All these items are ageless. They are used by children as skill development devices, or collected by adults related to beauty, aesthetics, construction or simply colour. The items are hand crafted and hand painted with non-toxic paint, made out of European cherry wood. In children they encourage a number of skills including dexterity, colour and shape recognition, understanding of size, counting, and spatial awareness. The objects could also fulfil the function of grasping or teething toys.
