Bumbleberry Toys - Calgary

Toys Made With Love And A Little Magic

Growing deep in the heart of the Bumble Woods, is the Bumbleberry Tree. It's a magic tree, with rainbow leaves and purple bark. Under the Bumbleberry Tree live the Bumble Gnomes - magical toy making gnomes. This is Bumbleberry Toys.

Okay, so we may not be gnomes. And we definitely don't live under a magical tree. But that is the feel we strive for. We have always loved wooden toys. The simple play and vivid imagination that they foster in our children are incomparable.

We started making toys for our own children six years ago. As two creative people it seemed like a natural thing to do, and there is nothing better than watching kids play with something we have made ourselves. We've always dreamed of offering our toys for sale and we are over the moon to be turning that dream into reality.

Jared is the woodworker. He cuts, creates, shapes, and sands all of our toys. We design them together and then he takes them outside to work his magic.

Emma is head painter and organizer extraordinaire. She could technically help with sanding, but finds it boring. Instead her creative energy goes into painting and finishing the toys. It is wonderful to watch them come to life.

We have five children ourselves. That's a lot of children! We run all of our ideas by them and they are dedicated product testers! It's a busy household but so full of love.

Above all, our toys reflect our hopes and dreams of childhood play. We believe in magic, in nature, and wonder. In whimsy and imagination. It is our greatest hope that each toy we make becomes part of the beautiful adventures of childhood.
