Anything wood on the toys is handmade in Van Ermen’s work spaces at his Green Bay home. I try to use all hardwoods Van Ermen says. I have oak, maple, purple heart, yellow heart, some zebra wood, walnut, some teak. He picks woods for colors, placing what looks best on an area of the toy and applying a clear coating.

The Little Wooden Toy Shop is a home-based business, which was started to offer wholesome and simple alternatives in promoting healthy, educational play among our children and within our families. All of the products we sell are made from 100% natural materials, including wood, cotton, wool and silk.  A great percentage of the wood used to make many of these toys is harvested directly from the areas where the toys are made.  Where possible, fabrics are organic and 100% washable. All finishes and dyes are 100% non-toxic and safe for our children and our animals. A concerted effort has been made to purchase all of our toys and playthings from small family-run businesses and environmentally conscious farmers and homesteaders throughout the United States and Canada.  All of these products have been lovingly handmade by talented crafts people and tradesmen schooled in the art of old-fashioned toy making.
