When it comes to storage space, you can never have enough of it. Especially not in the children's room, where building blocks dig painfully into the soles of feet, the cuddly toy becomes a tripping hazard and the paints threaten to decorate the carpet rather than the sheet of paper. Tidying up here makes it much easier to work together and at the same time creates space for new creativity. But in the playful frenzy of the moment, it often falls by the wayside - or "forgotten", as it seems like a chore to the child. Opportunity for educational trick 17: incorporating tidying up into play. This toy trolley made of solid alder wood proves its worth in both freestyle and duty. As robust functional furniture - it is no coincidence that its design is based on the almost indestructible goods trolleys - it keeps unused toys out of the way. At the same time, it offers itself as an enduring piece of play equipment. It rolls around easily on its rubber-tyred wheels and can be quickly mobilized to provide shelter for building blocks, cuddly toys and the like. When the contents need to be released back into the wild, the unlockable loading flap gives children easy access. And pushed by one of the two handles, the teddy bear and dangling doll can even set off on a comfortable ride through the home. You will notice how durable the handcrafted, pleasantly minimalist toy trolley is at the latest when your children have long outgrown their playing age, but continue to use the trolley to store knitting wool, computer accessories or other everyday utensils within easy reach.

A small family joinery based in Chiemgau produces big things. Not big in the sense of huge and enormous, but big in our sense: wooden toys that are skillfully crafted from high-quality materials and designed for long-lasting playtime fun. The workshop attaches great importance to a child-friendly, purist design that leaves room for the imagination to unfold freely, and to a manufacturing process that consistently follows its own high criteria - artificial, colorful, flashy effects are no longer necessary.

The preferred material for her designs is black alder wood. It is not only in the toy sector that black alder is experiencing a renaissance. Its finely structured, elastic and stable wood with its even surface is also popular in model, furniture and instrument making. Alder is also one of the woods with the highest water resistance (a large part of Venice's pile foundations, which still exist today, are said to have been built on alder piles).

The family-run workshop works exclusively with high-quality black alder wood. It makes sure that the wood has been well dried and stored (to prevent tensile stresses and stress cracks) and can therefore be sawn, turned and sanded smooth very well. Finally, the wood surface is treated with linseed oil or beeswax without any harmful substances. In this way, the natural structure of the wood remains visible and the natural warmth of the color and feel is pleasantly emphasized.
