Wood:
Kondapalli toys are made of wood available locally called Tella Poniki (White Sander wood and botanically called Jiuotia Rotteri Fromis).
The Kondapalli craftsmen use this particular wood because this wood is soft, lightweight and can be easily carved. The wood is brought by the craftsmen from the nearby forests of Gangineni, Adlapadu, Konduru, Chevuturu and Madhavaram. Most of the time, instead of cutting down the entire tree, they just cut the branches so that the tree develops the branches again and the wood is available for more time.
