The crown is made from walnut, the handle maple. It will hold up well to years of imaginative play. The colors you see are natural, we use no stains or dyes on any of our products. The edges are rounded over and everything is sanded smooth. This wand is finished with a natural beeswax polish we make ourselves. All of the materials we use are non-toxic. And fun! In fact we GUARANTEE all Happy Bungalow products to be FUN! (see below) This crown is about 2-3/4 inches tall, overall the wand is about 12 inches long. The picture is representative - every wand is unique, so yours will vary slightly. Painting your wand? Select the unfinished option or leave us a note when you order and we'll send you an unfinished wand (the paint sticks better to the raw wood). Note: you'll receive one wooden magic wand (pictures with more than one wand show how wands will vary). Every wand comes with a use and care guide and a lifetime warranty (see below).
