Ed Higinbotham Still Making Wooden Toys For Children At Age 95

FAYETTE COUNTY (KDKA) - Age?
It's nothing but a number for Ed Higinbotham.
For yet another year, the 95-year-old has made and donated hundreds of wooden toys to make sure children across the Commonwealth have something to play with during the Christmas holiday.
Higinbotham has been making toys for children, including tractors, trucks, and more since the 1980s.
He spoke with KDKA's Ross Guidotti in 2019 and when asked what he thinks knowing that his work could make a child's Christmas, he said, "I could almost cry, to be honest with you."
This year, state police picked up 300 wooden toys for donation.
