Polepole Wooden Animals How They Are Made

We absolutely love these beautifully crafted little wooden animals. They are simple and tactile with adorable little faces. The look lovely in nurseries and bedrooms but are also fun to play with.  

HOW THEY ARE MADE.....

LOOK AFTER THE FORESTS

The wood used to make these adorable wooden animals is very light and comes from the forests of Albizia Falcata in Indonesia, and has a very rapid natural growth. T-Lab preserves these forests and is committed to replanting the trees that serve its production. It has no chemical or pollutant treatment in the wood .

SLOWLY, SLOWLY!

Pole-Pole' (poh-leh poh-leh) means 'slowly slowly' in Swahili, which perfectly describes how these special little animals are made: with love, care and the greatest attention to detail.

CARVED & SANDED

Each animal is cut, carved and finely sanded to perfection producing a beautifully tactile finished animal.

HAND PAINTED

And finally they are hand-painted with the cutest expressions and detail, so each has its own unique character!. The paints are chemical and pollutant free.

THE FINISHED PRODUCT......just beautiful
