Gems From Before

Gems From Before Gems From Before offers affordable wooden play and learning pieces inspired by nature and the teachings of Waldorf, Montessori and Reggio Emilia. Welcome!

I hope you enjoy this beautiful world of simplicity and wonder. Our wooden learning pieces are inspired by nature and the teachings of Waldorf and Montessori. They encourage open ended play so that children can explore their world with wonder, imagination and creativity. The colors are obtained using food grade dye and sealed with my handmade beeswax polish, however they are not meant to be gummed

by teething infants or children. Because natural minded learning should be affordable and accessible, I offer simple and minimal packaging that is earth friendly and keeps my price affordable for you. The pride and joy of my shop is - the 'Swarmlovin'' Beeswax Polish.' It's made from local raw beeswax from 'Swambustin' Honey'' in West Grove, PA. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Sometimes I forget I have an endless supply of the most magical potion to bring life back to any wood or leather surface. I used my Swarmlovin’ Salve on all my leather purses a few months ago and my Depression era Waterfall Bedroom Set today. Here’s a BEFORE & AFTER of the dresser mirror we repurposed for the bathroom vanity. 🐝
