Since 2019, I (Ivan) am making simple wooden toys for fun, without financial profit.

The creation of wooden toys making company was Jennifer's idea in 2010. I (Ivan) enjoyed the idea as it was creating something for the children and I was unemployed at that time. I only came with the name JI Family Toys and I made the toys. I am still making simple wooden toys only for fun, to donate and give them away. Chidren will always need toys.

Money - I have more money now than I ever needed

I (Ivan) am relatively new to the United States. I like very much that

the United States of America was established upon the principles of the Bible.

One of my favourite scriptures is 2 Timothy 3. It teaches me of humility and to be humble.

 This blog was created by Jennifer. I (Ivan) have added some text and pictures to it.

We are Jennifer and Ivan Yanev of J.I.Family Toys.  We created J.I.Family Toys in 2011 to provide safe and cute toys for children of all ages.  Ivan is a drafter and a mechanical engineer from Bulgaria that enjoys making simple wooden toys.  Jennifer, in addition to working in education, is the brains of the operation as well as the chief painter.  Our favorite phrase is "It's a small world after all".

I (Ivan) am grateful to my beautiful and lovely eternal companion for providing all love in our family. My beautiful and lovely wife is everything in my life and I will do my best to provide better for my spouse.

We are thankful to God for new knowledge at Church and for possibilities to study and learn new things at schools and colleges that we can use at work.

We are thankful to you for visiting our site.

These are some 1½” cubes that Ivan made for an order he received.  The person who placed the order is using them at a paper crafting workshop. 

Jennifer Painting

Ivan is insisting that I post a picture of myself (Jennifer) painting the toys. He really is the talent in the company, but he wants everyone to know that I paint some of the toys.
