Handmade Toys & Dolls
Wooden toys, cloth dolls, puppets, spinning tops and folk figures carry the strictest safety regime in the whole craft economy. Once an item can be read as a toy for children, small-parts testing, sharp-point rules, migration limits on paints and flammability standards apply regardless of how it was made. This section covers the world's toy craft traditions, the distinction between collector figures and children's toys, and the age-grading and labelling decisions that every buyer has to make before the first order is placed.
