Willow Tree Toys was created in 2002, shortly after the birth of our second child.
As an Attachment Parenting family, we were seeking a way to meld family and work life.
We believed that we could create a new paradigm - one in which family needs, work needs and
playfullness could all flourish. What a better way than selling toys! We welcome you to Willow Tree Toys.
At Willow Tree Toys, we hand select each product. We import many of our products directly from Germany and they
are not available anywhere else in the United States. Our toys inspire creativity and offer open-ended play.
We believe that childhood is a special time to be cherished. We want to encourage children and their parents
to be truly present during play. Our toys allow children to fully engage all their senses while creatively
exploring the world. Our quality European-style wooden toys, natural organic toys, and arts and craft kits
are consistent with the Waldorf educational philosophy.
Waldorf education is based on the philosophies of Austrian scientist Rudolph Steiner. Steiner founded a
school in Austria in 1919 with the principle that human beings are comprised of body, soul and spirit.
Waldorf education strives to educate the whole child. Younger children are taught through the myths and
fables of fairy tales. Waldorf toys tend to be classic and simple. Toys are generally made of wood and/or
natural organic fabrics. Doll's faces are neutral, allowing the child to imagine how the doll may be feeling.
Creative play is encouraged as Waldorf toys are designed to be open-ended. Waldorf toys have as many uses as
the imaginative child wishes.
As a valued customer at Willow Tree Toys, you can expect to receive the highest quality products, outstanding customer service and extremely fast shipping. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to email us at info@willowtreetoys.com. We would love to hear from you!
