Hell yes!

The wood used to make the toy meets all important environmental criteria.
The most commonly used wood in Bigjig's toys is rubber wood. Rubber wood is a by-product of the latex production process and therefore very sustainable wood.

Safety always comes first at Bigjigs.
Every toy designed and sold under the Bigjigs brand is extensively researched and tested by an independent lab to ensure it meets all safety standards required in Europe and the US.
This testing process is very extensive. Consider, for example, rigorous durability testing, chemical analysis and paint analysis and attention to age-related guidelines.
Small children not only play with their hands, but also with their mouth. That is why it is important that the toy does not contain toxic dyes.
Luckily you can breathe easy with Bigjig's toys; all toys of this brand are 100% safe.
