Are the bricks made from solid wood?

Can these bricks be washed?

It is recommended to wipe them with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid immersing them in water or using harsh cleaning agents.

What educational benefits do these bricks offer?

They help develop hand-to-eye coordination, fine motor skills, color and shape recognition, counting abilities, and an understanding of cause and effect. They also foster imagination and creativity.

Is the packaging suitable for storage?

The cylindrical packaging has dimensions of approximately 18cm (diameter) x 25cm (height), which can be used for storage, but many users opt for separate storage solutions once the toy is out of the box.

Troubleshooting

Bricks seem uneven or don't stack well.

Ensure the surface you are building on is flat and stable. Check that the individual bricks are clean and free from debris that might affect their balance.

Paint chipping or damage to the wood.

This is rare with quality wooden toys, but if minor wear occurs, continue to use as normal. For significant damage, discontinue use to prevent small pieces from breaking off.

Difficulty with small pieces for younger toddlers.

For children under 18 months, supervise closely during play. Ensure they understand that blocks are for building, not mouthing. Consider introducing them to larger blocks first if they are not yet adept at handling smaller items.
