Tonight I'm going to spotlight just a few of the toys I have available. Let me state from the outset: this is not a comprehensive listing. Nor is it a full listing of toys in stock. It is a sample of what has already been made and is in stock right now. More stuff will be coming out soon and custom orders are always appreciated and welcome.
The helicopter was one of my first original designs. In fact my 3 & 2 year old boys still play with theirs and it's still in one piece! Solid spruce body with pine rotors and pontoons. The helicopter comes sanded but unstained and unfinished, ready to be coloured, stained, painted and finished exactly how you want it. Decorate it yourself or have me do it as an extra. The pontoons are held on using non-toxic wood glue but otherwise the helicopter is chemical free, so you know it's safe for your children to play with. The helicopter retails at $15 (no tax) and is available as an option for the set price listed below. Finishing and shipping are extra, although delivery to Madoc is free and pick up options (including from the shop) are available. All other shipping is done at cost.

Staying with the vehicle theme, my original set of wheeled vehicles is still available. An ongoing favourite, they bring a sense of nostalgia to parents and fun to kids. Sturdy 1 1'2" pine construction with Baltic birch plywood wheels (pine back wheels on the tractor) means that they won't break easily, and the wheels are secured using non-toxic wood glue so they won't come off easily. No small parts means that there's no choking hazard for small children (I personally have no minimum age recommendation on these toys, but parents/guardians are responsible for what they let their children play with. Just as with the helicopter and the motorcycle, they come unfinished (see helicopter description for more details). Each vehicle is $15 individually or purchase a set of 5 (mix and match) for $60 (a grandparent's favourite) or buy 4 get 1 free. This offer allows you to pick from the vehicles pictured above as well as the helicopter and motorcycle.
Similar to the vehicles above, the motorcycle is a favourite for children of almost any age. The wheels are inset into the body of the motorcycle and are 3/4" thick, allowing it to stand unsupported and letting it remain upright when rolled and released on a flat surface. The wheels will not come out without breaking the axles, which is no easy feat. The motorcycle sells for $15 and is available as an option with the set price listed above.
What child doesn't like dinosaurs? Even little girls stop and look at my dinosaur pull toys and puzzles. Parents think they're cool and boys know they're awesome!
Solid 1 1/2" spruce bodies with 3/4" pine wheels and 1" diameter pulls with stings approximately 24" long make these a great choice of pull toy for kids who are just learning to walk or for children a bit older who are coming to appreciate dinosaurs. Makes a great collectible for the dinosaur fan who has (almost) everything. As with the wooden toys above, these come unfinished, but finishing and staining are available as extras. Retail cost is $15 each or 5 for $60 (interchangeable with other pull toys, but not with the vehicles).
Pull toys are a great classic toy for small children, and my selection has been steadily growing. Pictured above is just a sample, and of course the dinosaurs in the previous section are included as well.
Currently we have in stock the following: Horse, duck, lamb, lion, gorilla, turtle, kitten, puppy, honeybee and dinosaurs, with plans for more soon. As mentioned with the dinosaurs, all pull toys are $15 each or 5 for $60.
Animal puzzles cover possibly the widest age range of all the toys listed tonight. I typically recommend them for ages 3 and up, but certainly some are appropriate for younger children. Older children will enjoy decorating their puzzles and displaying them. Puzzles can also be custom made according to almost any design or made from any picture. They can also be tailored to different ages by adjusting the number and size of the pieces . Current in stock puzzles include: lion, honeybee, triceratops, T-Rex, apatosaurus, gorilla, hippo, horse, kitten, puppy and more. All puzzles are made from 3/4" pine and sell for $10 + shipping (if applicable). Discounts are available when ordering 5 or more of one design. Ask for details when ordering.
More toys are on the way! More cars and trucks, classic style trains, more puzzles, games and more! Keep checking back regularly to see what's new. Like us on facebook or follow us via google+ or an RSS feed to keep up to date on the latest.
Clock sale and $5 discount opportunities end Thursday night at midnight.
