Selecta have been producing wooden toys and games for over 35 years in their technically advanced German factory. Their knowledge and expertise is vital in the development of every toy and game.

The Selecta design team has years of experience in producing toys that are unique in appearance and quality as well as function. Selecta pride themselves in producing toys that are educational, safe and fun!

Safe, water soluble varnishes are used to emphasize the unique natural beauty of the wood Selecta chooses for each wooden toy. Selecta only use environmentally-friendly and totally safe paints and lacquers which comply with EN71.

Using a special transfer printing process, Selecta are able to print colourful illustrations onto the wood itself. This process enables them to produce very bright and brilliant colours, as well as providing a strong scratch-resistant surface which can withstand saliva.

All our toys comply with the following regulations:

FSC certificate assures consumers that the product comes from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations. FSC stands for "Forest Stewardship Council".  It is an independent, non-governmental, not for profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

A CE Mark must be placed by every manufacturer or first supplier in the Community on their toy to indicate that it has been made in conformity with the essential safety requirements of the directive. It is an enforcement mark (not a sign of quality or safety) and was established to ensure free movement of product throughout the European Union - a sort of passport for toys. It has to appear, along with the first supplier's name and address "in a visible, legible and indelible form" on the toy or its packaging.

The GS mark indicates that it was tested and complies with the minimum requirements of the German Equipment and Product Safety Act (a.k.a. GPSG). The GS Mark, which stands for Geprüfte Sicherheit in German and means Safety Tested, is a licensed mark of the German government and may only be issued by an accredited product safety testing and certification agency.

Finally Selecta's boxes are colourful and informative and a complete set of instructions comes with each product.
