Our mission is "Giving a Lifetime of Pleasure", and we strive to ensure our customers and those who play with our products do indeed enjoy them for a lifetime.

Puzzles demand a level of thought, focus, and patience that is bound to challenge the mind.  As we join puzzle pieces together, or find the cruicial piece (you know that lovely feeling!), our brains release dopamine, which positively affects our mood, memory, and motivation.  

BALANCING ANIMALS is our specialty But we also do;
Wooden Tray Puzzle, Wooden Stand up Jigsaw Animals
Animal Banks (Money Boxes)
Wooden Burr Puzzles
Mathematical Games and Puzzles
IQ Puzzles
TANTRIX award winning puzzles and games

We employ a number of staff most of whom have been with us for several years. Learning to make our products, especially the Balancing Animals takes years to master and takes dedication, skill and patience. All Balancing Animals are hand cut on specialist machinery. This skill has to be learned over the years, by first making our other products and then once skilled enough, advancing to cut Balancing Animals.  Making these requires close attention to detail, and steady hand and great coordination.
