Doug and Louise Brown have spent their lives making toys and giving back to their community. They make beautiful wooden toys by hand like basic planes, cars, farm animals and trains.
Doug and Louise Brown have been running Wood to Wonderful, a workshop in Reading for the past 26 years.Doug Brown explains, "Wooden toys today are unique. In order for children to use our toys they have to use their imagination, have to create the sound of the car or the farm animal. That's what I love about it."
They've recently donated 3,000 wooden toys to Uvalde, Texas, for children in the wake of the tragic school shooting there. Last year, he reached out to Razom and they told him what Ukraine's families really need are rattles for babies."I heard on the radio during the first month of the war in Ukraine, there were 5,000 babies born. And these babies have no rattles or any toys to use or play with," Doug says.
