Cubbyhole Toys

Personalized stools and puzzles to grow with

 

Cubbyhole Toys specializes in safe, personalized, durable toys for your children to enjoy for years to come.  Our personalized wood toys, puzzles, coat racks are all carefully hand-crafted with each child in mind so they can stand up to rough play-time while capturing the imagination with bright, beautiful colors
 
We are a family owned and operated business that has enjoyed making wood toys for children for over 25 years. After a water skiing accident Steve needed something to fill some time so he started making wooden toys in the basement for our son who was 1 year old at the time . I was doing some local arts and craft shows so I started taking some of the toys with me to sell. They were a hit so we started doing more and adding some larger craft shows to the list, so we moved from the basement to the garage.  Within a few years we were making a full line of wooden cars and trucks and planes, along with some animal jig saw puzzles.
 
We traveled a 5 state area doing arts and craft shows on weekends and moved out of the garage and  opened a gift shop in town upstairs from our work shop.
 
With both of us working full time jobs during the week and doing craft shows on the weekends it was hard to find time to make the items to sell.  That was when we decided to go full time into the wooden toys business,  as years went on the wooden cars and trucks and puzzles faded out and the personalized stools and name puzzles took over.
 
We have enjoyed the changing trends in the "name" game over the years. That's what nice about having your very own custom made stool, or puzzle or coat rack.  It is your name and yours to keep for many years. We have been making our items long enough now that we get calls for orders from parents who had a personalized stool when they were kids and now what one for their child.
 
Each toy is carved from  wood with a finish perfect for little hands and then colorfully painted with each child’s name and favorite symbols.  Custom wood toys are a classic staple of playtime each child cherishes as their very own special spot. Along with a great toy the stools and name puzzles are a learning tool too, by teaching color recognition and eye hand coordination not to mention learning to spell their name.
 
Each puzzle,and stool is cut and painted by hand, so they are truly one-of-a-kind.  Children love the bright colors and individual ownership of customized toys and parents love knowing their children are safe with superior craftsmanship and completely non-toxic paint and sealers.  We take great pride on providing you with a safe and durable product to last you for many, many years.
