Quality Roy Toy log blocks - the toys that you remember
Roy Toy was established in the mid 1930's by one of the earliest pioneers in the wooden toy industry, Roy K. Dennison. Like the early pioneers, Roy realized that there was an intriguing love for wooden construction sets, and that this excitement was had by both children and their parents. Roy would often say, there's no greater feeling for a parent than helping their child explore their own imagination. This became the inspiration for his classic log building designs. For these challenging sets Roy used unique rectangular shaped logs with a tight notching fit leading to structures that wouldn't topple easily. The logs were also hand cut and honed to a finish which gave them a realistic feel and truly classic look. Roy filled the hearts of children and families with joy, and wonder for nearly 30 years, until his death in the 1960's. At that time, the machines stopped and the doors to his factory closed. Roy Toys were nearly forgotten.
After nearly 30 years and three generations the doors to Roy Toy were reopened. With the ingenuity of his grandfather buried deep in his genes, grandson, Bruce Dennison set out to pick up where his grandfather left off. Bruce understood the classic look his grandfather wanted in his log buildings and wasn't about to change the toys that he remembered. Bruce believed that the key to this classic look was the toy's hand made design. With this design the logs have the realistic quality, and feel that truly captured the classic look his grandfather set out to create. Not only are the logs more classic looking, they also fit together much tighter and make structures that are much larger than most other log building sets. Time has also helped Roy Toy's retain their classic look. Roy Toy still uses pine logs as before, which are stained with a non-toxic dye and unlike today's wooden building sets, Roy Toys still have red, wooden gables and green, wooden roof planks. Today's sets are also hand cut, just as they were by Roy.
