Welcome to Hardwood Toys, where I have been handcrafting wooden toys for children of all ages for over twenty years. The interactive eight car wooden train shown above is my top seller. You can purchase each train car separately. I do not use construction grade lumber in my toys and then cover it with paint or varnish.
All my toys are hand crafted from premium kiln dried hardwoods grown in North America--Cherry, Maple, Oak, Birch and Walnut-- and finished with fine sanding. Why? So there are no paint chips or stains that might end up in a child's mouth. And because finely sanded hardwood is beautiful and smooth as glass.Every toy is handcrafted by me, Tom Merrin, in my workshop in Arroyo Grande, California. I'm a second generation toy maker. Perhaps your parents or grandparents bought toys from my parents.
