Natural Wooden Toys

[sqrlalrt]

I bought the new book, Natural Wooden Toys, and started to cut the sea creatures. I designed a shelf to put them on. Now I know kids like colorful things so I will probably paint these but...I really like them unfinished. Opinions anyone?

I like the shelf and the figures are good as well. Painting them is totally up to you.

Nice collection. Remember you can NOT paint them if you plan to sell them. Thank Walmart for that.

Well,
Scott's statement is not entirely true. The proposed law change has been placed on a back burner until next year due to public outcry. If you are painting your items use American made paints such as a craft acrylic as they do not contain any lead.

If it's the wood grain you want to keep, you could stain them

You could also use Rit Dye, thus keeping the wood grain and getting some color too.

I make and sell wooden toys. I put no stain or finish on them. Adults like that and they are the ones making the purchase.
