Plastic is found in many everyday products, and we're trying to reduce it as much as possible. Children's plastic toys are a source of plastic pollution on beaches and waterways for hundreds of years. Opt for a biodegradable, sustainable wooden version!
The shovel has whale engravings and the rake has turtle engravings
Recommended for children 4 years and older

Bamboo cultivation is done without the use of pesticides or insecticides.

Dimensions:
Small beach tools measure 21.5 cm long, the handles are between 2 and 2.5 cm wide and the shovel or rake portion is 5.8 cm at its widest.
Use & maintenance:
It is important to store them in a dry place and not leave them lying around in water or humidity.
Discontinue use if products are damaged.
How to dispose of it:
Properly cared for, beach toys should last for years, so don't hesitate to pay it forward and give them to another child if yours gets too old.
At the end of their life, you can place them in the trash, as most compost facilities cannot handle larger pieces of bamboo/wood or metal.
Bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource with antimicrobial properties. Additionally, the moso bamboo used in our toothbrushes is a type of bamboo not consumed by pandas. It grows naturally without the addition of chemicals. The handle is 100% biodegradable. The nylon bristles are flexible enough to reach every corner of your mouth to keep your teeth healthy. It's a great alternative to plastic.
Our mission is to help reduce plastic waste by offering accessible and easy-to-use eco-friendly products.
Making a difference means starting with small gestures. Our adventure began with the bamboo toothbrush, because it's an item we'll use our entire lives and it's (almost) always made of plastic! But we weren't going to stop there! A ton of utilitarian objects are disposable and pollute enormously.
Hence the creation of our various other eco-friendly products, such as our reusable bamboo utensils and straws, our reusable makeup remover pads, our eco-friendly dental floss and much more!
Social economy
For OLA Bamboo, social involvement is an integral part of the company's mission. That's why we do business with Re-Source Intégration, a social economy enterprise located in Gatineau, which employs more than 100 people with disabilities, whether intellectual disabilities, physical limitations, or mental health issues. We also work with Pivot Centre-du-Québec, located in Drummondville, which is a psychosocial rehabilitation service through the medium of work. Recovery participants are people aged 18 and over living with a mental health issue.
Whether it is for the assembly of certain products and displays or for the engraving of certain corporate products; it is a source of pride for us to work with these magnificent teams!
We plant trees
When you purchase an OLA Bamboo product, you are also participating in the planting of trees with Compensation CO2 Québec. It is very important for us to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to the health of our beautiful planet. Since the beginning of the adventure, more than 2,000 trees have been planted in Notre-Dame des Bois and another 1,000 in Stratford, Quebec… thanks to you!
