Welcome to Dads Wooden Toys.
I have fun things for both girls and boys.
I believe imagination is good.
That is why every thing here is all wood.
It's natural and nontoxic you see,
the way I think more things should be.
No chemicals paints or dyes
just wood with out any disguise.
My toys are simple yet real.
They don't have a cartoony feel
So come take a look at my wood figure zoo,
then buy some so you can have wood critters too.
Seeking a toy that is sure to please?
Try the shop sections for toy sorting ease.
If your favorite animal is not here
just tell me, and perhaps he'll appear.
I hope you like what you find in my store
make me a favorite and come back for more.
Joshua VanderKlok (Dad)

1 out of 5 starsUnfortunately, all I can say is AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! Have to leave an honest review here, and let others know of my awful experience with this store and its owner. I placed a simple order for two play swords with name engraving. The store promises orders will be shipped within 10 days. It is now months later and the owner never even bothered to make my order, let alone send it. He repeatedly ignored messages from me enquiring about the status of my order. I ended up having to open an Etsy Resolution Centre case. He then sent me one brief message (the only I would ever receive from him) to say he would make and send my order that day. That was a lie. He ignored messages from me, Etsy and PayPal, had to get a refund through PayPal. Update: Seller apologised and agreed to the PayPal refund and has said he will still send order.

5 out of 5 starsFast shipping and great communication!! These were exactly what I needed but was afraid they would not come in time. The owner assured me they would....and they did! I used them as a cake topper and keepsake toy for a birthday cake!

5 out of 5 starsI love the simplicity of these items and that they are so safe for children. These will become part of my manger scene.

3 out of 5 starsI ordered 4 items from this seller: the llama, a rhino, a unicorn and a walnut camel. I would give the animals themselves 3.5 - 4 stars. They are really cute. I just thought the finish work could have been a bit better. (Glue coming out of the tail hole and some burrs around the edges.) But for the price I might be being a bit too picky. I give the shop 2 stars. - My order took forever to ship. Bought 11/24 and shipped 12/16. - My 4 items were shoved into a small flat rate box with no protective wrapping. - The head of the rhino I received had been snapped off and glued back on. (Maker said this was mistakenly shipped.) - Owner was quick to reply to my complaints, apologetic and willing to work out a resolution. (Earned them the 2nd star.)

I thank you again for your business. I apologize again for your experience. I have only had about 3 poor reviews out of hundreds in my 7 years selling here on Etsy. I completely understand why your review was less than glowing. Not only did I make a huge mistake during the Christmas rush which caused me to delay your order but I accidentally shipped you the wrong rhino which was a damaged one that I meant to give to my own kids to color. Having fulfilled over a 1400 orders I have learned that my sturdy toys travel very safely in a flat rate box. But that is no excuse for the delay or mixup. Thank you for honesty in your review. I would be honored if I ever have the chance to show you what a more typical transaction is like. Josh

5 out of 5 starsLoved it! Perfect for small hands. My granddaughter liked it better than the vtech one because she likes to do the talking.

5 out of 5 starsThe girls are having so much fun! It's such a well made set and I am sure it will be a great addition to our advent traditions. My girls were searching out baby Jesus the minute I opened the box! ❤️ You can just feel the love that was poured into the making of the pieces. Thank you Joshua!

4 out of 5 starsThis a wonderfully simple Nativity set perfect for my young granddaughters. It replaces a beautiful priceless set painted by my mother that has become too big and heavy for me. It was shipped on time and I am happy with it.

5 out of 5 starsExcellent! Great workmanship - feels solid, smooth edges, nice wood. Perfect for a household where small children will be handling these pieces. To top it off, the set was delivered less than a week after it was ordered.

I am single with 4 wonderful kids On them I am not taking bids I have an 10 yr old, 5 year old and 8 yr old twins each of them special no one of them wins. The toys every where made noise and light but I think the kids not the toys should be bright.
