Pintoy Toys have long been popular with parents looking for educational, innovative and safe wooden toys that offer excellent value for money. At WoodenToyShop we have found that children are also massive fans of this wonderful range of toys, not least the toys that allow kids to indulge their fascination with building sites and the emergency services:
Pintoy Construction Toys
Prince among this magnificent range of construction toys is the ever popular Pintoy Crane. This fantastic wooden toy crane can be seen in little boy’s bedrooms and playrooms throughout the land. Children love using this crane to move objects around their pretend building sites: the crane has pivoting legs, a rotating boom, working hook and removable pallet. There is even a crane operator on hand to ensure freight is moved safely and correctly.
A host of related Pintoy construction toys complement the crane, including a digger, roller, bulldozer, dumper truck, front end loader, site office, workers and an equipment set featuring a cement mixer, pneumatic drill, wheelbarrow and other site essentials. Although we don’t sell junior high visibility jackets and hard hats, this Pintoy range will help kids create a world of hard working fun.
Pintoy Fire Engine and Fire Fighting Toys
The truly fantastic Pintoy Fire Engine is one of our most popular wooden toys and adorns many a catalogue cover and website home page. Regularly reviewed as the best in the marketplace, the fire engine has received praise for its authenticity and attention to detail as well as its sturdiness. If kids were writing the reviews, we suspect they’d tell us about the bright red colours, the extending and rotating ladder, the removable fire hose and of course the blue lights!
Pintoy produce a number of toys that can be bought alongside (or at the next birthday or Christmas!) the fire engine. Chief among these is the Pintoy Fire Station which has enough room to house the fire engine when it’s not out on calls. The station has the obligatory fireman’s pole, lockers, bunk beds, control room and satellite dish to add to the realism. Of course, grandparents, aunties and uncles could add the Pintoy Firefighters and Firefighting Accessories to their favourite little one’s toy collection to complete a magnificent set.
Pintoy Ambulance and General Hospital
Children who rush to the window whenever they hear a siren will adore Pintoy’s hospital toys. The general hospital is crammed with brilliant detail and includes a children’s ward with toys and familiar hospital furniture. There is also an adult ward, rehabilitation/physiotherapy unit, reception and pharmacy and surgical theatre. This ingenious toy could be an invaluable tool for parents of children who are facing a spell in hospital or who are faced with visiting sick relatives. 
The wonderful Pintoy Ambulance complements the general hospital. Two uniformed paramedics and a wooden stretcher are supplied with the ambulance. Pintoy also produce a team of medics, a group of patients, a single patient with wheelchair and even an air ambulance for particularly dramatic emergencies.
Even this quick glance at some Pintoy beauties will give you a sense of how creative the toy designers are at Pintoy. Why not let your kids put their creations to the test?
