Maine Toys Different Drummer Toy Shop

Started over 25 years ago

In 1973 our family fled the “big city industrial rat race” to live in the small town of Solon, Maine, where we started the Different Drummer Workshop. We have always remained a small family wood craft business, aimed at making traditional wooden toys for kids using native Maine resources.

Our wooden toys are best known for the quality of their craftsmanship. The primary material is white pine, and every board of wood is carefully selected to show off its natural beauty and grain. The completed wooden toy is finely sanded to a satin smooth natural finish

In designing and building our toys, safety, simplicity, and durability are the main considerations. In manufacturing we make sure that all joints are solidly glued, that corners and edges are well rounded, and all surfaces are sanded smooth and feel soft and pleasant to touch. No artificial finishes are applied to our wooden toys, except to the sailboat and the “executive desk toys” and games, thus reducing concern about toxic substances going into a child’s mouth.

We believe that toys intended for children should be non-violent and simple in design, leaving the child to use his or her own imagination (instead of a battery) to fill in whatever details are needed at the time of play. Only those wooden toys aimed at older kids (adults) are designed with extra details.

Another thing for which our wooden toys are known is their durability. Now that we have been making wooden toys for more than a generation we constantly have grandparents tell us about buying a rocking horse or a choo-choo train for one of their own kids, now grown, who has just passed it down to a new grandchild. Often they’ll exclaim about how much play the toy received, perhaps through several kids, and how well it stood the test!



Our handcrafted wood toy bathtub boats are great traditional toys with which generations of kids have enjoyed taking a bath.

The 10-1/2” Wooden toy Sailboat with its 2 removable people is a super bathtub toy for the future sailor in the family. This is the only kids toy to which we apply any artificial finish, the hull being dipped in lead free varnish to give some protection from its use in water. However, if you prefer an un-varnished hull note it in the instruction box at the bottom of the order form.

Willow Tree Toys

"Willow Tree Toys was created in 2002, shortly after the birth of our second child. As an Attachment Parenting family, we were seeking a way to meld family and work life. We believed that we could create a new paradigm - one in which family needs, work needs and playfullness could all flourish. What a better way than selling toys! We welcome you to Willow Tree Toys.

At Willow Tree Toys, we hand select each product. We import many of our products directly from Germany and they are not available anywhere else in the United States. Our toys inspire creativity and offer open-ended play. We believe that childhood is a special time to be cherished. We want to encourage children and their parents to be truly present during play. Our toys allow children to fully engage all their senses while creatively exploring the world. Our quality European-style wooden toys, natural organic toys, and arts and craft kits are consistent with the Waldorf educational philosophy.

Waldorf education is based on the philosophies of Austrian scientist Rudolph Steiner. Steiner founded a school in Austria in 1919 with the principle that human beings are comprised of body, soul and spirit. Waldorf education strives to educate the whole child. Younger children are taught through the myths and fables of fairy tales. Waldorf toys tend to be classic and simple. Toys are generally made of wood and/or natural organic fabrics. Doll's faces are neutral, allowing the child to imagine how the doll may be feeling. Creative play is encouraged as Waldorf toys are designed to be open-ended. Waldorf toys have as many uses as the imaginative child wishes.

As a valued customer at Willow Tree Toys, you can expect to receive the highest quality products, outstanding customer service and extremely fast shipping. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to email us at info@willowtreetoys.com. We would love to hear from you!"
