My 3 year old niece played with Cubby for hours. We are teaching her colors and about sequence. The great thing is if they but them in their mouths they are 100% safe!
These Fair Trade 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 toys are colored using natural
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 and the tree is allowed to grow
back.
All toys are tested and found to be compliant with ASTM standards. |
