Scrap Book
Once upon a time, we , the busy bees at Homestead Folk Toys,
were originally known as "Toy Elves". That was in our early
days, when we formed our business around the Swiss-Alps
cottage industry concept of toy-making and were known for
our special Christmas-package grouping of toys.
Through the following years, we began to focus more and more
on researching and developing authentic American folk toys,
and thus was born Homestead Folk Toys, Games and Crafts.
These days, we simply call ourselves researchers, craftsmen
and women, web designers, publishers, fabric specalists,
woodworkers and, in general, jacks of many trades.
We exhibit our product line both regionally and nationally
at professionally-recognized trade shows , such as the ones
pictured here, including the Museum Store Association's
expositions which are held in major market areas
both regionally and all across the United States.
Exhibiting at these shows gives us our greatest
opportunity to talk to the museum buyers in person
and get very important feedback on our product
line.
In the past, we have also demonstrated many of
our more popular folk toys at invitation-only fairs
and even in school classrooms.
One of the greatest joys in our business life is to
see historical folk toys being used by today's children.
Here, we see two children enjoying the game of Graces
on a rainy day, inside the classroom. We have always
believed that kids of all ages (including adults) should
have the opportunity to experience these delightful
pastimes.
One of our joys here at Homestead Folk Instruments is
crafting inexpensive harps and other musical instruments for beginning musicians all across the country. These instruments
are entirely of our own design, and are, therefore, exclusive
to us.
We invite you to check back from time to time as we add
