Two years ago my book was first published. It has been posted to so many different countries and the popularity of these wonderful toys keeps on growing

Out for a Sunday walk, correctly attired in plus fours, cap, waistcoat and tie. Mother & daughter are probably at home cooking the Sunday lunch.

A very Happy Easter from the Forest Toys donkey family. These three are from my book

A very strange bird is the pelican

His beak can hold more than his belly can

This is a lovely example, standing 2 1/2″ high, he has metal legs and a three part body

 

Forest Toys of Brockenhurst

Following on from the royal visit down under – a family of Kangaroos including a baby in mum’s pouch, from my book

 

On page 50 under the section on dogs, at the bottom left hand corner a grey and white dog has been shown as a Chow Chow.  It is in fact a Keeshond. These dogs were used as guard dogs on Dutch canal boats.

The Chow Chow is the red coated dog shown here

A new addition. This Fluffy Chow Chow is in his section of a Dog Show kennel awaiting judging. The kennels comprise 1 x 6 and 2 x 3 sections, each with a fine chain to keep them in place.  I think this one has certainly won a prize, but where is his rosette ?

I love this Forest Toys cat waiting for the mouse to reappear from the nibbled feed sack. This is the only known pose for a FT cat, unless you know otherwise.  From my book which can be seen in my shop –  go to rockfordtoys.co.uk

Both these Forest Toys Indian and African elephants are happy to share a watering hole in such hot weather. The babies come in a variety of sizes and poses as well as the adults.  Their tusks are made of lead.
