Automoblox Wooden Cars

I’d never heard of these wooden toy cars before until I read about Automoblox in a Sunday supplement.

Automoblox cars are proper wooden cars designed to made by children …and dads of course!

There’s a range of different vehicles to choose from including sports cars, pick-ups and mini cars too.

Can sometimes be hard to get hold off but as I look today amazon have got quite a few different ones in stock.
