Welcome to Spectra Alley Toys handmade Eco friendly children's toys made right in our home to be loved in yours.We are adding new items soon so please check back often. We love to travel when we can, new places are always exciting(even if it's 20 min away) I am a stay at home mom of a feisty and fun 3yr old boy . Dad works during the day and then comes home to work more making Toys. Somehow he alw
ays has enough time to play Fort , trains and whatever else our little guy can think up. What does Spectra Alley mean, well its pretty simple :) It's an anagram using our son's full name and it seemed just right to us. We are a Mom,Dad and toddler team . Each one of us have a hand in the creations we bring you. Dad is the wood craftsman , Mom is the painter visionary and of course our toddler son is the quality control inspector :)
We started this adventure when we realized that most of our sons battery powered plastic toys were taking all the imagination out of his play. He relied on the noises ,colors provided rather than dream up his own. We knew we had to do something . We started introducing more wooden toys, puzzles ,play silks and more items that require him to use his imagination. We researched some of the principles of Waldorf style play since we share a lot of the views outlined in it. We took this one step further and decided why not make his toys ourselves this way we know exactly what is being put into items that our child will be exposed to daily. There are too many scares out there today on what our children's toys can contain. We feel childhood is so rushed these days that maybe its time to slow down , get back to basics and play as we all once did. We are also the proud owners of Mommy of Ty Designs vinyl wall decals for little ones and more. come check us out http://www.etsy.com/shop/mommyofty
