Vegetable Dyed Wooden Toys

These Fair Trade wooden toys are extraordinary. They are the handicrafts and skills of rural artisans from a village in Southern India.

The beautiful shining finish is obtained by using lac which is a natural resin and is considered one of the few naturally

available organic finishes. The wooden toys are colored using organic dyes:

Blue: Extracts from the Indigo plant

Yellow: Extracts from the Tumeric plant

Orange: Kanchi KumKum and Tumeric

Red: Kanchi KumKum and natural lime

Dark Brown: Extracts from the Ratanjyoti Tree

Light Brown: Extracts from Katha

The toys are crafted out of Hale wood and the entire tree is not felled, instead the bigger branches are cut. Keeping with our eco-friendly philosophy.

All toys are tested and found to be compliant with ASTM standards. Safe for the environment and non-toxic for our children.
