All the blocks are hand printed with non-toxic, solvent and metal-free inks; sanded; and finished with a food safe oil. There are a couple of designs available in your choice of a vintage or contemporary palette. Blocks are one of those toys which every kid should own!

Here’s a modern version of an oldie but goodie! The barbell rattle is also used as a teething toy by some babies, and is made by Turner Toys in Vermont (USA). This rattle is made of all natural maple wood pieces, sanded and molded to prevent splintering and stained with a non-toxic finish. Your baby will love to grasp and shake this toy, as it makes a little noise and moves back and forth. The wood pieces are smooth and hand crafted, ensuring they won’t break or fall off. This toy will give some teeth to whenever you might say, “enough with all the plastic crap!”
