I’m always on the look out for vintage and second hand toys for Edward. I really love wooden toys and would prefer him to have quality vintage items to the mountains of plastic toys and games that we actually have.
I was really excited to come across this vintage wooden toy scales. It needed a little tlc but after a quick sand, varnish and lick of paint it looks as good as new. I haven’t been brave enough to let Edward play with it yet as I know the wooden weights will soon disappear!
Oh what a lovely toy. You’re so right, wooden are much nicer.
Great educational toy too. you’ve done a lovely job doing it up. x
Thanks for linking.
Lovely find x
That’s lovely, only problem I find with wooden toys is that they hurt so much more when dropped accidentally on one (or lobbed across the room by the little darlings!)
Wow! Where did you find those? I love those! I hate all the plastic toys that are out there for kids these days! If only there were more of these!
Love them! Never seen anything like that before. Well Done!
that is lovely and will last so much longer than a plastic one 🙂
I have never seen one of these and love it. Well done you and yes wood is so much lovelier than plastic.
My finds are at http://gigglingatitall.blogspot.com
Quite agree re wooden toys – I much preferred them for my son when he was little. And they’re all in the loft now, in case I ever have any grandchildren (won’t be for a while as Will is still only 11!) x
That is gorgeous x
Really lovely toy, so nice to find something in wood and good quality like that. I hope he enjoys it when he plays with it.
Gorgeous. I’m with you all the way on the wooden toys. We once found the most amazing wooden fire engine and firemen still in the box for £10 at a boot sale. It was immaculate and still sells in shops for about £50 plus the cost of the firemen.
Wooden toys are so much more tactile. xx
That’s such a wonderful find.
That is gorgeous, we have a lovely wooden oven here for my daughter if you can’t bear to play with them we could help you out lol
Wow that is fab, what a great find. I’m sure Edward will love it x
What a fantastic toy. Beautiful and educational.
I too had this idea that my children would only have wooden toys but the plastic won eventually!
I have a set of antique wooden scales with little wooden weights, very similar to the one shown in the photograph. Are you looking to buy items?
Thanks
