As the wood isn't colour-washed or painted, the natural properties of the wood really shine through - the grain, colour, lustre, texture, and macro-structure, which all make each piece really unique and beautiful. Safe to be used as a teething toy.

The materials themselves have purpose - wood is natural and warm. In the hand the soft forms inspire and the textures soothe.

The theory of “loose parts” was first proposed by architect Simon Nicholson in the 1970's. Nicholson believed that it is the 'loose parts' in our environment that will empower our creativity. In a play, loose parts are materials that can be moved, carried, combined, redesigned, lined up, and taken apart and put back together in multiple ways. They are materials with no specific set of directions that can be used alone or combined with other materials. Loose parts can be natural or synthetic. Having "loose parts" available in a play space allows children to use these materials as they choose. Often you will find that children would rather play with materials that they can use and adapt as they please, rather than toys that have a single purpose. Encouraging children to use resources as they choose can provide a wider range of opportunities than one that is purely adult led. When children play with loose parts are using creativity and imagination and developing skill and competence.
