Enter a world of possibility and wonder in this virtual visit to Rick’s professional toymaker space.  You’ll encounter gargantuan toys, mechanical marvels, high tech tools, and shelves crammed with the raw materials of toy-creation—the nuts, bolts, rubber bands and wooden widgets that find their way into Rick’s captivating projects.

You’ll practically smell the sawdust and hear the gears turning in students’ minds as they witness science, engineering and the creative process up close and in action!

“Moving, spinning, silly, grinning toys jump with life! Rick’s imaginative knowledge of toys and toy-making and his joy in sharing the technique, inventiveness and pure fun of it all make kids clamor for more.”
–Yung-Chin Wu, Children’s Librarian
