8 Fabulous Handmade Toys ...

The art of handmade toys seemed to die out for a while, but more and more I’m seeing market stalls offering beautiful handmade items. I love the thought of kids playing with toys that aren’t from a shop (I have very fond memories of the dolls’ house my dad made for us), so I’ve chosen some lovely handmade toys for you to look at.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I love the fact that Suzy has been named! This cute little toy is made from bright blue wool, and could well be a favourite for years.

Looking for a baby gift? Forget about all that plastic stuff and buy him or her this gorgeous rattle instead. The wings make a sound when shaken, and the rattle is made from natural fabrics.

Wooden Truck and Trailer

Wooden Truck and Trailer Price: $18 at etsy.com
What toddler wouldn’t love pushing this truck around? So much nicer than the plastic alternative, this truck can be finished with beeswax or left unfinished, according to your preference. The seller also makes other vehicles, so you could have a convoy!

Dexter the Weiner Dog

Dexter the Weiner Dog Price: $26 at etsy.com
Or Sausage Dog to us Brits. Anyway, this dog is so cute, I’m sure I would have loved him as a child. Made of bright fabric, any child would love to give Dexter a cuddle.

Crayon Wallet

Crayon Wallet Price: $9 at etsy.com
Kids love to colour, but the crayons do tend to get everywhere. Now you can keep them tidy in this wallet, which even comes with a set of 15 crayons. That should be enough colours to keep the kids happy!

La Grasse Feline

What a cute cat! She’s made from a white fabric on the front, backed with a flower print, and is modelled after the maker’s own cat. I can certainly recognise that content little feline grin!

Little Raptor House

Little Raptor House Price: $42 at etsy.com
Isn’t this sweet? This lovely little wooden house (painted with safe paints, of course) comes complete with bedroom and kitchen furniture. I am wondering where the bathroom is, though …

What kind of toys do you prefer for your kids? Do you think it’s worth paying more for handmade items? Or do you find that there’s no difference pricewise?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

OMG! ALL of these are adorable! I had plenty of handmade toys as a kid. Too bad those days are long gone. When and if I have kids, I think I'm going to incorporate a healthy mix of handmade goodies like these and more advanced toys.

I love all of them, they are so cute. I love my granny made rug dolls also.
