There is a certain soulfulness to toys handmade with natural materials that plastic toys can never attain. James Harvey‘s rocking animals will be treasured for generations. Besides the aesthetic beauty of these fabulous toys I love that with each purchase James donates a portion of the sale to a charity that helps conserve elephants and rhinos in East Africa.
“The combination of African wildlife and working with wood led James to design and hand-make quality rocking rhinos, hippos and elephants under the name of ‘Rocking Rhinos’.”

These animals rock. These should be passed from one generation to the next. We don’t have family heirlooms anymore with all the plastic crap we buy.
I feel the same way!
