What Toymakers are saying
"I’ve always wanted to get into handcrafts but have felt so intimidated. You make the most beautiful creations feel attainable."
- Maggie
"Simple, straightforward directions."
- Roz
”I have 3 kids and work full-time. I’m so happy to have online access to learn to craft beautiful, cute toys for my kiddos! Never had time (or sitters) to make it to any “in person” classes, so this is perfect. I can fit in crafting, when and where I can, plus my kids like watching your videos with me!"
- Holly
"My six-year-old love love loves to craft and it is so helpful to have a video component that I don't have to sit down and show her every step. Just help her where she's stuck." - Deb

Mothers and Children Creating Together
"If you are making toys and your children are watching you, you are passing on a skill to them so that they start to learn how to create things for themselves as well." - Allyson

"An accessible way to step into the world of Waldorf crafting"
"Toymaking Magic is an accessible way to step into the world of Waldorf crafting. It has helped me connect with my child’s school and community.
I appreciate that Jessica's tutorials are thorough and that she always includes a materials list and resources to purchase them.
I also appreciate the filming-lighting, sound, voice, direction, editing-prepared and articulate, but also real and approachable.
I would tell someone who is considering joining that their monthly subscription is helping a young and independent family live an authentic life full of beauty and purpose.
I’d also tell them to buy their subscription a few months BEFORE birthday gifting, homeschool planning, holiday gift giving, etc in order to buy materials and give enough time to watch and make their toys. There are a TON of amazing tutorials and you’ll want to do more than originally planned."

"I love that the tutorials are very detailed"
I feel you've put a lot of time and effort into your toy making activities. I love that the tutorials are very detailed.
I think they're great for beginners. I'm a retired Steiner kindergarten teacher with handwork experience, so I don't need a lot of detail but I can easily skip through them.
There's a variety of projects suited for beginners as well as more advanced."

"I am not just making toys for my children. I am creating and learning WITH them. This is the real magic!"
"Toymaking Magic has truly helped strengthen my connection with my children as they are getting older and coming into themselves.
Jessica has created a space to keep imagination alive.
My family is in the process of moving states and while in limbo we have been staying in hotel rooms. My 3 children (ages 9, 6, and 2) and I have found wonder, connection, and Magic through making the felt food toys. It has saved our sanity and reminded us to slow down during this bustling time!
Though my Nanny taught me how to sew when I was 9 I still consider myself a baby beginner.
Jessica has made the tutorials simple, clear, and easy to understand and follow along!
If you are considering signing up for Toymaking Magic, do it! Seriously get away from the TV and other distractions, take a deep breath, and connect with your children!
Toymaking Magic has allowed me to connect with my children on a completely different level. I am not just making toys for them. I am creating and learning WITH them. This is the real magic!"

"Jessica makes the most beautiful creations feel attainable"
My daughters adore what I’m making and I haven’t had this much fun in such a long time! I just made the dollhouse today. It didn’t even take me 2 hours and I know my daughters will spend years playing with it.
