Some would say that the term "plaything" is old-fashioned. We say, "What's wrong with old-fashioned?" We work hard to turn each item we make into a plaything, something that fosters and enhances play. Not every piece in our catalog is a toy; for instance, you can't play with a shelf. (Well, children can play with anything...) But well-made maple shelves welcome children into a friendly, under-stated environment. They serve as a setting from which a child can select their favorite plaything, and then concentrate on exploring and discovering what it can do.
