Our learning toys could very well be made with plastic. But the money we will be saving you and ourselves to do this will come back to haunt us in the future. Plastic does not biodegrade; it can only photodegrade, and that alone can take hundreds of years. This is just one of the reasons why we choose natural materials for our toys. We source from sustainable forests or use repurposed wood. Our wood toys celebrate our earth and each set is unique, beautiful, and durable.
