Step into our store and enter a vibrant world of tranquility, wonder, exploration, and creativity!
Timeline:2005: Meadowlark Toys was conceived by a collective of families at Green Meadow Waldorf School in Chestnut Ridge, New York, to offer a local retail source for toys made of natural materials that encourage creative play, in keeping with Waldorf education. Our selection of children’s books was curated to honor similar ideals, highlighting stories to encourage children’s emotional growth and sense of wonder. Our craft books and supplies offer inspiration and natural materials for your projects.
2006: Meadowlark Toys expands its selections to include responsibly made gifts for all ages from craftspeople around the world.
2010: Meadowlark merged with Sunbridge College Bookstore, incorporating Waldorf educational resources and other anthroposophical treasures that support local and visiting teachers and families.
2012: Cuppa Pulp Booksellers represents a further expansion into the best in trade fiction and nonfiction. The Writer’s Space offers writer’s resources, including in-store texts, wifi for Internet research, events for writers, and a seasonal book club.
Mission:We strive to meet the needs of our customers for:
• carefully sourced, natural toys, craft supplies, and gifts;
• foundational and innovative anthroposophical research, commentary, and literature; and
• for trade fiction and nonfiction that both challenges and entertains.
Our plans this year include a new online store, which will include selections from the whole store–toys, gifts, and anthroposophical resources from Meadowlark and Sunbridge, as well as trade fiction non-fiction, and writer’s resources from Cuppa Pulp.
