Spotlight: Tater Tot Toys


The Frys


Looking for the perfect gift for your favorite tater tot? Look no further! My sister, Megan, is blowing my socks off with her custom-made alternatives to "Little People" - the Tater Tot Toy collection! Aren't they so cute? She introduces them the best:
The (Baker) Family resides happily in Tater Tot Town, along with many of their
friends. Each member of the family has been lovingly made by hand for your little Tater Tot. Standing at just over 2 inches tall, Tater Tot Toys are the perfect fit for chubby little fingers.

All of the residents of Tater Tot Town are made from wooden spools, ribbon and hand painted by me, with non-toxic acrylic paint and varnish. These toys are not recommended for children under 3, as some contain small pieces.

Tater Tot Toys are great for any little one's big imagination!

You can find them here on Etsy. If you can't find what you're looking for in her ready-made inventory, check her sales link (at right) and choose from the many she has sold already. You can order individuals or whole sets. And the answer to everyone's question at this point - yes! She does CUSTOM ORDERS! Who wouldn't want their own family's version of the Tater Tot Toys? The price is right, too!

Although I know I'm embarrassing her to death by posting this, I'm extremely proud of her ingenuity & talent, and can't wait to get her cute toys in my hot little hands! Happy shopping, everyone!

**Since I am feeding these pictures in from another internet source, the resolution is not as great as the pictures you will find in her store.**
