FAQs
What age is this toy suitable for?

Is the wood treated with any chemicals?
The toy is crafted from sustainable wood and finished with child-safe paints and coatings. Specific chemical treatments are not detailed but are designed to meet safety standards for children's toys.
Can this toy be used in water?
No, the Tooky Toy Wooden Pull Along Crocodile is not waterproof and should not be used in or near water. Water can damage the wood and its mechanism.
What are the dimensions of the crocodile?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product information, but it is designed to be a manageable size for toddlers to pull and interact with.
How long is the pull string?
The length of the pull string is designed to be safe and ergonomic for toddlers learning to walk, typically allowing them to stand upright while pulling.
Troubleshooting
Crocodile does not wiggle when pulled.
Ensure the crocodile is on a flat, smooth surface. Check that the wooden segments are not obstructed and can move freely. If a segment seems stuck, gently try to dislodge it.
Pull string is tangled.
Carefully untangle the string by hand. Avoid forcing knots, which can weaken the string.
Paint appears chipped.
For minor chips, inspect the area to ensure no sharp edges remain. For safety, if chipping is significant, consider discontinuing use.
