Ships for all ages




A little worker


Who wants to take a ride?




Or maybe a travel by boat?

Play is one of the best things in life. And can be the best, when you grow older. When we play, there´s no time and no tiring. Just being happy!

Here we show you a photo presentation on the work of a brazilian artist, Mestre Molina. Molina does very interesting toys, like the older toys: very simple, and very fun. Take a look!

moves and takes a somersault

Mr. Manuel Josete Molina, the Mestre Molina, is a "rattletrap" creator. Like a Gepeto, the creator of "Pinóquio" he does toys that move mechanically, like an old locksmith office (with 24 little workers), a Bar with clients… and some toys like ships, dolls and litlle cars.

Mestre Molina had an interesting life. He was a rural worker, played violino, build fireworks and worked on coal mines. Only he was 52 he has begun to build his first toys. Now he is 72 and a great artist, doing toys that shows that children happiness can be on all ages hearts.




Let´s go to the Park?

Actually we have a lot of electronic toys and games for fun. OK, they are cool! But they give you all things already done, isn´t it? Isn´t cool to take a can, and make a very simple little car, and imagine everything? Then you go far…
