ABOUT ARTISAN ISLAND

At Artisan Island, we love celebrating the natural creativity and curiosity of kids to spend time building, learning, exploring and creating their own imaginative worlds and adventures!
This is why we are dedicated to providing children with educational wooden toys that are designed for imaginative and active play.

“Play, is the work of the child.” – Maria Montessori

Inspired deeply by the concepts of Maria Montessori, Artisan Island was founded on the principles of ‘hands-on learning’. As educators and parents, we understand how important it is that we occupy our kids hands and minds with fun, creative and educational toys that will help nurture them into well-rounded, intelligent and independent adults. .

This is why we design our own toys that are safe for children and inspire kids to play, learn and most importantly, have fun!

All our products help support Sri Lanka’s environment and talented artisan communities. Our toys are made using only sustainable raw materials like rubber wood, non-toxic paints and ethical manufacturing standards.

At Artisan Island, we don’t just make great toys – we create memories, experiences and adventures that will last a lifetime!
