Toy Blocks

I am starting to make a set of wooden toy blocks, out of various hardwood species, to create a few different colours.

Because children will put things in their mouths and chew them, what is the best finish or them? I was thinking a foodsafe oil like you would use on a chopping board.

Any comments and ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

Hi

I always use a home-made mixture of beeswax and mineral oil.


You can do it yourself!

Or this one.

Don't put any finish on them

:whs:

also stay away from camphor laurel and woods that splinter easily
