I had boats that looked just like these when I was a child:

(Along with some misc wood round pieces of various sorts. My parents got them all in 1 box of "misc" in the back room, maybe of an outlet store?) Anyways, I'd like to find something like it for my kid. He's getting in to wooden blocks now (At 3 years old)
Ideas?

Not the same, but this looks fun!

Maybe you could have someone on etsy make one like the boat from your childhood?"Someday, I am going to go to bed without toys on the floor and sippys in my sink. Things will stay where I put them and I can have nice, fragile items on display. But when I do, I will look around with a wistfullness in my heart and miss the days where vibrant imaginations ran wild and there was evidence of life happening around me all the time!"

Our favorite toy store is The Toy Boat on Nantucket. They have tons of wooden boats, as well as docks, cars, trucks, trains, etc.
They also have a website although it doesn't show everything they have in their store. You can try calling them or email them a picture to see if they have something like that in stock.

Here is their Harbor series

Our favorite is the Rainbow fleet....they are scale models of what the Yacht Club originally used to train the kids to sail. They are beautiful and the boys love to race them.
