Selecta
Childrens Wooden Puzzles & Wooden Games
Selecta began to produce wooden toys for nursery schools over 38 years ago with the aim to provide high value, specially chosen toys which promote the development of children and place a special value on natural materials such as wood. Many years experience and continual development make Selecta products unique. Selecta toys and games are predominently produced in Germany using the know-how collected over many years of working with wood in order to produce toys and games that are beautiful, durable and safe.
Selecta Wooden Games and Toys are About:
Educational and Play Value:
With names such as Fröbel and Maria Montessori as their role-models, Selecta looks back on a long tradition of producing toys for toddlers, and considers all the knowledge they have collected in the development of each toy. From the first idea until their realization, Selecta toys are subjected to many tests, carried out together with the assistance and advice of experienced teachers, in families, nursery schools and playgroups. They procure the recommendations of teachers and parents before completing the development of a new Selecta toy. The focus during the development of Selecta toys and games is placed on high value playtime and the ability of a toy or game to animate the children into playing independently.
Safety and Durability:
Selecta toys and games are predominently produced in Germany, where modern techniques and traditions come together with the know-how collected over many years of working with wood. Since wood is a natural material, you don´t have to worry if your children put it into their mouths. Only environmentally friendly and completely safe colours and varnishes, which emphasize and enhance the unique natural beauty of the wood, are used on Selecta toys. Selecta was also one of the first manufacturers to improve the surfaces of their toys with beeswax. This gives Selecta toys a soft, velvety seal which allows the warm golden tones of the wood to shine through, and gives the toys an appealing, natural aroma.
Have you noticed that the illustrations on Selecta wooden slabs have particularly brilliant colours? For over 20 years, Selecta has used a special heat transfer printing process to print colourful illustrations onto wood. This process also gives the products a robust surface that is scratch and saliva resistant and washable. The colours stay bright over many years of intensive use.
