apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Simple and classic. Nova Natural Toys and Crafts is a nearly 20 year old Vermont-based company that believes in simple. "open-ended" toys which encourage self-expression and free children to follow their imaginations. They also believe in using natural materials that are safe for children and the environment and the majority of their products are made of wood.

Nova Natural is a web-based store (though you're invited to call ahead and plan a visit) and they carry a wide variety of toys and crafts - art supplies, books, musical instruments, puzzles, blocks...see some of our favorites below.
