Additional description:
Until recently, BRIO wooden toys were made with pride in Sweden since 1884. The company used all non-toxic materials, including flawless beechwood and birch hardwoods that are durable enough for decades of play and free of insecticides and toxic chemicals; paints that are likewise non-toxic, with up to 60 coats applied to each painted piece to resist chipping while maintaining their bright colors.
