HELLO
Hello and welcome to Tanglewood Toys
We are Felicity and Damon from Aotearoa, New Zealand. We are a passionate Waldorf family with two amazing kiddos - our 7 year old daughter who we also homeschool and our 1 year old son.
.
I first delved into Waldorf education when my daughter was under one and as I slowly discovered more about it, the more it clicked. So much of what I was learning and implementing back then is still a huge part of our daily lives - blessings, daily rhythms, festivals, seasonal celebrations, arts and crafts, much loved books and when it comes to toys - a focus on simple, beautiful items that are built to last for generations.
.
We share a lot of our family’s Waldorf and homeschool life over on our Instagram account so be sure to follow us for art and craft, seasonal festivals and homeschool updates.
.
As parents we have made a conscious effort to try and limit our consumption of plastic toys and disposable items but obviously in this throw-away era it is a struggle. We hope that at Tanglewood Toys you can find beautiful wooden toys, dolls and books that will be with your family for a long time.
.
Our family took over as Tanglewood Toys new owners in 2021 after being long time customers. The business was founded in 2018 by two sisters Chelsea and Zoe Thorpe and we have been excited to build on what an amazing store and community they built, bringing new energy and new products while keeping all the favourites you know and love.
