We receive frequent requests, particularly from small Waldorf-inspired crafts and toy businesses, to be added to this page. All of the businesses on this page are ones that we feel we can recommend through personal experience. Unfortunately we do not have the time to fully assess all the requests that come our way so we have started a second page of internet links: remember, these are not specifically recommended by Christopherus Homeschool Resources but just because we haven't recommended them doesn't mean they aren't great resources!
