Wands can be made of thousands of different materials, but, there are only a few that are best appropriate for wand making. Ollivander finds it best to make wands out of the following woods: Birch, Rowan, Ash, Alder, Willow, Hawthorne, Oak, Holly, Hazel, Vine, Ivy, Reed, Elder. There are other woods that can be use but a lot of them are "stubborn" and may "backfire" upon being used. Every wand, in order for it to work, has a core as well. Again there are a number of cores that can be used but Ollivander finds that the following three give the best results: Phoenix tail feathers, Unicorn Hairs, and Dragon heartstrings. My wand is made of 11 1/2 inches, Oak with a phoenix tail feather core.

P.S According to Wizarding regulation a wand may only be between the lengths of 7 to 14 inches.

I'm not sure exactly what wands you're talking about, but the ones you buy don't. The wands there are made of sturdy plastic and come in an adorable holding case. You can get Harry, Ron, Hermione, Voldemort, Ginny, Neville, and I'm almost certain Draco's wand.The wands do not have anything in them that can activate things around the park.
