Animal Pull Train

“Each year we go overboard and fabricate an art toy that emphasizes aesthetic form as much as play value. This year’s nomination features two hardwood wagons that hold 4 beautifully handcrafted, abstract animals-giraffe, horse, elephant and hippo, or whatever whimsical animal a child’s imagination believes them to be. A learning toy as well, because discrimination is required for correct placement into holes in both wagon bases.”
