Channapatna toy caterpillar

We at Spiticart, are proud to present to you one of the historic Indian handicrafts, the toys of Channapatna, Karnataka.

Channapatna toys are handcrafted wooden toys made in Channapatna, India from ivory wood using non-toxic vegetable dyes. The toys come in a variety of shapes and sizes, often inspired by nature, and are known for their bright colors and unique designs. They are eco-friendly and safe for children to play with, and have been awarded the Geographical Indication tag by the government of India.

A platform to showcase India’s rich heritage of arts, handicrafts and unique rural products from across remote parts of our country. These age old craft are largely forgotten in the modern era of fast fashion and cheap mass manufactured products often imported from other nations.

At the heart of our venture are the rural artisans, the custodians of our traditional and age old arts and crafts. At Spiticart, one of our objectives is to empower rural artisans by improving their livelihoods. The artisans bring these amazing products to life and we want to share their unique products to homes across the world and end up leaving a positive impact on their lives. Every purchase you make, will help us take a small step towards this goal.
