Nurture Your Child's Imagination with Your Handmade Toys!

Step-by-Step Tutorials and a Community of Creative Mamas Await You!

Imagine the joy on your child's face as they play with a toy crafted by your own hands.

Toymaking Magic offers you the transformative experience of turning natural materials into cherished toys that spark your child’s imagination and bring comfort and joy.

No longer will you be dreaming and longing to provide your child with the natural toys that you know are best; instead, you’ll be creating them yourself, handmade treasures that are infused with love and care.

A Toymaking Journey

This journey will not only enhance your creative skills but also deepen the bond between you and your child, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

With my step-by-step video tutorials and our supportive community, you’re never alone in your crafting journey.

Oh hey! I’m Jessica.

Back when my children were very little and I was at the start of my journey as a Waldorf-inspired mom, what lit me up the MOST was the thought of providing  my children with handmade natural toys!

I desperately wanted to dive in and start making toys but I couldn’t find any video resources that helped me! I felt like I had to buy a pricey book for each craft that interested me and the books left me with so many questions that I ended up wasting my time and materials.

I decided to create the resource that I wished had already existed for me: step-by-step video tutorials that cover every detail for how to make allll the enchanting waldorfy-crafts! 

I’ve done all the struggling so that you don’t have to.

How many times have you experienced hair-pulling frustration trying to understand vague instructions?

How many times have you abandoned projects and wasted materials because you got stuck?

With Toymaking Magic tutorials you can put those frustrations behind you.

“The videos are extremely detailed with a slow and steady pace that is exactly how I best learn. I love that you show/talk about your own mistakes and struggles and how to fix them.” – Chenoa

Happy Toymakers

The tutorials and projects are wonderful; every detail for completing them is explained with great care, step by step, which makes projects that were previously very difficult for me now possible.

Your tutorials are like having a good friend working next to me that I can see how to move through the tricky parts. There is not a level of perfection, just enjoyment of the process and a wonderful surprise when you finish of a beautiful toy that the children love to play with. Your tutorials are gentle, encouraging, set at a wonderful pace, well dictated and easy to follow.

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!

Toymaking Magic has been such an amazing experience! I’ve learned so many new skills, and the tutorials are super easy to follow. Jessica and the whole Toymaking Magic community is so supportive and encouraging. My kiddo absolutely loves playing with the toys I made, which makes it all so rewarding. I loved it so much, I’m doing it again!

I’ve always wanted to get into handcrafts but have felt so intimidated. You make the most beautiful creations feel attainable. Working through some of your projects has already given me so much confidence and inspiration to now branch out into ideas of my own. I truly cannot express what a gift your work has been for me. My daughters adore what I’m making and I haven’t had this much fun in such a long time! Thank you, thank you.

Toymaking Magic has changed my life, truly. I’ve developed handwork skills, found a creative practice, and experienced the deep fulfilment in giving my children handmade toys. My children have certainly benefited from seeing me complete these projects start to finish, working through the struggles along the way. It’s been such a meaningful way to model will-building for them!
REBECCA

I absolutely love the step by step tutorials and the care that Jessica has put into each toy making experience. Every tutorial is as detailed as the next. I love having the opportunity to watch the tutorials over and over and being able to follow along at the same time while you are creating is what makes toymaking magic.

Jessica clearly works so hard on creating these tutorials. So far I have made a toadstool house, a pretend fishing set which gets played with constantly by my 3 and 7 year olds, we’ve made felt, I made the Michaelmas dragon too and I’ve got SO many compliments over it and I can’t take all the credit when Jessica gives you so much information to help make it! Really love Toymaking Magic!

I truly love Toymaking Magic- it has brought me joy, confidence in my crafting and endless inspiration. Your videos are extremely detailed with a slow and steady pace that is exactly how I best learn. I love that you show/talk about your own mistakes and struggles and how to fix them. You are calm, warm and inviting which makes me feel almost like I am a dear friend or a part of your family. My daughter and I talk about you as if we know you - she’ll ask, “should we watch Jessica?”

What is seasonal membership?

I’m inviting you to join Toymaking Magic for a 3-month season! Whether it’s spring or autumn where you are, there are toymakers from all over—Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Mexico, France, the Netherlands, everywhere!

Just to be clear: seasonal membership doesn’t mean seasonal crafts—Toymaking Magic is all about making toys year-round! I structure the program in seasons to create a container with a clear start and end date, which helps everyone maintain high energy and focus.

You’ll all be starting right now and wrapping up together on the Solstice (June 21, 2025). As the season approaches its end, you’ll get an invitation to continue your toymaking journey in the following season!

There's nothing else like Toymaking Magic...

What makes it unique is how detailed the tutorials are, how carefully selected the projects are and the wide variety of crafts that you can learn to master: sewing, crochet, knitting, needle felting, wet felting, dyeing, paper craft, and woodworking.

It’s your one-stop shop for learning ALL the crafts!

Before I joined I thought it would be more like access to a library of patterns but really it is much more. The videos are so detailed that it is not just like buying a sewing pattern, you have really amazing support. I also loved getting to see what other people make. Very inspiring!

Every Mom Deserves the Opportunity to Create Magical, Handmade Toys

Given the extensive value provided by Toymaking Magic, you might expect to pay a premium price.

However, I believe that every mom deserves the opportunity to create magical, handmade toys for their children. That’s why I’ve priced the membership at just $54 per season.

You could easily spend this much on ONE in-person workshop where you learn how to make one project. But instead you’ll have access to a treasure trove of tutorials that you can watch again and again the whole season long.

When you join today, your one-time payment gives you access to Toymaking Magic through June 21st. As the season ends, you’ll receive an invitation to continue your toymaking journey for the following season!

Toymaking Magic is moving away from the subscription model where the payment is automatic and recurring. I want everyone to be fully committed and HERE for the toymaking! No more unused memberships that quietly drain your account each month.

With a monthly subscription, it’s too easy to keep putting off making the things you really want to make. There’s always tomorrow, next week, next month… right?

Commit yourself to ONE season at a time and make the toys you REALLY WANT TO MAKE! :) Let’s do this!!!!

Don’t wait—this is your moment to shine and create something truly special for your child. 

Join now and start crafting magical, handmade toys today!

Listen, my kids are 8 and 11 and mostly past the stage where they play with my handmade toys.

I didn’t start making toys until my kids were 2 and 5. It was PRIME TIME. I really wish I had started sooner for my eldest child! 

At least I got to witness the difference it made for him to have access to these nurturing, calming toys. 

This precious time is SHORT! If this is something you REALLY want to do, don’t let any more time go by! 

Happy Toymakers - Listen to their Stories!

Common Questions

You will have access to all of the membership content until the solstice on June 21, 2025.

I’m inviting you to join Toymaking Magic for one season.

So depending on where you live in the world, it’s your spring season or it’s your autumn season. 

The purpose of seasonal membership is to create a container that will help us maintain high energy and focus  – so we have a start and an end. 

We are starting right now – all together- at the beginning of the season. We are bringing that group energy, and ending together on the Solstice on June 21, 2025.

Towards the end of the season, you will be invited to join us for the following season so you can continue your toymaking journey!

There are SO many tutorials!! I can’t possibly list them all here! I will list the most popular ones:

  • Felt Food
  • Felt Farm Animals
  • Michaelmas Dragon
  • Dollhouse Dolls
  • Mushroom House
  • Cozy Peg Doll Gnomes
  • Needle Felted Hedgehogs
  • Bean Bags
  • Snail Bands
  • Crochet Crown

And Soooooooo much more!

Seasonal membership does not mean seasonal-themed tutorials. (there are some seasonal tutorials though)

You will have access to every toy tutorial I have ever created!

Remember, you’ll also have access to the collection of BONUS Handwork for Kids tutorials which include wet felting, needle felting, sewing, weaving and finger knitting! 

 

Each tutorial includes a detailed list of what you will need as well as links to where the items can be purchased online.

There are MANY toys you can make with minimal, low-cost materials.

If you are on a tight budget, you can minimize your costs by sticking to just one craft – let’s say sewing. I promise, you don’t need a fully-stocked craft room to start making beautiful toys!

 I get it – you’re a busy mom with a lot on your plate. Between managing household chores, taking care of your little ones, and perhaps even homeschooling,  finding time for crafting can seem daunting. But what if I told you that Toymaking Magic is designed with your busy lifestyle in mind?

The step-by-step tutorials are broken down into manageable segments, making it easy to fit crafting into your schedule, even if you only have a few minutes a day.

 

The toys are ideal for children ages 2-12.

There are a few baby toy projects.

Toymaking Magic tutorials are geared towards adults, however many families have shared that their child LOVES following the tutorials and they have been very successful in making their own toys.

Remember that you are also receiving a BONUS collection of tutorials called “Handwork for Kids.” These tutorials are made for kids and feature various handwork projects geared towards kids ages 7+.

You can make beautiful toys spending as little as 15 minutes each day!

As busy moms, it’s key that we don’t wait for a calm, long stretch of uninterruped time for crafting. It literally might never happen!!

Instead, embrace this season of life and work a little here and there. 

You are going to receive a BONUS training called 7 Time-Efficient Tips for Toymaking!

In this bonus training, you’ll learn tips that will transform your approach to finding time for crafting as a busy mom!

Then you are in the right place! All of the tutorials are created for beginners like you!

You will be AMAZED at what you can create with the right guidance!

“I originally signed up to get the dragon pattern. My son is obsessed. Not only was I able to make him his dragon but I found the instructions easy to navigate and customize. Also I got better at sewing. I’ve been sewing for 25 years so this was a big surprise! There were lots of little tips and tricks that I picked up and I know I’ll use them in the future.” – Lindsey

“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.”

– Leah Woods

“Jessica makes the most beautiful creations feel attainable”

“I just wanted to send you a note and tell you how much I am LOVING Toymaking Magic.

I’ve always wanted to get into handcrafts but have felt so intimidated. You make the most beautiful creations feel attainable.

Working through some of your projects has already given me so much confidence and inspiration to now branch out into ideas of my own.

I truly cannot express what a gift your work has been for me.

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.

Thank you, thank you. Please know the work you do is important!”
