My dad makes awesome wooden toys!! He makes these ducks that are on a stick and they "walk". Will try to post some pictures. He also makes dominoes that are about 15cm long, my class love them and DS makes towers with his!
Dad belongs to a local "men's shed" and they make a lot of wooden toys to sell or donate to sick kids, maybe look up and see if there is a Men's shed near you and see what they have.
