Welcome to Dads Wooden Toys
I have play things for both g;rls and boys
I am glad you decided to stop
I hope that you stay here and shop
I believe imagination is good
that is why every thing here is all wood
Its natural and nontoxic you see
the way I think more things should be
no chemicals paints or dyes
just wood with out any disguise
My toys are simple yet real
they don't have a cartoony feel
The face on my cow and goat
aren't like anything Walt Disney wrote
my s are nature's design
I personally find them quite fine
So come take a look at my wood figure zoo
then buy some so you can have wood critters too.
If your favorite animal is not here
just tell me, and perhaps he'll appear
I hope you like what you find in my store
make me a favorite and come back for more.

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE TOYS:

I am married with 4 wonderful kids
On them I am not taking bids
I have 5 yr old, 4 month old and 3 yr old twins
each of them special no one of them wins
I want the best for them all
and that's how I started rolling this ball
The toys every where made noise and light
but I think the kids not the toys should be bright
So my wife and I were searching to find
toys that were natural and good for their mind
I decided I'ld just make some instead
Now you see where all of that led

Make any animal a Christmas ornament


Make any animal here a christmas ornament. just tell me which ones you want. This would be a great craft for kids to personalize "their animal" with paint or markers. Don't forget to date it so when they are older they can see what great artists they used to be.

There is plenty of time before Christmas (I can usually ship by the next day)

Welcome

Hello, my name is Josh and I am married with 4 children. I began making simple, unfinished wooden animals for my children a couple years ago. There has been interest in our local natural parenting community so I am making my toys available to the public. I am busy with a fulltime job and spending time with my family, so this is very much a hobby I have on the side. As time allows, I will be updating the blog with the different animals I am offering. I am also open to custom orders, but they will cost a bit more since they are more time consuming. Thank you for your interest in my toys!
