Win a Wooden Building Set Made in the USA by Roy Toy

Roy Toy wooden building sets

Roy Toy wooden building sets are a real classic. Still made from real wood, stained with non-toxic dyes, still hand-cut, and still made in the USA by Roy K. Dennison’s family. Bruce Dennison has recreated his grandfather’s manufacturing process, which originated in 1930–why mess with perfection?

Roy Toy wooden building setsWhen I opened up the Original Log Cabin Set, the first impression was the pleasant odor of pine, making the toys a real sensory experience. Each of the smooth pieces fit tightly together for a sturdier structure. The old-fashioned look is achieved honestly: these toys are made the same way they were over 70 years ago. The child can follow the building instructions or create a unique design.

Kids will just notice that the building sets are fun to play with, but parents will appreciate that they are entirely made from wood and non-toxic dyes.

Toys should be sparks to light the imagination. Simple, low-tech, and safe toys provide hours of enjoyment and promote learning. Roy Toy wooden building sets encourage creativity and give children a genuine pride of accomplishment.

Buy Roy Toy Wooden Building Sets

Roy Toy sets are available directly from Roy Toy and at many fine retailers, such as Craftsbury Kids.
