Tyke Toys


As the wood products industry changed in the 1930s due to packaging innovations, such as corregated cardboard boxes, the Menasha Wooden Ware changed with the times.  This 1934 brochure highlighted the toys and juvenile furniture that the company began to make and market.  This introduction of dollhouses, dollhouse furniture, tables and chairs helped to bolster the company's survival and the security of many jobs for its craftsmen. 


This lamp at the right was a Tyke Toys product.  It is 1 1/2" scale.  .

  1. Toys are the most important part of children's' life. These are the first friend a child can ever have. They are like stair for a child to learn about new things to explore their passion . That is what Playforever is trying to give for so many year to your child.
