Our collection of wooden toys are all Camphill products. They have been produced to meet with the toy safety standards of the European Union.
Camphill Communities in England and Wales offer opportunities for people with learning disabilities, mental health problems and other special needs to live, learn and work with others of all abilities in an atmosphere of mutual care and respect. As part of the economic life of its communities the Camphill Village Trust has developed a range of high quality craft products.
The wide variety of activity involved in the production processes create many opportunities for individuals to discover their practical and artistic skills and thus make a contribution to community life. For further information on the wonderful work of the Camphill Communities visit www.camphill.org.uk.
If the objects have been checked for any obvious hazards, the carer is sitting close enough to observe when there is an imminent threat (and can move the baby's hand or take an object from him), the baby should be allowed to explore as much as s/he can. Only choose items you are comfortable with your baby exploring.
