3 Toddler Toy Store Ideas for Etsy or Online Craft Stores

Ann Siper
Toddlers love toys and online shopping is on the rise, so incorporating some toddler toys into your Etsy store is a great way to increase sales. You can create great toddler toys for your online craft store and market them to parents as well at the toddlers.

Here are 3 ideas for toddler toys to sell at Etsy or your online craft store:

Toddler Toy Craft Ideas #1: Wooden Puzzles

Wood toys are a great keepsake that can be used by the child, but still stand the test of time. Hand made wood puzzles are a great gift that will remind the parents and grandparents of times gone by when all toys were not made from plastic. They also look great hanging on the wall.

You can create you own wood puzzles for toddlers using jigsaws or other small handheld saws that can really cut small details. You will want to sand the edges to make sure they are smooth. Detail can be added with wood bringing tools and paints as well. This is a great way to customize a piece and really make a great handmade gift for Etsy.

Tips: Why not use an image of the child to create the wood puzzle. You can also do these in themes that appeal to toddlers like certain animals, flowers, and even barn themes that kids love. Primary colors and almost any other bright color will appeal to children, so are sure to include those as well.

Toddler Toy Craft Ideas #2: Toy Box

Hand built wood toy boxes are a great high-end item to sell on Etsy. If you really know how to work with wood and have been looking for a high end wood item to sell on your online craft store, then this is a great idea.

Shipping will be high here, so why not create a fun piece that is held together by ducktail joints. This means the piece could fit together like a puzzle, but be taken apart to lay flat. This is great for the mailing and boxing up.

Toddler Toy Craft Ideas #3: Chalkboard Wall Kits

Ok, this one is a really fun idea that you can market to the parents and get them started creating something fun and unique for their toddler. Why buy all the comments of creating a chalkboard wall and sell it for one price to parents.

You would want to include the paint, paint brush, chalk, and even a chalk holder. A paint tray would be a nice touch too. Be sure to include written instructions on how to paint the wall and you havea fun product that toddlers can use and parents can buy at your online craft store.
