Red Hull Sailing Boat – Glückskäfer

A beautiful handmade wooden toy sailing boat featuring a red hull and a detachable cotton sail from the ‘water toys’ range by Glückskäfer. This versatile toy boat is made in Europe from delightfully tactile beech wood. A perfect companion for bath time or outside for sailing and exploring unknown waters, the sailing boat is suitable for play in water. It is also great for playing on dry land!

The boat measures 22 x 9 x 21cm and offers an endless variety of open-ended play possibilities and a sensory rich experience for the child.

We recommend gently wiping the boat dry and to not leave it in the sun too long as this may cause the wood to dry too quickly and crack or split. To keep this wooden toy in top condition occasionally apply a thin coating of linseed oil with a soft cotton cloth.

The Glückskäfer wooden red hull sailing boat is suitable for children aged 3 years and up.
