■Wood used for toys is selected during product development to take advantage of the "warmth, texture, color, weight, aroma, and sound" characteristics of each tree. Maple is used for rattles and building blocks. The transparent surface of the wood is silky to the touch, and the high specific gravity of the wood prevents it from falling off or cracking even if a baby chews on it. Mastro Geppetto's wood is made from scrap wood left over from furniture production in the woodworking industry, and is used as much as possible from an ecological point of view. The plywood is made from Ecosila plywood, which is made from thinned birch wood from Hokkaido, Japan.
■All wood is solid, and all paints used have passed food sanitation tests, so you can rest assured that your children will not lick it up.
