These whimsical creations reflect his dedication to bringing joy into young lives through beautifully crafted toys. Moreno's creativity extended beyond wooden objects; he also designed practical items such as the sturdy "Grain Basket, " which dates back to 1938, and the versatile "Bread Basket" from around that same period.
