Our Little Tinker's Treasures

Our Little Tinker's Treasures Little Tinker’s peg doll families! In reality families are all unique, no family is the same and Our Little Tinker’s will help support your child's imagination!

Our Little Tinker’s are open ended toys, painted with Eco and Vegan stains and our designs are inspired by Nature. Inspired by Waldorf Steiner, we leave our Tinker’s faces blank, this encourages the child to imagine the doll's expression and form the identities of their Tinker characters. They are ideal for small world pretend play, seasonal displays, or decoration. Tinker’s are a FAMILY, they come in all shapes, sizes and colours just like we do. They can be mixed and matched and custom made, just get in touch.

- These Tinkers are all 6.5cm
- CE certified
- Suitable from 10months but these are not intended for teething, so recommended for when your child has stopped mouthing toys
-Eco friendly and Vegan Friendly stains ,primer and sealants are used.
Each Little Tinker is created using natural non toxic wood stains to show off and highlight the beautiful wood grain and knots, and sealed for durability with a matt toy safe sealant that gives a silky smooth finish with a soft sheen. Please Note - these are handcrafted from natural products, so "blemishes" and variations should be expected. Every piece of wood takes the stains in a different way, so every single piece is completely unique. We use a natural sealant and give each Tinker 4 coats, each with 24 hours in between each coat. SHIPPING

I have stated 1-2 weeks delivery time for any made to order items, however it may not take as long as this, it depends on how many orders I have at one time. If you need your Tinker's delivered sooner, I can try to arrange this for you.

Your Little Tinkers will come wrapped in tissue paper, tied with string and packaged in a recyclable box. SAFETY: Children/babies must be supervised at all times when playing with these items. Adults must regularly check the Tinker’s for any damage and assess if they’re suitable for their child depending on their age and ability. Tinker’s sized 10cm and 12cm tall have glued on heads. Our peg dolls have be CE certified however the head from these sizes could potentially be a choking hazard if snapped off. It is the sole responsibility of the parent/caregiver to provide age appropriate and ability suitable objects for their child, and to ensure the objects are cleaned and replaced when necessary.

THE FINAL FAMILY SETS

Announcement

This is your last chance to grab one of my family sets of open-ended wooden peg dolls. Once these are gone, I won’t be making them again.

I have a small number of full-price sets, plus a few seconds available at a reduced price.

What “seconds” means

Some pieces have small cosmetic imperfections from the making process. These may include light marks from shaping or slight colour variation where the stain has absorbed differently.

These are purely visual and do not affect play in any way.

Product details

Each family set includes a mix of different sizes, making them ideal for:

* small world play
* loose parts play
* storytelling
* imaginative, child-led play

They are still fully functional, tactile, and ready for play.

Pricing

* Family sets: £15 each usually start at £28
* Seconds sets: £9 each

How to buy

If you’d like to purchase, please send me a DM.
All sets are first come, first served, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

I’d love for these final sets to go to homes where they’ll be played with and enjoyed rather than sitting in storage

🌿 THEY’RE BACK… PEG DOLL MYSTERY BOXES! 🌿

You asked for them… and honestly, I need the shelf space 😂🙈

I’ve been busy painting away behind the scenes and, as usual, I’ve managed to paint FAR more peg dolls than I’ve actually had time to list on Etsy!

My shelves are overflowing… and now Tinker has decided our garden is officially a football pitch. ⚽️😂

So I’m having another BIG clear-out!

✨ PEG DOLL MYSTERY BOXES ✨

For just £15 INCLUDING UK POSTAGE, you’ll receive a completely mystery box of my hand-painted wooden peg dolls.

🎁 You’ll receive AT LEAST 3 peg dolls in every box… but some boxes will contain 4 or even 5!

It’s a total mystery what you’ll get! 👀

Inside you could find:

🌈 Brand-new designs
🌈 Some of our best-selling favourites
🌈 Plain colourful pegs
🌈 A mixture of characters, colours and designs

Every box will be different, and there are some absolute beauties hiding amongst this batch! 🥰

And yes… these are the same mystery boxes that SOLD OUT LAST TIME! 💚

I’m hoping to clear a LOT of shelf space this time because I have SO many dolls waiting for new homes.

And if I can clear enough, I might finally be able to buy the giant football net I desperately need to protect my plants from Tinker’s increasingly enthusiastic football skills… 😂🌿⚽️

£15 INCLUDING UK POSTAGE

📦 Minimum 3 peg dolls — some boxes have 4 or 5!
🎨 Hand-painted by me
🌿 Plastic-free packaging
🇬🇧 UK postage included

Once they’re gone, they’re gone — I’m not sure when I’ll get around to doing another batch!

👉 Message me to grab your mystery box!

Please share with anyone who loves our little peg dolls — it would genuinely help me clear these shelves! No refunds given they’re mystery boxes each box is a surprise

I wanted to share something a bit honest today

A while ago, I fell out of love with painting my peg dolls. What started as something really special to me slowly became quite disheartening. I spent so much time researching, sourcing and creating unique designs , especially my chunky 8cm dolls , only to then see very similar versions appearing elsewhere.

I’ve always been open and happy to help others, sharing where I find supplies etc. But it became difficult when those same designs were copied and sold cheaper. At one point, even the shape of my dolls was replicated after someone sent off my designs to a manufacturer in Shanghai, they refused to stop using my designs which was tough to see after all the time and care I’d put into building something original. It really upset me. As a small business its hard to fight.

Behind the scenes, there’s also been a lot of work to make sure everything I create is safe and compliant (CE & UKCA testing), alongside increasing Etsy fees… and it all just took the joy out of it for a while.

The truth is — I love painting. It’s always been my creative outlet and something that really supports my mental health (especially navigating ADHD, which I understand more now). But I lost confidence along the way and let imposter syndrome get the better of me, so I went quiet.

Recently though, I was asked to create a custom pirate order… and I loved every second of it. It reminded me why I started.

So last night, after recovering from a migraine, I picked up my brushes again and created something 🤍

This feels like a little step back to something I truly love.

I don’t usually post like this, but I need your help 💛
I’ve got a LOT of peg dolls sitting in my office that I need to clear, and I’m trying to raise some money quickly for unexpected car repairs.
So I’m doing a BIG clear-out sale — bundles, bulk boxes, and reduced prices on everything.
Honestly, I just need them gone and into good homes.
If you’ve ever wanted one (or a few!), now is the time. Once they’re gone, that’s it.
Message me or check my shop — I’ll also be posting bundle deals on my stories today ✨
