Apple Country Woodcrafters make, donate 100s of wooden toys for children this Christmas
HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — Hundreds of handcrafted wooden toys are on their way to local children, just in time for Christmas.

"I think of these toys as heirlooms because I suspect that they get passed from child to child and down through the generations," said Margi Jenks, with Apple Country Woodcrafters. "I've made puzzles one year that were like the puzzles I played with when I was a kid."
