Native American
Games & Crafts
Native American girls and boys played with toys and games
that helped them learn tribal traditions and beliefs. Their
parents and grandparents made small baskets, pump drills,
medicine pouches, god's eyes and toy canoes for the children
to enjoy.
They also taught the children to learn the basics of
crafting, both for childhood enjoyment and for the necessity
of daily tribal life. Dolls were made by young and old alike,
from materials such as cornhusks and animal skins. They also
wove cornhusk mats, made toy tepees and bead rings.
Although these days seem to be long past, Homestead Folk
Toys hopes, by providing a wide variety of crafts, toys and
games,that Native American culture will be continually passed
from one generation to the next, each recreating this colorful history.
