I am Ashlee. Wife, mom, and lover of the simple things in life. Being a mom is one of the most gratifying things in life for me. Watching them grow, watching them learn, their curious and inquisitive nature and lets face it, being their biggest inspiration in life…at least while they are little. Several years ago we made, lets call it the “big switch”. We were over the constant need for batteries, the loud zipping sounds in the background and the constant boredom of their environment. So we did it, we made “the switch!”! We wanted toys that were going to keep our kids not only entertained but learning and interacting with their environment. Being good for the Earth was the cherry on the cake. We were absolutely amazed at the results. Not only were they playing (for hours), but it gave us a unique opportunity to sit back and watch them play. Small world and imaginative play gave us the chance to learn, to hear their hearts, what they loved, what they feared. This is something we felt every parent should experience

As a seasoned wood worker, I jumped at the chance to make wooden toys for my children and soon found it brought me just as much joy to make them for other children as well. It turns out my husband, Terrance, really enjoys the tools too. The creative itch was scratched, the joy was secured and The Wooden Playhouse was born.

I hope our toys bring lots of smiles, lots of laughs and a never-ending sense of wonder.
