North Star Crafts honours childhood by offering natural toys and products which spark children’s creativity and instill a sense of awe and wonder. With a focus on natural materials, items are sourced from socially-conscious businesses and local artisans.

North Star Crafts is inspired by Waldorf Education and a holistic view of child development. Acknowledging the benefit this education can have on children and their families, all proceeds go to support Polaris School and Centre’s accessible to all financial model, supporting families whose children
would otherwise not be able to attend and ensure that this holistic approach is accessible to all.
