HEALTH AND SAFETY 
INFANT TRAINER

Made for Sam, my grandson, aged 12 months 
 (Xmas 2004)

(press the hazard buttons and they make a variety of different noises, the best of which was a 'hidihi' doorbell chime) 

TRAIN 2005
Sam, now aged 2, is obsessed by trains.
All the good trains I could find in toy shops said 'not for children under 36 months' so I decided to spend a few days making him our local train, big enough for all his furry animals. I couldn't find any photos but it was more fun trying to do it from memory.

It runs on castors and the doors open by turning a lever in the cab and a switch turns on the white LED headlights.

 
He was so delighted by it that he wouldn't let it out of his sight all christmas day, and finally tried to go to sleep on top of it. On boxing day he worked out a way of squeezing himself inside it


Very, very satisfying!

 DOLL'S HOUSE 1982
I made this for Ellie, my stepdaughter and Sam's mum. Ellie spent ages arranging her possessions so a shop had more potential for playing with than a house! 
Its still in use, now on its 5th owner!
