Average Customer Ratings:
The difference between a good toy and a great one is the ability to entertain โ and instruct โ a child at the same time. The author, a woodworker with a graduate degree in Curriculum and Instructional Materials, combines his skills to show parents which toys are most effective for early childhood education, and then he gives them all the information they need to build those toys themselves. Nine fun projects โ from Pattern Blocks and Dominos to a Puzzle Train โ will get little ones learning โ without them even realizing it! Over 200 color photos and drawings are included.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great first wood toy book -
If you have never made a wooden toy, this is the book for you. The projects are intrinsically simple and require only modest woodworking skills, but the book provides great enhancements on each theme. As the title suggests, these are toys that provide a young toddler both physical as well as mental play for years to come. My grandson (and his father!) love to play with these toys! The book is well-written, highly illustrated, easy to follow, and worth the price. I just bought a second copy for a friend--recently a new grandfather.

A Fantastic Resource! -
So far, "grandpa" has made two toys from this book, with more to come. The square stacking rings are fantastic, as is the shape sorting box with the hinged lid.
We are absolutely thrilled with the book and the toys it makes. Our goal as a family is to provide as many "real" toys as possible, and to minimize the use of the electronic pseudo-educational garbage that is often available.
Great Instructional Book - 
This Book is a great guide to making children's toys. The toys are simple and elegant. Great illustrations and directions.
Quality and Fun -
Neufeld presents a set of children's toys of extremely high quality that are fun to build. And, my grandkids play with them for hours. I believe the book describes how to make heirlooms. I highly recommend this for any woodworker.

Indo Bali Gazebo - Supplying Indonesia domestic market with Bali traditional gazebo, modern garden and poolside gazebos, and custom design wooden houses.
Well Thought Out Projects -
An excellent book with projects that are above the elementary level. Toys that provide continual challenge as the child develops. I have built the block set, a long-time favorite of my grandchildren despite their many "modern" electronic toys, and the train.
Caution: Be sure to double-check the dimensional drawings. There are several errors in the train drawings.
