Painted Turtle Wooden Toys are all natural, heirloom quality and handmade in Canada. Each toy is guaranteed to be made from locally sourced wood that is environmentally conscious and then finished with 100% non toxic finishes.

Each toy is made using hard maple, white ash, cherry and walnut that is sourced from a local family owned sawmill that has been responsibly managing their lumber since 1959. Each piece is made to last – making these toys the perfect heirloom gifts.

I love the selection of stacking toys, teething rings and rattles. My favorite are the teething and nursing pendants for new mamas. The pendant is safe for babies to teethe on and secure enough for busy little hands to play with while nursing.
