Wonderful Wooden Toys - The Cyril Hobbins Collection

Large or small, complicated or simple, colourful or plain, toys made from wood have been popular with children of all ages since ancient times.

These toys are a small selection of the many objects collected by local toy maker Cyril Hobbins. Cyril’s collection grew from a great interest in, and love of, wooden toys. He was also concerned that with the growth of plastic and electronic toys, the humble wooden toy might vanish altogether.
