The WoodChic Journey

Hi, I am Alessandra.  I live in Michigan with my husband, two kids and miniature Labradoodle Maui Jim. 

When my kids were young, I was always looking for fun, new ways to encourage their learning through hands-on activities, exploration and imaginative play.  Now that they’re older, I was looking for a way to share my passion for creating hands-on learning materials with others. 

WoodChic was born by fusing my background in Early Childhood Development with my Husband’s lifelong passion for woodworking.  Our goal is to create fun and engaging learning materials that can be passed on for generations.

Our learning collection includes learning materials for literacy, math and sensory play activities.  We had so much fun creating our unique sensory tray designs that we soon realized Big Kids want fun trays too.  So, we created the CharcutoTRAY™!

The WoodChic Way

Our CharcutoTRAY™ collection elevates gatherings with FUNctionality. Each tray is meticulously hand-sanded for a smooth finish and crafted from FDA approved finishes. Designed to impress and serve, these trays are perfect for hosting and make timeless gifts that will be cherished for generations.

Our signature smooth rounded edges add an elegant touch to the final piece and make sure there aren’t any sharp edges that may harm our little friends.
