Heartwarming Handcrafted Toys for Kids

If you’re searching for beautifully made, eco-friendly toys that spark imagination and support independent artisans, you’ll find them at The Handmade Showroom—our curated gift gallery of artful treasures located in the Pacific Place Shopping Center in Downtown Seattle. 

Some of our most popular items include toys made by artists from across the U.S., giving families meaningful alternatives to mass-produced and impersonal playthings.

Below, explore a small selection of our many handcrafted gift ideas, including wooden toys, plush toys, and baby-safe essentials, all lovingly made with quality materials.

 

Handcrafted Wooden Toys

Handcrafted wooden toys have a timeless charm, and they’re built to last through years of play. At The Handmade Showroom, we carry many artists committed to eco-friendly craftsmanship, such as Baldwin Toy Company, whose pieces are hand-finished with non-toxic mineral oil and made entirely without paints, stains, nails, or screws. Their two-piece natural wood car and ramp set is a perfect example—smooth, tactile, and sized just right for little hands to explore motion and cause-and-effect.

Another standout is The Serious Toy Company, whose movable red oak velociraptor is carved from solid wood and finished with food-grade tung oil. Its articulated body invites imaginative dinosaur adventures while showcasing the warmth and texture of natural materials. 

We carry seven different dinosaurs, all with magnetically-articulating joints so your kiddo can mix and match to make their own unique dinosaur come to life!

We also feature Uncle Goose, known for sustainable Midwestern basswood blocks that engage tactile learning and encourage creativity. Their Forest Tales Story Blocks let kids build their own whimsical woodland stories, blending literacy play with nature-inspired illustrations.

Handcrafted Plush Toys

Our plush toys are made by independent makers who prioritize soft textures, durable construction, with many favoring eco-friendly materials in their production.

The Seattle-themed plush salmon (featured in the Seattle Times gift guide) brings a little bit of the Pacific Northwest home and makes a charming keepsake for visitors and locals alike.

For something delightfully quirky, our felted bee plush adds a burst of sunshine to any toy collection. It's lightweight, fuzzy, and full of personality.

Baby Toys

Parents and gift-givers seeking safer, eco-friendly baby toys will love our thoughtfully curated selection. The Bird & Elephant crafts beautifully soft snuggle blankets made from 100% organic cotton, such as this floral-eared bunny lovey—a comforting plush companion that doubles as a blanket little ones can hold onto at nap time or on the go.
