Make believe. Browsing the selection at Quiet Hours Toys really gets our imagination going. Carey Birgel created Quiet Hours Toys in response to a common challenge - having kids while being space constrained.

"With the lack of space we quickly started translating our philosophy of having 'fewer but better things' into toy-buying for the lads."

The online only store offers well-crafted handmade items that are detailed yet simple, fueling hours of make believe play for little ones. We love the interactive three-tier Twinkle Cake made of wool felt and 50 "fondant" decorations.
