The days of going to the Milk Bar and asking for a bag of mixed lollies for only $1 will always be ingrained in our minds!  "I'll have 2 chocolate freckles please, 3 gummy bears, 2 musk sticks and don't forget my lollypop!" We never had pre-mixed bags of lollies; we always created our own mix of sweets no matter how long it took. We loved the feeling of the white paper bags in our hands and the delicious treats that were waiting inside to try. Those were the days...

We know that we sell wooden toys but not many people know why we have such a passion for designing and making them... 

Wooden toys in our view are simply the best and the only toys that have lasted the distance in our toy cupboard. Over the years, it has been the plastic stuff that ended up in the Charity drop off while the wood toys got passed down from child to child. We even keep the wooden toys in the attic for our children to pass down to their children one day.
