Our selection of safe and natural toys includes many items exclusive to The Wooden Wagon.

For Christmas and other celebrations, we offer decorations from Germany's Erzgebirge region, especially from the toymaking village of Seiffen. We have German Christmas candle pyramids and windmills by the Flath, Hiemann, Gunther and Mueller workshops, and nutcrackers from the Fuechtner family workshop, where the first nutcracker king was carved 125 years ago. Our wooden ornaments, smoking men, and nativity scenes are all made by hand in small Erzgebirge workshops, many of which have been crafting such folk art for one hundred years or more. The folk-art sensibility is represented in our traditional folk art toys selection, where many fine examples of Reifendrehen (or ring-turned) woodcarving abound: the Noah's Ark animals by Christian Werner are stunning examples of this unique form of woodworking.
