Wooden toys

April 6, 2009 by Jen

Last week after we’d climbed the big rocking horse at Gumeracha, we then had a good look around the toy factory. I wish I’d gone there when JJ was a lot younger, although if I had I probably would have spent heaps more money.

We bought a few things – mainly presents for other people but they’re so cute I had to share.

This is a novelty toy where you press the bottom of it and the top bit wobbles around. We bought it for a friend who’s recently found out she’s got breast cancer to hopefully make her smile.

Below is a door stop. I’ve been using a doorstop that was here when I moved in and it always leaves a mark on the linoleum. This is so much more stylish and doesn’t leave a horrible mark that I always have trouble removing. He’s got a wobbly head too and he is very cute. Unfortunately the other doorstop we bought doesn’t work for the door I want to use it for because there’s too much of a gap.

There’s heaps more that you can buy and it’s not all for kids. Check out the Toy Factory where you can shop online.
