Many of the toys we sell are natural products which have natural markings present. These one-of-a-kind toys have the inherent qualities of materials found in nature. Marks and wood grain vary greatly and are considered beautiful. It's what makes your particular item special! If you receive an item with unique marks, these are not considered defects, they're part of the experience of playing with wooden toys. We will not accept returns/exchanges based on the natural variations of wood products. If you have concerns, please contact us before making your purchase.

We do our best to accurately feature the products on our website, but we are human and make mistakes! If something you ordered isn't what you thought it was, contact us at info@citizenkid.ca.
