    About the product:

    • Article number: E810593
    • Brand: Elou
    • Material: natural cork.
    • Size: 80 x 80 x 140 mm.
    • Recommended age by the manufacturer: 18 month+
    • Precautionary recommendations: Although all Elou cork products are certified for early developmental ages, and they comply with bite safety requirements for the recommended age, it is still advised to let children play under the supervision of a responsible adult, especially during the child’s teething phase. Corks light and soft nature allows the child, with a bigger effort, to remove small pieces of cork – just like from playmat foam, for instance.
    • Care: Cork is waterproof and therefore easy to clean. To clean a cork toy, use a damp cloth and then let it dry. Do not use corrosive cleaning agents or sterilizers. Although waterproof, bath toys must not exceed 1 hour of permanent contact with water. Afterwards, it should be cleaned with a dry towel and left to dry at room temperature. Only after a good drying time, of approximately 4 hours, can the product be returned to the water.
    • Just like wood, cork is a durable material, but not indestructible. It reacts to changes in its environment, and over time it is prone to decay – especially if it is exposed to rough handling. But it is exactly the very thing that makes it a sustainable material.

    Elou toys are sustainably made in Portugal complying the highest toy safety standards, including the European EN71 (CE). Please note that cork is a natural material, therefore slight variations of colour, weight and volume are natural and can also develop over time due to the lifecycle of the material or the changes in the environment (including temperature, humidity).
