Reader Question: Local Toy Makers

I just received this reader question, which is excellent in light of the recent toy recalls:

Do you know, or do your readers know, of any local toy makers?  Ones making the carved wood toys and such?  With all the toy recalls these days, I thought I’d start looking closer to home for quality gifts.

Any recommendations, readers?  Leave them in the comments or email me at allsidesoflife@gmail.com.

    i have banned any more china stuff from my house about six months ago. there is a wooden train maker in missouri that i have bought stuff from to replace all the thomas stuff.
    also, craft fairs are a good place to buy wooden toys.

    Just a thought–Perhaps Handmade in the Evelyn Hills Shopping Center might have some leads. Enigma off the Square and Heartwood Gallery off of 6th Street in Fayetteville might also be possibilities.

Got something to say?
