*** Made to Order ***
Our wooden toys are made to order, so there will be a little bit of time before your order will ship. Please see our shop announcement for the current made to order time (the section below the banner on our shop home page – http://armadillodreams.etsy.com). This means your wooden toys will be made especially for you which makes customization easy (see below).
*** What Makes Our Toys Special ***
Our wood toys are handmade out of poplar, sanded very smooth using up to 5 different sanding processes, and are finished with natural beeswax cream to seal the wood. Painted wood toys have a wash of AP certified non-toxic watercolor paint applied. We use a watercolor wash instead of completely coating them so you can still see the wood grain and for a more natural texture. All lines and details are wood burned so they'll never fade away. Edges are hand sanded to round them slightly and make them friendly for little hands. Each wooden toy is made from a different piece of poplar, so grain and slight color variation may occur. Our wooden toys are hand detailed and each has its own personality, but will look very close to the original. All of our designs are hand drawn so you won't find wooden toys like ours anywhere!
*** Customization / Personalization ***
We are able to customize any of our handmade toys upon request. We can personalize them with wood burned names, initials or words. We can also paint custom colors or alter designs. Please contact us if you would like to customize or personalize our handmade toys and we will give you a quote.
*** Ordering Multiples ***
Please contact us and we would be glad to increase the item quantity on any of our handmade toys if you would like to order multiples of the same toy, or we can make you a custom listing to purchase.
*** Shipping ***
We ship our toys USPS first class. Average first class shipping time in the U.S. is 2-6 business days. Average first class shipping time outside the U.S. is 1-3 weeks. If you need your toys delivered faster, please contact us with the address your toys will be shipping to and the date you will need them by. We will be glad to give you a quote.
*** Packaging / Gift Giving ***
We take great care when packaging our handmade toys. Presentation is very important to us. We take the time to make the package opening experience great! All of our handmade toys come in a cotton drawstring storage bag with tissue paper wrapping inside and outside the bag. Please contact us if you would like additional gift wrapping or if you would like to include a gift message.
*** Wholesale ***
We are constantly seeking new wholesale business. If you are interested in buying our wood toys wholesale, please contact us for details.
*** About Our Toys / Safety ***
Our wood toys are handmade with lots of love! They are perfect for imaginary play, learning, display, or for adding to your seasonal nature table toy collection. Our wood toys are also great for Montessori education or Waldorf education. We believe it's important for children to have high quality, natural, simple toys that they can dream, imagine and play with. Please do not give our smaller toys or painted toys to children who are still putting things in their mouths. Our paint is AP certified non-toxic and the wood is sealed, but there is a small chance that the watercolor paint may run when wet. Painted toys are not for use in water.
