(05) prettydreamer
Working purely with natural materials, prettydreamer is a Keene, NH designer and maker of home and play items — to gain a tactile connection with Mother Earth —.
Their children’s push toys carry a traditional folk aesthetic — in animal shapes like cows, horses, roosters, rabbits, and reindeer — and other whimsical playthings like a woodcutter’s toy axe. For baby, prettydreamer crafts gentle wooden rattles and teething rings with simple animal charms — like fish, robins, and chicks.

More familiar — they offer chunky oak car and truck toy sets — with poplar wood bodies and maple wheels — shaped just right for toddler hands.
