When parents receive a wooden kitchen toy for their child, what they usually notice may be the beautiful design, the smooth finish, and the joy it brings during playtime.
But few people ask: how is a toy like this actually made?

At Guanyi, we believe the real value of a children’s toy lies not only in how it looks, but in how carefully it is treated from the very first sketch.
Today, we’d like to take you behind the scenes and walk you through every step—from drawing to finished product.

Step 1: Designing from Real Play Scenarios

Before we ever sketch the appearance of a kids’ kitchen toy, we ask a simple question:
How will children actually play with it?

Will a toddler imitate cooking like an adult?
Or will older children play together, sharing roles and collaborating?

Based on these real-life play scenarios, we design the structure first:
Is the counter height suitable?
Are the knobs easy for small hands to turn?
Are there too many accessories that could affect safety or storage?

All of these questions are carefully discussed long before the first drawing is finalized.

                   

Step 2: Iterative Design Drawings

A kitchen toy design is rarely completed in one go.

At the drawing stage, we consider multiple factors at the same time:

• Structural stability
• Dimensions suitable for mass production
• Smooth, rounded edges
• Compliance with international safety standards

Sometimes even a small handle design goes through several revisions.
Because for children, details matter more than anything else.

Step 3: Prototyping and Physical Testing

Once the drawings are finalized, we move on to prototyping.

Prototypes are not just for display—they are meant to be used:
We assemble and disassemble them repeatedly,
test how smoothly the knobs turn,
check the strength of joints,
and even simulate unexpected ways children might play.

Only after a prototype passes our internal tests do we move forward.

Step 4: Safety Checks

For wooden children’s toys, material choice is critical.

Is the wood stable and resistant to cracking?
Are the coatings non-toxic and safe?
Will the surface remain smooth after long-term use?

At Guanyi, safety always comes first.
Every material must meet strict standards before it becomes part of a finished product.

Step 5: Production, Assembly, and Final Inspection

Once production begins, every component is manufactured, polished, and assembled according to the same standards.

In the final stage, we conduct a full inspection:
Is the structure stable?
Are all details properly finished?
Is it truly safe to place in a child’s hands?

Only after passing these checks is the product considered complete.

In Closing

From a single drawing to a complete wooden kitchen toy,
this is not a fast process.
It is a journey of constant checking, refining, and thinking one step further for children.

At Guanyi, we believe that
toys with real warmth are made with care—every step of the way.
