Big Noah's Ark by Holztiger

Price includes: One Big Ark and Mr & Mrs Noah

Wooden Toy: HOLZTIGER toys are all handmade. First of all, the contours are stamped out on wooden boards, then the figures are cut out with a saw. A number of different steps follow to smooth off the rough surfaces and edges. The wood is then primed and finish-sanded - a process which results in a particularly smooth and soft surface. Next, the figures are hand-painted with water paints. To make the figures resistant to perspiration and saliva, each figure is subsequently painted - also by hand - with a water lacquer. Once the HOLZTIGER logo is burnt in, the final step is a trip to quality control before the wooden figure is released for its journey to the playroom!

HOLZTIGER paints its figures with water-based acrylic paints (so-called water paints), which are totally non-toxic. The grain of the wood is still visible even after painting, so that the full character of the wood is retained. In choosing the colours for its wooden figures, HOLZTIGER dipped into all the most colourful pots, because vibrant colours are known to awaken a child's desire for exploration and discovery. The rich colours are complemented by the friendly faces painted onto the wooden figures.

HOLZTIGER wooden figures conform with the European Directives for Toys (DIN EN 71). The non-toxic paints and varnishes are furthermore subject to constant quality controls by the state supervisory authorities. Over and above this, HOLZTIGER makes additional voluntary commitments to quality and safety. For example, every wooden figure has an additional topcoat of satin-finish water paint to make it resistant to perspiration and saliva. A HOLZTIGER whale will even "survive" a short swim in the bathtub without its colours fading!

As their name implies, HOLZTIGER wooden figures are made entirely of wood. Wood is by nature free from pollutants and as a sustainable raw material, has no negative impact on the environment. To meet the challenges posed by hard playroom conditions, HOLZTIGER uses only hardwood, whereby most of the figures are made of maple. Maple is not only hard and durable, but is also characterised by attractive graining. Dependent on the requirements, oak, beech and birch are also used as well as maple. So when you buy a wooden toy made by HOLZTIGER, you can be sure that it is not only durable and ecologically sound, but that it also meets the highest quality requirements.
