Wood You Like
toys are suitable for children of all ages from 3 to 93.
They range from very simple 3-piece jigsaws of animals
to very complex many-layered puzzles which gradually unfold to reveal
well-known nursery rhymes and fairytales.

3 piece Elephant |
All our toys are hand-made, so no two are ever exactly the same.
We use toy-tested paints, stains and lacquers so you know the toys are safe.
Generally, the fewer the pieces, the easier the puzzle. So for the 3-year old,
pick a three or four piece puzzle - after that, it's each kid for her or himself.

14 Piece Parrot |
Since all our toys are individually made - cut, sanded, stained and finished all by hand -
the colours and shapes will vary from toy to toy. We use bright, primary colours in various
rotations. So the yellow-headed parrot today may be green-headed tomorrow. Poor Darwin would
have been confused. And no, please do not expect us to supply any particular variety of shades.
Think of it as a surprise - for all of us!

5 piece Pile of Pigs |
All the single-layered puzzles (all so far) are made of solid beech or ash.
The layered puzzles (which are NOT suitable for the younger children) are made of
birch ply in order to form thin layers one on top of the other. All the layered
puzzles tell a story - like "Little Red Riding Hood" or a nursery rhyme like
"Hey Diddle Diddle".

6 Piece Dino |
OK - This way to see the layered toys.
