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, Chiemgau-based family carpenter's workshop produces big things. Not big in the sense of huge and enormous, but big in our sense of the word: wooden toys that are skillfully crafted from high-quality materials and designed with long-lasting playfulness in mind. The workshop attaches the greatest importance to a child-friendly, purist design that leaves room for the imagination to run wild, and a manufacturing process that consistently follows ecological criteria - artificially colorful pop effects are no longer necessary.

The preferred material for their designs is black alder wood. Black alder is experiencing a renaissance, and not only in the toy sector. Its finely textured, elastic and load-bearing wood, with its even surface, is also popular in model, furniture and instrument making. In addition, alder is one of the woods with the highest water resistance (for example, it is said that a large part of Venice's pile foundations, which still exist today, were built on alder piles).

The family-run workshop processes only 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, free of harmful substances. In this way, the natural structure of the wood remains visible and the natural warmth of color tone and feel is pleasantly emphasized.
