The Rainbow Spinning Drum is rich in color, which brings a visual impact to the child and promotes the development of the visual sense. It has six colors: purple, red, green, blue, yellow, and orange. When your baby spins the drum, a beautiful feast of colors emerges.

Also, as the drum spins, the organic beans inside make a pleasing sound that will attract your baby! In this way, your baby tries to make the drum spin more by establishing a cause-and-effect relationship.

As your child begins to sit, this toy will encourage your child’s balance, coordination and continues to strengthen your child’s core to sit unassisted.

Care instructions

Wooden toys are beautiful and durable. Toys made of natural materials bring your little one a little closer to the nature by nourishing the child’s senses.

Wood has natural anti-bacterial properties, so keeping them clean is simple and you can even get your kids involved in the process. Here are some tips that can come handy while taking care of the wooden toys –

1. Wooden toys can be wiped with a dry cloth for daily maintenance and cleaning.
2. No Soaking. Never submerge wooden toys in the water; to clean or otherwise. The wood can soak up the water which can gradually lead to cracks.
3. Instead, a slightly damp cloth or sponge can be used to remove dirt or dust and then the toy should be air dried.
4. While drying the toys, do not leave them in a direct sunlight. Sunlight can cause the colors to fade and long exposure to the sunlight and air might damage the wood.
5. Every once in a while, you may want to moisturize wooden toys when it starts to look dry or dull. Coconut oil or olive oil can be applied sparingly with a washcloth. Then let it dry.

Note

Please ensure adult supervision at all times.
