The Lenki cars are the most fun! Holding onto the car from the top, and just moving your hand a little to one side, to steer in that direction, the wheels of Lenki respond immediately. The axle has the most interesting curves to it, and create an responsive reaction to the steering, where Lenki can then take turns in a most pleasing manner. Lenki is a lot of fun for children already at toddler age, but even for older children and adults, the Lenki cars are most delightful in the hand! Such a simple, but clever and pleasing design, as one feels most in control the responsiveness of steering Lenki.

Wood contains tannins that have a natural antibacterial effect.
However, if cleaning is necessary, for example if it is heavily soiled, then Ostheimer recommends:
Use lukewarm water, possibly with a little diluted vinegar or a splash of ecological washing-up liquid (liquid dish detergent).
Gently rub the surfaces with a soft, clean cloth or sponge.
Lightly sand natural wood figures (not painted figures) in heavily soiled areas with 120 grit sandpaper.
After cleaning, rub the toy with a soft cotton cloth and let it air dry.
Nest Notes: Ostheimer items are known for being very smoothly sanded; however, should you ever encounter a rough spot or edge, you can use the 'brown paper bag trick', where you rub a brown paper bag just a little bit vigorously, and it acts as a very, very fine sandpaper that generally does not affect the colour.
