My Toy Wagon is a family-run shop in Los Angeles, California, online since 2020. It opened in December 2020. The shop began during the first long year of the pandemic, when the founders spent most mornings at the LA Arboretum with their daughters and brought the wagon; what started as a way to get through the day became something else, with Rashid riding in it and convincing Hafsa and Noor to push him down the garden paths, then Irfana. That year changed how they thought about things: not screens or batteries or anything that explains itself, but pieces that asked something back from the child — wooden things shaped by hand, felt things stitched at a table, objects built to last long enough to be handed down. They started writing to the makers of those things; some replied, some did not, and the ones who did became the heart of the shop. What is on the shelves now is what came back from those letters: colored block sets from a workshop in Germany, a felt world from a women's cooperative in Nepal, hand-carved animals from Romania, vehicles from a family workshop in Poland. The shop does not carry everything; it carries what the founders would give their own children. Before there was a shop, there was research: Irfana holds a doctorate in History and Middle Eastern Studies from NYU, specializing in Ottoman history, trained in the longue durée and years spent in archives deciphering handwritten scribal documents, and she brings that discipline to what is put on the shelf, weighing each piece for how it was made, who made it, and whether it can survive the way a child actually plays.

Toys meant to be kept, not outgrown; pieces chosen to scale across a childhood and last for the sibling who comes after.
