Sustainable Wooden Toys for Babies & Kids – Montessori-Inspired & Made in the USA and Canada
When Suzanne Collins Miller started handcrafting toys for her young sons in a sun-filled corner of her California home, she wasn’t thinking about creating a business. She was thinking about moments. The kind where little fingers grasp their first toy. Where imagination turns a wooden duck into a best friend. Where the world slows down just enough for wonder to unfold.
That’s how Miller Boys Vintage Toys was born—from a deep desire to nurture early childhood development through intentional play rooted in simplicity, beauty, and purpose.
Why Montessori Parents Love Our Wooden Toys
If you’re searching for:
- sustainable wooden toys for babies
- Montessori toys made in the USA and Canada
- safe, eco-friendly toys for toddlers
- Montessori baby gifts
… you’ve come to the right place.
Miller Boys Vintage Toys are lovingly crafted from natural wood, finished with non-toxic inks, and thoughtfully designed to support fine motor skills, imagination, and cognitive growth—all while looking beautiful on a nursery shelf.
Inspired by Childhood, Built for Development
Suzanne’s inspiration came from her own childhood—when toys were simpler, slower, and sparked creativity instead of overstimulation. As a mother, she noticed how many modern toys lacked purpose or were made of plastic that didn’t last. She wanted to give her sons something better—something that felt real.
Each toy is designed with early childhood experts and Montessori principles in mind. Think tactile experiences, open-ended play, and developmentally appropriate challenges.
