Earthentree is a brainchild of Deepti Shankar, an art historian originally from India now living in Kirkland, USA . She started this company in 2006. Earthentree employs 30 toy makers in Channapatna a rural town near Bangalore, India which is known as toy town of Karnatka. Channapatna toys have a long history. There are references of these traditional toys during the rule of Tipu Sultan.
Earthentree has put in lots of efforts in terms of design , concept and safety to make these traditional toys popular. Their toys certainly have universal appeal . Three cheers for Earthentree for restoring the folk toys art of India and helping artisans improving their lives!!!!
