Breyer Animal Creations took flight in the early 1950s with a special # 57 Western Horse for the F.W. Woolworth Company. Purchased by Reeves International in 1998, Breyer is its largest international line, and manufactures a vast range of products including horses—its expertise—and similar plastic or resin models.

Not every farm has cows and chickens and there are children who absolutely love horses. That's why we love Breyer - they focus purely on horse farms and equestrian pretend play. And do it quite well me must say.

The Breyer Traditional Wood Horse Stable measures 12.2 x 3.5 x 11.2 inches and is designed for kids of ages 5 years and older. It’s made entirely of wood, can accommodate classic and traditional series horses, and is outfitted with chain stall guards, barn doors that swing open and closed, and two feed bins to add a decorative flair to the setting. Assembly is required, but is relatively easy with the included instructions. Considering all of its fun and one-of-a-kind features, this is a toy barn your child (or the collector in your life) is sure to love.

A California-based company, Green Toys—just as the name would suggest—designs and builds toys in the USA that are 100 percent recyclable, and free from harmful substances such as BPA, phthalates, and PVC. Toy ideas are communicated to parents, after which 2D and 3D sketches are made for the green toy treatment. Believe it or not, recycled milk bottles are the most-used material for the brand’s toys, along with other recycled plastics, all to create excellent products; this also keeps unnecessary plastic from landfills, reduces the amount of energy used, and keeps its carbon footprint to a minimum. But that’s not all—all toys are neatly packed in 100 percent recyclable cardboard, so there are no cellophane wrappers or pesky twist ties to deal with.

USA-made from 100 percent recyclable plastic without the use of potentially harmful BPA, phthalates, or PVC, the Green Toys Farm Playset is designed for kids of ages between 24 months and 6 years, and is bound to offer hours of creative play and encourage fine motor skills. The set includes a wide range of accessories including fences, pigs, sheep, hog shed, pickup truck, barn, and let’s not forget the farmer—all dishwasher-safe. Cleanup and storing it away is a joy as well, given that all the characters can be tucked away neatly inside the barn, and the onsite handles allow your little one to take the fun with them anywhere.
