toymaker

Children's gift artisan

A toymaker is a person or company that makes toys.

The word evokes craftsmen who build wooden trains and dollhouses by hand, though it applies equally to industrial manufacturers: The German toymaker announced record holiday sales.

In fantasy and Christmas stories, toymakers often possess magical abilities: Santa's toymakers worked through the night.
