I have this sudden fascination with wooden toys. I’ve been looking at several different vehicles, but most require a second mortgage to purchase. Scott said he wouldn’t get them if he won the lottery. I say I do the kid shopping and we would have all of them! I’m especially partial to the Tom Toys dump truck and semi. Coincidently, the two most expensive. Aren’t they beautiful though!

Tom Toys Dump Truck

The Community Playthings Fleet. They look small in this picture huh? Well they aren’t.

When I said big, I meant big. People talk about their public libraries having had these trucks for years. Another lady used a grant to furnish a complete daycare from Community Playthings. When she closed her doors 15 years later, everything looked like they day she bought it.

Guidecraft makes a line of construction vehicles called Cito, also large scale.

This is a book I found on Amazon. Just look. Look at that truck. Even the wheels are wooden. It is beautiful. Oh how I wish I had the tools or the skills to make these.
