  • How are the wooden cabinets protected from water damage?

    The cabinets are finished with a high quality, water resistant and non-toxic finish, but like any wood product, standing water can damage the wooden surfaces.

    We do recommend that you take plan to take steps to prevent water damage as soon as your cabinets arrive. This will keep your cabinets in pristine condition for many years.

    1. We have found that clear contact shelf paper is effective to keep standing water off the shelves.
      • It protects the shelf surface while allowing the beauty of the wood still shine through.
      • We recommend that you apply the contact paper immediately before use (while you are assembling the cabinets).
    2. We also include a small tube of silicone sealant,
      • apply to the wooden joints on the countertop, as you assemble the cabinet.

    Instructions are included for both of these steps.

    I don’t see an ‘Add to Cart’ button for the products I want. How can I purchase these products?

    The first step in setting up a NatureTot System is to decide between two products:

    1. Purchase one of two products:
      · The Full NatureTot System: where everything is provided for you, including cabinets, curated materials and the online Masterclass
      OR
      · NatureTot System Masterclass: an online training course providing guidance on what materials and exercises are needed to integrate a simple cycle of life in your class.
    2. Once you have made either purchase, you are given access to any of our other products. You are also enrolled as a member of the NatureTot Community. This allows you to purchase any of our products at anytime.
    3. After your free community membership expires (3 or 6 months, depending on your purchase) you continue to get access to the course, community and products by maintaining your membership in the NatureTot Community for $9US/month.

    The products are compatible with each other and will work on the Full NatureTot System, so you could build your system up over years. Happy building!

    I have very little space in my class. Do you have a product that would help me bring the life cycle in my prepared environment?

    Yes, we understand that some schools are particularly limited in space. We have a new product coming for this! It is a compact variation of the Harvesting Cabinet, providing you with repetition and growing space but without the same space consumption. It is also modular, so you will be able to choose your size. This will work well for small classes or even families. Coming this spring!

    Will this meet my licensing requirements?

    While we cannot say if this will meet your licensing requirements, we have had this in several classes without issue. Please be sure that you follow your licensing requirements. If you have questions please contact us for assistance.
