Leading the Renaissance in Quality Wood Toys
Utilizing modern manufacturing techniques and innovative designs, Country Toys has engineered a process for building quality; hand-finished wooden toys intended to last for generations to come. Country Toys goes to great lengths to incorporate physical movement into each toy. These magnificent toys engage children's imagination and maintain their attention. The primary material used is soft ponderosa pine, which is sanded to a smooth finish. The new demand for wooden toys is natural.Wood has so many advantages over plastic. Plastic toys are expensive, soon broken or abandoned, and poorly constructed. Plastic also contains a possible heath risk. In numerous studies of wood versus plastic, scientists have demonstrated that plastic retains and helps spread germs. Wood, on the other hand, almost totally eliminates the transfer of germs. Wood naturally draws bacteria below the surface and kills it. Limitless Creativity, Uncompromising QualityCountry Toys is passionate about quality and creativity. New toys and gifts are constantly coming off our drawing board. Dennis Nixon, product designer for Country Toys, says, "We started our business when we kept seeing the piles of plastic toys at birthdays and Christmas gatherings. These toys were expensive and cheaply built. We found that these toys were not conducive to children using their imaginations and the plastic toys were soon tossed aside. We wanted our children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews to have toys that would last a lifetime and be kept for memories. Our love for children is what inspires us." It's a family business built on love of children - Dennis Nixon is in charge of design and research for all the different products. Maureen Nixon, President and CEO of Country Toys, assures that quality and safety of the toys comes first. Matt Nixon oversees the cutting of the parts, sanding and assembly of the toys and gifts.
