Today’s giveaway is brought to you by Wooly Moss Roots Sponsor- Jupiter’s Child.

Jupiter’s Child has a beautiful selection of natural toys and goods for children. They are a small company run by two women- Beth and Becky, who established and ran a successful Waldorf school store.

I love their Peace Chicken design on their t-shirts and all their books look wonderful. Plant color crayons, decorating wax (for decorating candles, how fun is that?), jump ropes… so many good things!

You can stay in touch with Jupiter’s Child on Facebook.

I’ll let Beth tell you more.

 How did your business come to be?

Beth: We are two friends who have always dreamt of making a living doing what we love the most. Becky, who is our rope-dyer, has a background in textiles and fiber arts; she also was instrumental in starting a Waldorf school store. Beth (that’s me) loves woodworking and makes the wooden toys and is a bit of a computer geek. We both love working with natural materials and have the same drive to make things. Three years ago we decided to pool our talents and Jupiter’s Child was launched! We’ve had great success on Etsy and now on our own website, and haven’t looked back.

Are you excited about anything new you’re working on? 

Beth: Yes! We are about to introduce our new line of jump ropes with wooden handles. These will be much the same as our current jump ropes–all cotton, hand-dyed–but since they will not be hand-spliced, we will be able to offer them for a more economical price. We will continue to carry our spliced ropes, which are the original Waldorf playground ropes.

Also, we will soon be making dog leashes! We are hoping to expand the scope of our business to include family pets, and the leashes will look a lot like our jump ropes.

Beth: To take an idea from conception to design and to end up with a product that you believe in is quite thrilling. To have other people like it as well is just the icing on the cake. We both enjoy the process of seeing our ideas come to life, and we spend a lot of time working on our new products. We try to create quintessential childhood toys, but with a new twist. So the plain cotton jump rope now has vivid colors; the wooden animals are made from sustainably-harvested wood and are finished with non-toxic organic polish. We send our creations all over the world, and it’s very gratifying to know that others are enjoying them.
