Exploring Wooden Toys the Fair Trade way
I have always loved wooden toys and there are a number of reasons why. Firstly, they are made from natural materials giving them a beauty unsurpassed by any other kind of toy. Having been manufactured from a malleable material such as wood, toys are always beautifully made. In modern day such toys are mass produced but in yesteryear, these would have been made more primitively or crudely by skilled craftsmen.
Secondly, some toys are left in their natural wood state resplendent in their organic beauty of warm wooden tons. Not only are they wonderful to look at but they also have a grainy texture giving a natural feel not found in any other materials. Other toys are painted in bright shiny primary colours that cannot fail to have a great visual impact on a child.
Thirdly, I have a certain satisfaction about a wooden toy in knowing it will pretty much withstand the rough and tumble function it needs to ensure. The solid properties of wood give it an inherent robustness unmatched by the plastic alternative for durability and longevity.
Having outlined why I love wooden toys I have discovered there is an exciting range of fair trade toys made from sustainable wood in countries such as Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India. Because these products are produced within the controlled framework of fair trade co-operatives, it means they have been produced ethically. By this, it means that no-one has been exploited where a fair wage and working conditions have been applied throughout the whole production process.
The range of fair trade toys is broad with some being fundamental in helping a child to learn about spelling words, colours, shapes, counting, letters or numbers.
A good example is the wooden ark with sets of brightly painted animals, from zebras, elephants and tigers to alligators, lions and monkeys perfect for helping children to recognise and name objects they may not necessarily see unless they visited a zoo.
For boys, there are various play-scenes with castles, complete with wooden soldiers, horses, and drawbridges to help stimulate a child's imagination. There are also sturdy wooden trains and building blocks in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes. For girls there is a wide choice of pretty scenes based on themes such as fairies, butterflies, ponies and mermaids.
Other good examples of wooden toys with a more educational objective are the jigsaws that have brightly coloured numbers or letters painted sequentially across them. The objective for this kind of toy is to encourage and help a child to learn about counting or the sequence of the alphabet. These kinds of jigsaws come in a variety of designs including elephants, dinosaurs, crocodiles and trains. They are normally brightly painted to make them eye catching and visually stimulating.
Although not really a toy, there is an interesting selection of fair trade money boxes handmade from wood and then painted to depict animals such as zebras, cats and giraffes. I have also seen a mouse made from a hollowed out coconut shell with wooden ears and a string tail. They really are quite original and would make a perfect gift for either a child or an animal lover.
So, as this article has shown, wooden toys can be robust as well as beautiful, colourful and ethically produced. If we buy fair trade toys we are supporting the fair trade movement by creating a demand that such co-operatives need in order to support and build their communities.

How do you remove paint from a wooden Fireplace ?
The Fireplace I have is wooden and before we painted it, it was wood stained but we decided to paint it to see what would happen. We painted it white and we hated it so we used paint thinner to get it off and None of it came off, I really mean none of it! Any advice on how to get it off ?
Try a paint stripper.
These can usually be found at hardware stores.
They can emit strong odors and you may need to open your windows (make sure you follow the instructions).
Sometimes adding a bit of heat can help too.
You may then also need to use some sand paper to remove the last stubborn bits.
Note that it has been my experience that the new "green" chemicals don't do nearly as good of a job as the old fashioned evil chemicals.
