Where are your toys made?Our toys are manufactured in the Zhejiang province of China, a region renowned for its expertise in wood toy manufacturing. This area is known globally as the heart of wood toy production, where the vast majority of wooden toys found around the world are crafted. Many of the biggest brands you see on retail shelves source their wooden toys from this region due to its high standards of craftsmanship and quality. By partnering with manufacturers in Zhejiang, we ensure that our toys meet the same rigorous standards of durability and safety, providing you with products that are both beautiful and long-lasting.
-
Are your toys safe for children?Absolutely! The safety of your child is our top priority. All of our toys are constructed from high-quality wood that is carefully sanded smooth to ensure they are splinter-free. We rigorously test each toy to meet and exceed U.S. toy safety standards, ensuring that our products are safe for play. Additionally, we use water-based paints that are non-toxic and completely free of lead and other harmful chemicals. You can trust that our toys are crafted with care and attention to safety, providing a safe and enjoyable play experience for your little ones.
-
What materials are used to make your toys?At Montessori Mama, we focus on creating toys constructed from high-quality wood. Wood is a sustainable material that offers many advantages over plastic—it is not only recyclable but also renewable, making it better for our planet. Wooden toys are also more durable and safer for children, providing a natural, tactile experience that supports their development. By choosing wood as our primary material, we aim to create products that are better for kids and better for Earth, ensuring playtime is both fun and environmentally responsible.
-
Do you offer any warranties or guarantees on your toys?Yes, we do! We offer a full 12-month warranty on all of our toys. We stand by the quality and craftsmanship of our products, and this warranty ensures that you can have peace of mind with your purchase. To activate the warranty, we kindly ask that you register your toy within 30 days of purchase using the link provided on our website. This registration helps us ensure your toy is covered and allows us to serve you better in the unlikely event that you need to use the warranty.
-
How do I care for and clean the toys?Caring for and cleaning our wooden toys is simple and straightforward. We recommend wiping them down with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grime. It’s important to avoid using too much water, as excessive moisture can damage the wood and affect the durability of the toys. After wiping, let them air dry completely before storing or allowing your child to play with them again. With proper care, our toys can provide years of safe and enjoyable play.
