Candylab Toys Issue 05 Awesome Wooden Toys for Contemporary Humans
STAYING SUSTAINABLE A 5,000-year-old toy, anyone? Ok, that's a bit dramatic, in the sense that it won't be a toy anymore, but the plastic used to make it will still be around. Plastic doesn't ever disappear, it just keeps breaking into smaller and smaller pieces, ending up in living organisms worldwide. Metals, rubber, textiles, and lots of other materials break down completely in nature after some decades. Not plastic. Did you know that more than HALF the plastic worldwide has been produced only since 2008? So, unlike other toy brands around the world, we set ourselves apart in one major way: we are firmly in the camp believing that wood as a natural, renewable resource can be just as versatile as plastic when it comes to building engaging and attractive toys. Our mission is to make wooden toys better than plastic ones, with zero compromises.

NEW ROADSIDE ATTRACTIONS, NOW IN CANDYCAR SCALE. To support our ever-growing fleet we created a perfect modular building block system: STAC™ It is a simple but endlessly adaptable idea: stackable, secure building blocks, combined with mid-century inspired accessories. As an all-wooden system, this makes it unique and perfectly adapted to our beloved CANDYCAR vehicles.

MAGNETIC PARKING AND STORAGE
HOLDS UP TO 21 CANDYCARS | GRAVITY-PROOF UP TO 47º INCLINE
As cars grew in popularity, the need for a place to park them was growing bigger and bigger. Parking became a problem & cities were looking for a solution to park as many cars in as little space as possible. Multi-story buildings dedicated to protecting and storing cars were a must back in the 50s and 60s but are commonplace now! History has a way of repeating itself, and that's why we developed our Magnetic Parking Garage. This fully functional, solid wooden garage comes with 21 parking spots that magnetically hold all your cars. The best part? Free parking for life.
PARKING GARAGE

A new kind of truck: Carved of solid beech wood with a real metal roof rack, The Big Sur is our clearest nod yet at the bygone era of big, clumsy, and extremely charming vintage American Trucks. We built it to celebrate the adventure, excitement, and freedom to travel beyond the asphalt - created around an iconic truck born and perfected in the USA.
