Introducing Kringle Toy Makers: Handmade Christmas Magic That Gives Back All Year Long

Just a snowballs toss from Santa Claus Indiana lies a small workshop warmed by love and the glow of holiday cheer, magic is being made—one handcrafted toy at a time.

Welcome to Kringle Toy Makers, the newest division of The Santa Claus Fellowship, where every creation is a gift from the heart—and for the heart.

Based in the charming village of Ferdinand, Indiana, Kringle Toy Makers brings together old-world craftsmanship, timeless Christmas traditions, and a mission of joy that lasts well beyond December.

What Is Kringle Toy Makers?

Kringle Toy Makers is a nonprofit workshop rooted in tradition, imagination, and generosity—where every Christmas ornament and festive decoration is handmade by Kristofer C. Kringle himself.

Inspired by the spirit of Santa Claus and the joy of giving, each piece is lovingly crafted from wood, often using reclaimed or repurposed materials. No two items are ever the same, and each is designed to spark wonder and bring smiles to children and families across the region.

But Kringle Toy Makers is more than a workshop—it’s part of a movement to restore the magic of Christmas all year long. Every creation supports The Santa Claus Fellowship’s mission to serve children, lift up communities, and preserve the timeless values of kindness, craftsmanship, and giving without expectation.

With every curl of wood shavings and every carefully carved figure, Kringle Toy Makers reminds us that the best gifts are made by hand—and given with heart.

But these aren't just decorations—they’re gifts that give back. Proceeds benefit local nonprofits and community partners, helping children and families feel the warmth of the season no matter the time of year.

Each creation tells a story—some are carved from reclaimed wood, others inspired by forgotten traditions. All are filled with care and the kind of magic only Santa himself could craft.
