Hand-made in Europe, Grimm's solid wooden toys are made from wood grown in sustainably-managed forests in Europe. Each piece is heirloom quality, one-of-a-kind and has its own grain pattern and unique features. The woods used are alter, lime, maple and beech. With few exceptions, everything is sawed and sanded by hand. The finished toys are then dipped in non-toxic paints. The rich colorful stains penetrate the sanded wood which leaves a natural velvety surface and preserves the characteristics of the wood. The matte surface also makes it easier for little hands to grip and hold the toys. The stains are non-toxic and water-based and tots can safely put these toys in their mouths. (Smooth wood is great for teething.) All stains and oils are certified according to European and US toy safety standards. Headquartered in Hochdorf, Germany, Grimm's has been family-owned since it started in 1978. When designing new toys, Grimm's is guided by the Waldorf education and similar alternative pedagogical approaches, such as Montessori. Grimm's are my favorite toys to recommend due to their high quality, lack of toxicity, environmental integrity and workmanship.
