what makes it special to you. 

MADE FROM NATURAL MATERIALS

I love the raw beauty of nature, and that’s where I draw my inspiration from. It’s where I source my materials. It’s where I collect nature’s treasures and is often where I am when a new idea pops up! Nature is perfectly imperfect, and so are my products... so am I!

SUSTAINABLY MINDED AND OPEN ENDED

I believe children’s connection to nature will engage their desire for a sustainable future. I want my children to see the beauty in the natural world, and not in the shiny plastic throw away convenience focused society... I believe open ended, nature based toys and resources that inspire is one way I can help. 

LIMITED QUANTITY AND DURABILITY

I will never be a mass toy producer. As to do that means my hands and personal touch can’t be involved in each product produced. The beauty in that, is there won’t be hundreds on my pieces out there... but they will be passed down between children and when it’s their time, they will naturally break down and leave no mark on our earth. 🌍
