This model is made entirely from wood, which is a reassuring choice if you prefer natural materials for your child. The solid wooden construction gives each fruit piece a satisfying weight that is easy for small hands to grasp without feeling flimsy. Because the pieces are designed as chunky fruits, they are easier for toddlers to manipulate while learning to match shapes. The smooth finish helps protect little fingers, and the sliding lid keeps all the pieces contained, so you can focus on letting your child explore safely while developing fine motor skills.
