About Extinct Toys

"Extinct Toys" is about old fashioned wooden toys, with a few modern twists thrown in.

Basically it's me, in my garage, making toys for my grandchildren - and sometimes other people like them too.

Please note: I do this as a hobby. My daughter does the majority of the painting for me now,
and we do this in our spare time. We get things done when time permits!

I can't supply large orders and cannot supply to overseas addresses, plus I can not accept email orders.
Realistically, the only way to catch us is at a local market when I have some leftover toys.

On this page you will find info on markets I can sometimes be found at (dependingon whether or not I have time)
Check my Facebook page for times and places...

----------------------------------------------------------

I am always trying different designs and welcome feedback on the toys, especially ideas for new ones, and ways of improving the old ones.

Toot! Toot!	Scroll knitting	Last Man Standing	Jeep with trailer and driver	Table & Chairs
				Order only

Materials	For materials I use recycled beech and rimu, some pine and any other high quality, old wood I can put to a good use. I have to say a big thank you to my daughter who has taken over the majority of the painting with her excellent artistic skills. All toys use child and food-safe materials for coating: Resene© water based paints and some Dulux© (e.g. spray painted wheels) Rustin's Danish oil, Worktop oil or Cutting Board oil (all products named are sold as child and food safe) (...and in some cases, food colouring!) Glues used include interior and exterior PVA and a small amounts of ADOS where I am joining different materials.

Test driven by...	Our grandchildren + their friends (That's who they are made for, after all!)

Recycled wood sources Please contact me if you can help.	If you have good quality timber you no longer need (e.g. old furniture, beds etc) and I can use the wood, I will happily collect and take it off your hands, providing the wood is useable and is in good condition (e.g. no borer or other insect damage, no mould)
