Your kids and their friends will have hours of play with this high-quality, hand-crafted Fagus wooden forklift and mobile crane, created by a socially responsible and environmentally friendly German wooden toy company!
Since 1981, Fagus (FAH-goos, Latin for "beech") toys have been made in Borken, Germany, in their workshop for physically challenged adults. Besides creating work opportunities, the workshop also strives to:
nurture the development of the individual personality
maintain and improve the ability to work
teach, develop and maintain qualifications
promote social skills
strengthen self-esteem and independence
expand/maintain cultural techniques
promote creative design
improve practical life skills
promote a self-reliant way of life and improve/maintain physical performance up to and including entry into the 1st job market
Each employee utilizes a workstation that is specifically tailored to them, taking into consideration the assigned task and their specific skills and abilities.
All toys are delicately hand-crafted without the use of nails, screws or clips. Each toy is manually edged, milled, cut, lacquered and varnished using water-soluble, environmentally friendly lacquer. The clear and transparent nature of the lacquer used preserves the look and beauty of natural wood.
