Etsy Gift Guide: 10 Handmade Wooden Toys Your Kids Will Love
Wooden toys are making a major comeback, and it's not hard to see why. They make an attractive addition to any playroom or nursery, they encourage open-ended imaginative play, and they're nearly indestructible!
Plus, of course, there's no batteries to replace in wooden toys. And they don't make annoying sounds that become downright terrifying when the cat somehow activates a toy in the middle of the night. Ask me how I know about that one...
Handmade Wooden Toys from Etsy
The huge selection on Etsy also makes it easy to buy handmade wooden toys, from around the world even. There's a little bit of everything there, from Montessori- and Waldorf-inspired toys to baby gyms to personalized puzzles.
I was actually a little overwhelmed by all of the options and niches, but I managed to round up ten of my overall favorite finds. They would make such lovely baby shower, holiday, or birthday gifts!
1. // RAINBOW STACKER // This eye-catching set comes from the Moscow, Russia-based @MyBigLittleDreams. There are a few color options, including a pastel version and unfinished wood, but the classic bright rainbow is my favorite.
2. // WOODEN TOY CAMERA // Each item is designed, handcrafted, and packaged in the Indianapolis, Indiana workshop of @FactAndFictionToys. I like the realistic details of a movable lens and option for a leather strap.
3. // WOODEN TOOL SET // I think every kid should have a toy tool set, and this set from the aptly-named @LittleSaplingToys from Orem, Utah would be perfect. A tool box can also be added for an additional cost. And a tree is planted for every purchase made -- how cool is that?
4. // STATE WOODEN BABY RATTLE TEETHER // @BannorToys from Madrid, Iowa boasts a pretty impressive selection, but I was especially drawn to the line of rattles shaped like states. They offer a bunch of personalization options for the rattles and make for some adorable photo ops!
5. // WOODLAND ANIMAL LACING CARDS // A great way to practice fine motor skills, these lacing cards can be purchased separately or in a set. By @TimberWolfConcepts (Englewood, Florida).
More Handmade Wooden Toys
6. // RAINBOW HIDE AND SEEK NEIGHBORHOOD PLAYSET // This set comes from @MamaMayI, a shop out of Philadelphia that makes eco-friendly wooden toys inspired by Montessori and Waldorf teaching methodologies.
7. // PERSONALIZED WOODEN PUZZLES // These puzzles are so sweet with the mama and her baby, and they'd make a lovely baby shower gift. From @littlewoodentoys out of Chanhassen, Minnesota.
8. // ENGRAVED FARM HOUSE SET // Farms are such a timeless toy -- I don't know a single kid who doesn't like to play with farm animals! This wooden farm house set can be engraved with the child's name and it acts as a carrying case that fits all of the included pieces inside. Made in the United Kingdom by @DarklingDesigns10.
9. // BABY ACTIVITY GYM // These baby gyms from @CloverandBirch are incredible. Such a beautiful, modern design -- and the gyms fold flat for easy under-bed storage. Made in Atlanta, Georgia.
10. // FOREST ANIMALS WOODEN SET // Another piece crafted in Moscow, Russia, this detailed play set contains a variety of forest animals and trees. From @WoodenCaterpillar.

How to Build a Fold-Away Changing Table
Measure the holes between each stud. The maximum depth for on-wall storage is about 3", so begin by using a table saw to rip down 1/4" plywood to 3" for the sides of the boxes.
Cut the ripped plywood to length according to your measurements. Cut everything from 1/4" birch plywood with the exception of the shelves, which were 1/2" (Image 1).
Using glue and a pneumatic staple gun, build two boxes with shelves.
Connect the boxes with a center trim strip of plywood (Image 2). This will also bridge the stud in between the holes and be the primary attachment point.
Fill the nail holes with wood putty. Sand and paint the wall insert.
The changing table box will have four sides and a plywood and metal bottom. The frame dimensions will match those used for cutouts in the wall. So, if the hole you cut in the wall is 14" tall, cut the frame to 14".
Cut 1"x6" pine to length on the chop saw. For finished corners, cut the ends at 45 degrees. You should have two long and two short pieces.
Using a table saw, set the blade height at a 1/4". Rip a 1/4" dado 1/2" from the bottom, along the length of the box pieces. (The guard on the table saw must be removed to make the cut. Be sure to replace the guard prior to using the saw again.) This dado is for the base of the box to slide into.
Glue and nail three sides of the box together, one long piece and two short. Make sure the dado grooves line up and that the corners join properly.
Cut a piece of sheet metal about 1/4" larger on all sides than the inside dimension of the box. Cut a piece of 1/8" plywood to match. Glue the metal and plywood together and slide the two into the dado with the metal facing up.
Place the last side of the box on and nail. Lay the box flat and use a router with a 1/4" roundover bit, to router the inside and outside edges of the box.
Use the assembled box to determine the dimensions for the frame. There needs to be 1/4" between the box and the frame on all sides so there won't be friction when the table is folded down.
Cut the 1"x4" and 1"x2" to length on the chop saw. Again, use 45 degree miter cuts for these.
Lay the 1"x4" down on the flat side and assemble it with glue and nails.
Turn the 1"x2" on the short edge so it stands up and assemble it with glue and nails.
With the two frames assembled, now connect them. Lay the 1"x2" frame on the table and set the other frame on top, so that the inside edges align. Glue and nail the two together. Sand, prime and paint the frame and the box.
Dry Erase Panel
Measure the bottom of the folded up box. Cut masonite dry-erase panel to size using a circular saw.
Attach vinyl trim to the edge of the board with super glue.
Flip the panel over and use the super glue to stick magnets to the back.
Cork Board Panel
Cut masonite to size and use it as a template to trim the cork panels.
With a utility knife and straight edge, cut the cork.
Spray contact adhesive on the back of the cork and the masonite panel.
When the glue is tacky to the touch, set the panels in place.
Flip the panel over and use the super glue to stick magnets to the back.
