frequently
asked questions

why wooden toys are expensive?

Wooden toys often come with a higher price tag due to several factors that contribute to their cost and value. Firstly, wooden toys made by BAVVIC are crafted entirely in Poland, which ensures strict quality control and supports the local economy. We source our wood locally, prioritizing environmental sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. By choosing local wood, we not only support responsible forestry practices but also ensure that the materials used are of the highest quality. The craftsmanship involved in creating each wooden toy requires skilled labor, and the attention to detail in design and production justifies the cost. Additionally, the aesthetic appeal and tactile experience of wooden toys are unmatched, making them not just toys, but heirlooms that can be passed down and cherished over time.

How do I pronounce the company name ‘BAVVIC’?

The correct pronunciation of our company name ‘BAVVIC’ is pronounced as “BAH-vik.” The emphasis is on the first syllable, ensuring a clear and concise pronunciation. Remember, it’s “BAH-vik,” with a short and sharp beginning, followed by a soft ending. Yet, BAWIĆ means - PLAY in polish, so you can also play around with it :)

why is having fewer toys is beneficial for children?

Research suggests that fewer toys can lead to higher quality play. With fewer distractions, children can engage more deeply, fostering their cognitive and social development. BAVVIC’s toys are versatile and multifunctional, designed to replace the need for many single-purpose toys.

what materials are used to make BAVVIC connectors, and how do you ensure they are safe for children?

BAVVIC’s connectors are crafted from natural materials as well. They are made from toxin-free and BPA-free food-grade silicone, which is also recyclable, ensuring they are completely safe for children. Every connector undergoes rigorous testing, including choking hazard assessments, to meet the highest safety standards. With BAVVIC, you can rest assured that your child’s playtime is not only educational and fun but also environmentally conscious and safe.

can BAVVIC toys really help improve my child's concentration?

BAVVIC toys are specifically designed to enhance concentration. The hands-on, engaging nature of our toys requires focused attention, promoting longer periods of play and deeper engagement, which can help in developing better concentration skills.

how do BAVVIC toys foster creativity in children?

BAVVIC’s open-ended concept encourages creativity by allowing children to build and explore without limits. Our toys serve as a canvas for imagination, enabling kids to create and experiment, which enhances their innovative thinking skills.

who designed BAVVIC?

BAVVIC was the brainchild of a unique collaboration between an architect and a therapist. Combining their skills, passion, expertise, and a shared admiration for design, they created toys that are not just playthings but tools for development and creativity. Their innovative approach ensures that BAVVIC toys support both the mental and physical development of children, blending aesthetics with functionality in each meticulously crafted piece.

how should I clean BAVVIC toys?

To ensure the longevity and safety of BAVVIC toys, it’s important to clean them properly. The wooden elements are made from natural wood, which means they should not be exposed to wet, sticky, or oily substances. For cleaning, lightly wipe the wood with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking in water or using harsh chemicals. For the silicone connectors, you can wash them with mild soap and water. Always dry thoroughly after cleaning to maintain the quality of the toys.

what should I do if a wooden piece from my BAVVIC toy breaks?

At BAVVIC, we understand that wood, with its unique and natural structure, sometimes behaves in unexpected ways. If any of the wooden pieces from your BAVVIC toy breaks, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We value the natural beauty and integrity of wood and are committed to sustainability and customer satisfaction. Therefore, we’re always happy to send you a replacement for the broken part directly. This approach not only respects the natural qualities of wood but also aligns with our philosophy of cherishing and preserving these unique characteristics, rather than seeing them as flaws.

what should I do if I can’t fit the wooden pieces of my BAVVIC toy together?

If you’re finding it difficult to fit the wooden pieces of your BAVVIC toy together, remember that each piece has three to four unique combinations to try. Our toys are crafted from natural materials, designed to adapt and fit snugly over time. Initially, the connections may feel tight, but this is intentional to ensure they don’t become too loose with use. Additionally, wood behaves much like a living plant, responding to its environment. In cold conditions, wood can contract, and in warm, humid settings, it expands. This natural responsiveness is part of the charm and sustainability of using wood for toys, reminding us of the material’s connection to nature and its dynamic qualities.
