All items for sale in my shop are genuinely hand made by myself in my Chelmsford workshop. Shapes are cut using a scroll saw (fretsaw) or bandsaw, and individually sanded, to ensure a really high standard of finish which is a delight to handle. I do not use (or possess) a laser cutting machine, so my products have no burnt edges, which are a marring feature of so many mass produced wooden items these days.
All toys are UKCA / CE certified and guaranteed safe for play by the age group mentioned. Where they are considered unsafe for a particular age group, eg, where there are small parts which might present a choking hazard, or long cords, as on pull-along toys and cot mobiles, such things are noted in the item's description, with suitable advice to parents and guardians to ensure safe play.
Unlike the all-singing, all-dancing manufactured toys in the high street, my traditional toys have no batteries, no flashing lights, no blaring sirens or music - in fact nothing at all to wear down the nerves and patience of parents and grand parents! They are simply an encouragement to young children to develop their motor skills, co-ordination, imagination, and delight in the look and feel of a totally natural product. In short, they are made with pleasure to give pleasure!
