The snake and mouse are soft and well-made. I love that they’re handcrafted in Nepal and support local artisans. My child enjoys playing with them and they don’t seem to lose their shape easily.
Melanie Gill –
The wool feels natural and the toys are very durable. The lanolin oil makes them feel slightly oily, which is actually pleasant and keeps them from getting dusty.
Sam Peters –
Beautifully crafted and the packaging was thoughtful. My daughter loves the mouse and snake. They are a little heavy for their size, but that’s probably due to the wool quality.
