Handmade Wooden Watermelon – Montessori & Waldorf

This beautiful toy is made from carved ash wood from the Romanian forest and is painted by talented Noelino artists with water-based, non-toxic colors. Not only is it a durable and long-lasting toy, but it's also finished with olive oil, making it safe for your little ones to play with. The Handmade Wooden Watermelon is an original design inspired by real fruits and is perfect for pretend play grocery shopping, making it a great addition to your child's playtime. This wooden toy is sanded

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.
