Erin Freuchtel-Dearing is a stay-at-home mum whose concerns about the low level of play and imagination in many commercial toys led her to start making wooden toys from scratch. She began selling creative, colourful, child-safe toys on Etsy.com and was selected from over 2,000 applicants to become a part of Etsy's 25-member Second Community Council. Erin's work has been featured prominently in American publications such as the Philadelphia Inquirer and Parents magazine.
This is a really fun book that you will love. Seventy-five great toys ready to be made for you or for someone else's kids. The toys are real simple to make with a scroll saw or even a fret saw and are finished with natural colors. Paprika will provide a beautiful orange shade, blueberries a flavorful purple. Specialty artist shops can provide you with brilliant non-toxic finishes as well. The toys are very basic but just as enjoyable for toddlers as those high tech toys to play with. And, full patterns are provided by the author; she provides recipes for the colors as well.
