An excellent toy store for all ages, includes puzzles,
board games, and much more
Barbara Kane founded HearthSong in 1983 because of a growing conviction that,
"…too often, in our culture, children are pushed to grow up too fast. I
started HearthSong to make a statement reinforcing what parents themselves
know is true, right and healthy--that childhood is a very special time."
Children need time to be children. Our merchandise selection and
product development goals are inspired by the philosophy of child
development, drawn from a broad base of child psychologists, parents,
religious teachers, toymakers, and educators-especially those from the
Waldorf school of thought. Kane felt strongly that childhood is a unique
period in the life of an individual, that the consciousness of a child is
completely different from that of an adult, that there is a specific purpose
and a specific pattern to childhood and to the development of a child's
consciousness, and that adults can help or hinder the accomplishment of that
purpose and pattern. With a love for children, a reverence for
life, and a desire to support you in your task of parenting, we offer you our
service and our products: toys you'll feel good about giving.
