1. The Birth of an Idea

Every toy starts with an idea. It can come from a child’s imagination, a designer’s creativity, or even a popular story or movie. Toy creators brainstorm and sketch their visions, considering factors like play value, safety, and target age group. At Weihai Wooden Toys and Crafts, we take inspiration from classic play concepts while integrating modern, eco-friendly designs.

2. Designing the Toy

Once the idea is finalized, professional toy designers create digital or hand-drawn sketches. 3D modeling software is often used to refine the design, ensuring the toy’s proportions, functionality, and safety aspects are perfect. For wooden toys, material selection is crucial. Our factory uses high-quality wood to ensure durability. We use sustainable wood certified by FSC to maintain environmental responsibility.

3. Prototype Development

A prototype is the first physical version of a toy. It allows designers to test functionality, durability, and safety. At our factory, we craft wooden prototypes. We ensure they meet international toy safety standards like EN71 (Europe) and ASTM (USA). Adjustments are made before mass production begins to guarantee the best quality.

4. Manufacturing Process

Once the prototype is approved, production begins. At Weihai Wooden Toys and Crafts, our process includes:

  • Wood Selection & Cutting: We use FSC-certified wood, carefully shaped to match the design.
  • Sanding & Polishing: Each piece is sanded to a smooth finish, ensuring safety for children.
  • Painting & Finishing: Non-toxic, child-safe paints are applied to add color and character.
  • Assembly & Packaging: The final product is assembled, tested for quality, and packed for shipment.

5. Toy Safety and Quality Control

Safety is a top priority in the toy industry. Before toys reach the market, they undergo rigorous testing. This ensures they are free from harmful substances. They also have no sharp edges and meet global safety standards. At our factory, every toy is inspected to guarantee it meets the highest quality requirements.

6. Bringing Toys to Market

Once toys pass all quality checks, they are ready for distribution. They are shipped to toy stores, online retailers, and even directly to customers. Weihai Wooden Toys and Crafts offers global shipping, ensuring our beautifully crafted wooden toys reach children worldwide, including the UK.

7. Bringing Toys to Life: The Power of Imagination

Beyond production, toys become truly real when they spark a child’s imagination. A wooden dollhouse can capture a child’s interest. A handcrafted maze can stimulate creativity. A dragon figurine from How to Train Your Dragon can become part of a fantastical world. The magic happens when kids bring toys to life through play.
