"Bushbabies" Tui child

Lovingly hand-stitched from my own hand-felted merino fabric , this Steiner style toy is based on a beloved New Zealand bird. The black, pure NZ wool felt has silk embedded into it, and it shines like a real tui with streaks of greens and violets.
Length from tail to beak; 16cm.

My “Bush Babies” reflect NZ flora and fauna and are made from handblended merino wool, felted and lovingly handstitched to my own pattern. They have a wire inner and are poseable . Angora curls for hair and cotton hands and faces embroidered with simple features so that a child can imagine any emotion ; in the Rudolph Steiner style. They are meant for gentle play , or for a nature display table in your home. Not recommended for children under 3 yrs of age.
