Frequently Asked Questions

Which of your infant toys are particularly good for transitioning between indoor and outdoor play as the weather changes or for different environments?

Many of our activity mats and some of our durable, wipeable sensory toys are ideal for this purpose. They can be easily used indoors on cooler days and then taken out onto a blanket in the backyard or park when the weather is pleasant, providing a consistent play experience.

Do any of your eco friendly infant toys use plant-based plastics or other innovative sustainable materials besides wood and organic cotton?

While wood and organic cotton are prominent in our eco-friendly line, we also explore and occasionally include toys made from other sustainable materials, such as plant-based plastics (e.g., derived from cornstarch or sugarcane) or natural rubber. We are committed to expanding our environmentally conscious options. Always check the specific product description for material details.

If my baby is a very enthusiastic mouther are the colors and finishes on your wooden toys completely non-toxic and drool-proof?

Yes, absolutely. All our wooden toys intended for infants are finished with certified non-toxic, water-based paints and sealants that are safe for mouthing. They are designed to be drool-proof and withstand typical baby exploration.

Some activity centers look quite large. Do you have recommendations for space-saving infant toys that still offer significant developmental benefits for smaller homes or apartments?

Definitely! We offer many compact options, including developmental stackers, shape sorters, soft books, and smaller activity mats or sensory balls that pack a big developmental punch without taking up too much space. Look for items described as space-saving or check dimensions in the product details.

Are any of your musical soothers or mobiles designed with volume control or a timer function for naptime or bedtime?

Yes, many of our electronic soothers and mobiles feature adjustable volume controls to suit your baby's sensitivity and your preferences. Several also include timer functions that automatically switch off the music or movement after a set period, which is ideal for helping your infant drift off to sleep.

For infants with a strong startle reflex, are there specific types of crinkle toys or rattles that are designed to be gentler or less abrupt in sound?

We do offer sensory toys with a range of auditory stimulation. For babies sensitive to sudden noises, look for our plush toys with very soft crinkle materials or rattles that produce a more gentle, soothing sound rather than a sharp one. Product descriptions often highlight these gentler features.

How do you ensure the BPA-free plastic used in some toys is also free from other potentially concerning chemicals like phthalates or PVC?

Our commitment to safety goes beyond just BPA-free. When we specify a plastic toy is safe, it generally means it is also free from other commonly known harmful chemicals like phthalates and PVC. We prioritize sourcing from manufacturers who adhere to strict safety standards for all materials used in infant products.

When rotating toys for an infant (0-12 months) to maintain interest what's a good general guideline for how many toys to have out at one time?

While every baby is different, a good guideline for this age group is to offer around 4-6 toys at a time in their accessible play area. This provides variety without being overwhelming, allowing them to focus and engage more deeply with each toy. You can then rotate a few items every week or so.

Do any of your developmental toys specifically target bilateral coordination (using both hands together) for infants around 6-12 months?

Yes, several of our developmental toys for the 6-12-month range encourage bilateral coordination. Look for items like larger stacking rings or cups that require both hands to manipulate, some types of shape sorters, or simple puzzles where one hand might stabilize while the other places a piece.

If I'm purchasing an activity mat or gym as a baby shower gift, are there any that are particularly easy to assemble and disassemble for new parents?

Many of our activity mats and gyms are designed with new parents in mind, featuring easy, tool-free assembly and disassembly for convenient storage or transport. We often highlight this easy setup feature in the product descriptions, making them excellent and practical baby shower gifts.
