Here Comes Timmy The Tractor From Local Entrepreneur, Angie Wyatt


It's always fun when we introduce a new product or line at My Favorite Toys and www.MyFavToys.com. Doubly so when the developer of the item is a local person and someone we know personally.

Such is the case with our new Timmy the Tractor line, introduced by Angie Wyatt, known to area TV viewers as the news anchor on WSIL-TV.

Angie married into a farm family, and "from raising cattle, to making hay, to growing a crop, I found all aspects of farming to be fascinating," she says.

When her son's first word was "tractor," she sensed a bit about her future! "After scouring the aisles of toy stores, I realized there wasn't much of a selection in character-type farm implements," she said.

As a result, Timmy, the soft plush, interactive tractor was born. A paperback book, "Hay Day," actually preceded the release of the plush Timmy, and that book will be the first of a series which will also include Manny the Mower, Ralph the Rake, and Bill the Baler.

We also carry Timmy The Tractor t-shirts in sizes 2T and 4T at My Favorite Toys's brick-and-mortar store at University Mall in Carbondale.

A theatre production is another aspect of the Timmy series, and maybe even TV and big screen productions will follow.

We're pleased to welcome Timmy to our shelves and online offerings!
