I have searched the internet, library and all my friends looking for some ideas on carved children s toys. They are sometimes called whimsy's. I am almost desperate. Done the ball in a cage , ball in a box, sliding toys of all sorts, but there has to be a resource out there that has so much more. Thanks Jim Smitley
