Little Woodlanders' TALK Little Woodlanders - Handmade, Natural Wooden Toys

[Iverson]

Hello, my name is Rachel, homeschooling mum to 2 girls ages 2 and 5. I started making wooden toys for my children shortly after I discovered the Waldorf ideas about play. I love the idea of open-ended toys, made of beautiful, natural materials, that allow children to use their imagination.

I use hardwoods and non toxic watercolours, because I like to see the natural grain of the wood showing through!

My inspiration mostly comes from my children. I watch what they like to play with and talk about, and often get ideas from them that way. I also get ideas from going outside or looking out the window at nature.

Here are a couple of my creations!

Balancing Bees and Tulip


Life Cycle of a Butterfly


Marmite, Toast and Knife Set

Hi Rachel

I only just joined WAHM Wonders too.

I had a look through your Gallery and I love your creations. Woodwork feels very special to me as my mum also created things like baby seesaws etc.

Wishing you lots of success,

Marlena
