Wooden Toys and Crafts is a place to take your kids to make wood toy kits in Marlborough, Massachusetts. You can buy the kits to make them at home or make them on site and have the benefit of kid sized tools, tables, and access to paint and brushes to finish off their creations. The kits are pine and the directions are easy to follow. Bob cuts all the kits himself. There is an amazing selection of projects and we've found the prices to be quite reasonable for wood kits. Tables are set up to help children keep track of all their parts, have water for the paint, etc. It is a well designed set up.
These projects were chosen after last year's visit to Collings Foundations Battle for the Field. The boys had learned about camouflage at the event and wanted to recreate the effect on their tanks. Bob was very helpful in showing them how to get the effect they were hoping for giving them suggestions for selecting paint and how to use their brushes to get the effect they wanted.
Lots of local Scout and other groups have events here so if you want to build there it isn't a bad idea to call ahead and find out if there are groups booked for events. We try to get here at least once a year for a wood toy build.
Wooden Toys and Crafts is located in the same building complex as Trombetta Farms at 655 Farm Road in Marlborough, MA. Try Trombetta's homemade ice cream while you are there or take in a game of indoor mini golf. There is no website for the store, but you can checkout the Facebook page
here even if you aren't a member of Facebook.
