☀️ A druid was a member of the high-ranking class in ancient Celtic cultures (today's UK, parts of France, and Germany). Perhaps best remembered as religious leaders, they were legal authorities, adjudicators, lore keepers, medical professionals, and political advisors.

🍂🍁 Ancient Celtic cultures celebrated New Year on November 1. For them, Halloween marked the end of summer, the harvest season, and the beginning of the cold and dark winter. ❄️
So, in every village, Halloween was celebrated with big feasts, during which the villagers took a small part of their crop to the Druid to throw it in a huge sacred bonfire and to ask for protection for the villagers during the long winter. True story :)

🌳 Part of a larger set of Halloween toys, the Druid is hand-crafted from solid Sycamore maple from Romanian domestic forestry. So as a bonus, you get a Halloween wooden toy from the land of vampires.

🌈 Playing with these beautiful Halloween toys, children will immerse themselves into long-gone worlds of legends, wicked (or nice) witches, and magical creatures. They will re-live medieval legends and stories.

Our wooden figures are hand-crafted in Romania. Each product is a unique item individually shaped with love and care. Thus, our Waldorf toys allow children to immerse themselves in the vivid imaginative world of play.

🎨 All our wooden figures are painted with non-toxic, water-based colors. In addition, all materials used in our toys are certified. They guarantee toys of the highest quality and safety for your child at play.

Did you know that reading stories with your children helps their development in many ways, promotes bonding, and helps build your relationship?

What you need to know about our toys

All products are handmade.

Our toys are inspired by the natural environment and influenced by the Waldorf or Montessori pedagogies.

The wood we use comes from sustainable forestry holdings.

All our colors and oils are certified according to EN 71 and CPSIA/ASTM 963 toy safety standards.

We care about our planet. We pack our toys in simple cardboard boxes or jute pouches that can be recycled or reused.

Knots, patterns, and rich grain colors are part of the natural beauty of wood and are not faults. Larger toys (rainbow stackers, for instance) are cut from a single block of wood, and you'll often see the same features continuing through the various pieces. These unique variations are proof of quality, not defects.
