Feel free to ask us anything you are interested in. On social media you can find us on Facebook and Instagram. But the best way is to write us an e-mail so we won’t overlook your message. Here is the list of questions that our customers are usually curious about.
1. What does the word KUTULU mean?
The name KUTULU is based on Czech word “kutálet" which means rolling. We named the brand after our first series of toys that are based on the movement of a rolling hemisphere. That is why this series is called KUTULU. The name also explains that these toys are for kids and that we enjoy to be creative and to work on DIY projects ("kutilství" in Czech language).
2. Where are KUTULU toys made and what materials do we use?
We are based in Carlsbad and Prague. Our partner carpenters who supply us with wooden components are from Moravia. Our workshop where we drill and grind the components is in Carlsbad and then we paint, glue, pack and send the toys to the world from Prague. We only use beech wood since its high quality is perfect for our products.
3. Why are KUTULU toys made out of wood?
We love nature, rustling forests and fragrant wood. It is important for us to work with material that is ecological, renewable and sustainable. Forestry has a long tradition in our country and tradition is something we appreciate a lot. We decided to use beech wood specifically because it has beautiful design and is hard enough to meet our component precision requirements. • The wood we use for toys comes only from legal logging in Czech and Slovak forests.
4. What does the CE mark mean?
The CE mark means that all our toys are certified and meet the safety requirements of European Union legislation. All products marked in this way are allowed to move freely on the European market. The CE symbol itself means: Conformité Européenne. • Unfortunately it is easy to confuse it with the China Export symbol at first glance. In case of products imported from China it is also a combination of the letters C and E, but they are a little closer together.
5. For how old children are KUTULU toys intended?
Most of our toys are classified by the certification authority as a suitable toy for children from 3 years of age. This is mainly due to the fact that these toys would not pass the so-called dipping test. The dipping test consists of immersing the toy in water for 4 minutes, then removing it for 10 minutes and this is repeated 3 times. Then a force of 90 N is developed on the toy in tension and torsion. Imagine a 9 kg weight that hangs on each component. All our toys passed this test successfully in the dry state. So it is not possible to bathe with our toys or leave them lying in the water. • The BRIKULO construction set is suitable for children from 1 year of age. It does not have mechanical properties that water could disrupt. The components from the BRIKULO kit are large enough so that children cannot suffocate with them. Each component is tested to see if it passes through a small components cylinder that simulates a child's mouth. • Safety is very important to us.
6. Who is the author of the design of toys, photos and website?
