SouleMama: Tell us about your beginnings?

NaturalKids: The NaturalKids Team was started by woodmouse in 2007. Early members included fairierebecca, fairiesnest, cozycottage. It was a small group with a small presence on Etsy. Since that time members have come and gone but our mission has stayed the same. To be a group of sellers dedicated to creating natural products for children. We are a diverse group of artisans who make natural toys, utensils, clothing, and accessories for kids. Our sellers work with materials from the Earth, such as wool, cotton, silk and wood. Our goal is to support, promote and have fun together while building our businesses. Our first blog post read as below and it is still true today....

We are a diverse bunch from all over the blog who have at least one thing in common: we all work with natural materials in our products for children. Oh yeah, and we're all pretty darn crafty and talented too! Wool, wood, cotton....just simple materials direct from the Earth.

 So who are we?  

Some of us are mothers of small children.

Some of us are mothers of grown children.

Some of us make dolls, some of us make hats, some of us make toys.

Some of us have been selling our wares for many years.

Some of us are just starting to discover our talents and start selling.

Some of us work with natural materials for environmental reasons.

Some of us work with natural materials as part of the Waldorf educational philosophy.

Some of us work with natural materials because we believe they are healthier and safer.

Some of us just like working with natural materials.

Some of us sell our wares for a living.

Some of us sell our wares as a hobby.

Since that time, some of us are fathers.
