Acorn, established in 2004 by Diane Crespo and Karin Schaefer, carries handcrafted toys that allow children to explore and expand their imaginations. When asked her reason for opening the shop, Diane says, “I want to share what I have learned as a parent about the importance of play by selling toys that foster the creativity and healthy development of children.”

Acorn carries toys with style and substance, beautifully designed and crafted toys from around the world with a focus on European wooden toys, Waldorf dolls, select furniture and mobiles, as well as unique clothing and artwork by New York designers and artists.
