Whimsical and artistic automata toys designed by master artists, feature intricate moving parts turned by hand crank. Automata are mini-machines that use cams, gears, ratchets and cranks to make the toy move. Once assembled, turn the crank, and the models come to life! Our wood kits are made from sustainable wood and can be assembled without glue. CNC cut for high precision and quality, these toys are a great joy to put together! Colored kits are printed with rich hues. All kits include easy to follow pictorial instructions.
