Who makes Toyineer: toymaker Tom Bast, for parents, teachers and enrichment coordinators

We are toymakers.

Everyone who builds a Toyineer toy is a toymaker. The first one is Tom Bast, who designs the toys and teaches them at a workshop table.

A message from Tom Bast

For parents, teachers and enrichment coordinators. The video is being filmed.

Tom Bast offers weekly toymaking workshops in his home town. He has been doing it for nearly two years and has worked with nearly a hundred children.

All of these toys have been made dozens of times by real-world learners at those workshops. The vast majority took a completed toy home with them.

Carton board is already in the kitchen. Glued to a printed blueprint, it is stiff enough to make working hinges, sliders and levers.

Simple material. Serious thinking.
