Timber Care Instructions
As this product is made from natural timber, it’s essential to maintain it properly to ensure its longevity. After wet use, dry the wheel thoroughly to prevent mould and wood rot. Store it in a dry place, under cover, away from direct sunlight and harsh weather conditions. Weather conditions can affect the timber, so it’s recommended to sand and re-oil the wheel throughout the year as needed.
The Wooden Water & Sand Wheel is an excellent addition to any child’s playtime, encouraging sensory exploration, scientific thinking, and endless fun!
