All our products are tested and CE certified in France by a toy conformity testing laboratory. 

We take the first musical experimentations of toddlers and young children very seriously.Our range is inspired by several pedagogical criteria, some of which were established by Maria Montessori. 

In addition, we are trained in Montessori pedagogy as well as in several active musical pedagogies. We are inspired by all our knowledge when designing our objects.

The wood we use comes from sustainably managed French forests. We use beech, a dense, light wood with a beautiful finish. Used for a long time for, among other things, the manufacture of domestic utensils, it is a healthy wood (absence of tannin) and therefore safe to put in the mouth.

Known under the scientific name Fagus Sylvatica, the beech is the most widespread tree in France after the oak. It is a very resistant wood and even stronger than oak!

Our objects highlight the beauty of wood. Chacune de nos pièces est unique.
