Beautiful all wood hand carved Toys and Ornaments Imported from "Georgia" on the Black Sea in Europe
Welcome to the world of fine heirloom artistically crafted and organically colored white maple, birch and alder wood toys imported from the beautiful country of Georgia. In April, 2002, we became the exclusive North American distributor of these wonderful toys. Each time a shipment comes they look more beautiful than the last. We are very excited about our product and welcome you all to come in, become a little child again, and share our enthusiasm. All paints used are from Germany and certified to be safe to children
Our company is located in Seattle, Washington. Our little bookshop's shelves, filled with books by Rudolf Steiner founder of the Waldorf School Movement, are overflowing with these lovely hand crafted toys from the Republic of Georgia. I have a personal connection to the Seattle Waldorf School as its founder (1980) along with the late Ronald F. Moss (1921-1996), who founded the Dr. Rudolf Steiner Bookstore in 1976.
Also, as the founder of The Willow Branch Puppet Theater and the Pacific Northwest School of Puppetry, I am very connected to beauty, quality and the creative imagination, these qualities of goodness, beauty and truth are acquired in the child's years of play with natural, living materials, and thus wish only to offer these qualities to you and your children
The toys were discovered in a little toy shop in Georgia by a dear friend Monica Gold, who visits Georgia and Russia every year taking her non-profit Isis Cultural International Society group with her who are interested only in helping those who are asking to establish Waldorf Education in their countries, when, lo and behold, she discovered that some of the toys were being made by a group of about 14 who are connected to the Waldorf School Movement in their area.
This discovery took place in July 2001 and at the end of October of that year we imported our first shipment of toys. When everyone saw these toys they could not say enough about them, ex: "They are more beautiful than all the other toys I am familiar with and these artists have been able to capture the inner soul quality of the animals."
So, enter in, become a little child, lose yourself in the creative world of play and come back regularly as there are always new creatures appearing.
