Grimm's Little Land Yacht Set of 4
With this small sailing fleet there is a lot to discover when you explore the play worlds created by small world builders. After all, each little boat is just as suitable for off-road use in sand as it is on carpeted and wooden floors. Young explorers will also discover that the sailing fleet also floats wonderfully on water, which is due to the natural buoyancy of wood.
Please note: wet wood should only dry at room temperature and not on the heater or in direct sunlight, as can cause cracks to occur.
Each yacht has a colour-coordinated sailor on board, who of course can also steer another boat from time to time, but who is always happy to return to his/her own boat. This colour matching and sorting is not always of equal interest to all small and big world builders. Therefore, as always with free play, the motto is: Anything goes, there are no rules!
Through their different colours and different types of wood, the Rainbow Friends reflect our wonderful diverse world as well as celebrating everyone’s uniqueness. Each one of our little hand-painted wooden figures has a different look and individual wood grain. These happy little wooden figures, made from different types of wood from trees indigenous to central Europe, are gender neutral. With no specific facial expression, they can be either sad or happy. With their simple appearance they spur on the child’s imagination instead of restricting it by offering too much detail.
Tip: Please secure the sail in its position by carefully tapping with a small hammer. Over time, this will expand and the sail can be removed again.

Natural Markings
Black stripes are also something completely natural. This is the so-called pith tube or "heart of the tree". It differs from the surrounding wood by the darker colour and structure. When working on the wood, it can become completely or partially visible. This feature is part of the natural appearance of the wood. Therefore, these are not defects for us, but quality features of a natural product and as such are desired and welcome by us. We love this uniqueness of wood!
Cleaning
If you want to remove dirt from our products, simply wipe gently with a damp cloth and a little soapy water (if necessary). When drying, please do not place on the heater, otherwise, cracks may occur in the wood. Please allow to dry at room temperature. Please never clean our toys with disinfectant, hot water or similar!
How can I wash the dolls?
Our dolls appreciate a superficial and gentle cleaning with a little mild soapy water only. Please be careful and gentle when cleaning the face. The colors on the face are water-resistant, but they can fade. Please allow to dry at room temperature.
