Product of the Week
StreamlinersSome wooden toys are exactly what you'd expect blocks of wood carefully machined in a production facility to approximate the objects that surround us every day. Cars. Trucks. Fire engines. That sort of thing. Often they're painted in primary colors. Sometimes they're left in the "natural" color of wood. That's all good and fine, and we have no complaints. But what would those toys look like if they were produced in Sweden? And what if the year was 1946?Well, it's certainly not 1946, but it's plain to see that PLAYSAM was inspired by design cues of the '40's when you gaze at their wooden "Streamliners" and "Executive Toys". The offerings here are more along the lines of nostalgic art than run-of-the-mill toy, but of course, that's why we sought them out.Swoopy and minimalist execution abounds, and "toys" we've all seen before suddenly look a whole lot different when interpreted by PLAYSAM. A rocket (think Buck Rogers, not Apollo 13). Airplanes (like those that returned to the National Air Races in 1946, after hiatus for the war). A baby buggy (which looks sleeker than a Formula 1 car). And a black lacquered beauty which pays homage to the 1946 SAAB 92001 prototype. If your child (or spouse) has done something special lately, then they may be deserving of a "toy" from PLAYSAM. I'm saving my pennies.
