ABOUT OUR NUMBER BONDS WOODEN RODS SET:

I fully design my line of learning toys here at home in the US. However, in this global age of manufacturing, I am grateful to partner with other talented folks to bring my designs to life. My goal is to balance ethical, worry-free production and costs while acknowledging supply chain efficiencies.

The wooden rods in this set are made with repurposed wood from the rubbertree in Southeast Asia. Once rubbertrees cease producing latex they are then only cut down. The design then comes to life through the talented hands of my woodmaker partners in Asia. The finishing on our rods are a water-based finish, and the toy is certified non-toxic and safe.

Our woodmakers work in compliance with the BSCI code of conduct, which is a standardized European approach for monitoring social standards. The finished products are then 3rd-party tested by TUV SUD, a German-based monitoring laboratory company. Our toy is certified safe under U.S., EU, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, toy safety laws. This includes ASTM F963, UK EN-71, EN-71, SOR 2011-17 & 18, and AUS/NZ ISO 8124 Regulations.

The finished product is then shipped out directly from us here in Texas, and on occasion, shipped out by a fulfillment partner who can ship out faster than we can.
