Love this product for my 19 month old girl. She loves to play with him when he's just gotten him (without washing himself). And it's very easy to learn. Due to COVID-19 I want to wash it before my girl actually plays with it. Then I rinse with warm water and let it air dry. Her form has changed, can't keep up today. So my girlfriend can't really enjoy it. I recommend this product but remember that it cannot be washed as it is made of wood and wood that meets water grows so it changes shape.
