Natural Toys to Love

Why natural materials?? The rich of experience of wood, silk and wool feeds the child's senses and opens them gently to the world around them through their senses.

The young child is sponge-like in her ability to take in all that surrounds her...
she seems to learn through osmosis!

The warmth and wholesomeness of natural materials provide a rich experience for your little one's senses.

I believe in creative play as a foundation for future learning and to this end I encourage parents to look to beautiful wooden toys playthings to enhance their child's play.

PLAY 

"Play is the royal road to childhood happiness and adult brilliance" Joseph Chilton Pearce

"It is the fantasy of our children alone that breathes life into the seemingly stiff wooden figures, the form and color of which purposely have been reduced to an essential minimum. It is apparent how little coaching our children need to dive into their worlds. We go to great lengths in shaping and crafting each individual figures so as to preserve this fantasy world and thereby to give children the ability to draw on their creativity during play."

Happy Sailing 

featured item

Blue Wave Wooden Sailboat from Craftsbury Kids
$16.00

Wooden sailboat with beautiful cotton sail. This little boat is sturdy enough for a small child and can be used in the tub, or any body of water. A safe and non-toxic alternative to plastic bath toys, and for outings to the puddle filled park.

The sails are tied with a waxed cotton string, and the wood is finished with a non-toxic coating. Includes a removable rudder for added stability on rough seas. Remove the rudder if you feel your toddler may break it. Boat is 8 inches wide and 7 inches tall.

Since the sails are an uncoated cotton, the boat will become tippy once the sail becomes wet, therefore these boats are best on calm seas.

For children age 3 and older.
Although this item is suitable for young children, adult supervision is recommended to prevent breakage if you feel your child isn't old enough to play with the boat unsupervised.
