They’re Here! Our Top 10 New Toys

eli & mattie christmas

Over a year ago, we created Eli & Mattie, a toy collection that is deeply inspired by where we live. Instead of over-complicated, mass-produced toys that barely make it past Christmas, we wanted something different, something that reminded us of the toys of yesteryear when things were built to last.

That’s when we turned to our Amish neighbors. They’ve been crafting various goods by hand for generations and their skilled craftsmanship is what makes these toys so great. Each Eli & Mattie toy is made by hand – one at a time – by an Amish craftsman, using materials that are durable for your little ones (no plastic!). The quality is stunning, but more importantly, these toys are made to spark your child’s imagination.

Here’s a quick look at what’s new for Eli & Mattie this season, all made here in Ohio. (And you’ll only find these toys at Lehman’s!)

1. Dollhouse with Furniture

8. Train with Oval Track

You won’t lose part of the track with this smart design. Instead of a bunch of pieces you need to connect, the track is one hinged piece, so it folds in half when you’re done.

9. Noah’s Ark
