Handmade Wooden Melon – Montessori & Waldorf

Our Handmade Wooden Melon is just what you need! This eco-friendly and beautifully designed toy is inspired by real fruits and is made from carved ash wood from the Romanian forest. Not only is it durable and long-lasting, but it's also painted by talented Noelino artists with water-based, non-toxic colors. Finished with olive oil, this toy is safe for your little ones to play with. This wooden toy is perfect for pretend play grocery shopping and is a great addition to your child's playtim

Each piece is carved from a single block of solid ash wood, hand-sanded and painted in layers. The finish is olive oil: natural, protective and gentle on the wood grain. No plastic components. Small variations in colour and grain are a natural characteristic of handmade production — not defects.

Wooden fruit and vegetable toys bring the kitchen and market into the play space. Children sort by colour, count by type and arrange into meals — building the foundations of mathematics and language through repetition and pleasure.
