The continents map is machine washable and can be ironed on low. All peg dolls are finished with non-toxic child safe paints. Small toys can represent a chocking hazard for mouthing babies. We highly recommend supervising children under the age of three who are still putting items in their mouths.
The beauty of handmade wooden toys is that two of the exact same item may look slightly different due to the natural characteristics of the wood.
