Why it lasts.

We carry Five Little Ducks because counting songs are among the most powerful early numeracy tools we know, and this set makes the counting physical and memorable. Children who act out the rhyme with puppets on their fingers learn the sequence in a way that sticks. They also ask to do it again immediately. That repeat factor is something we look for in every toy we bring in.

Details

Materials & construction

Each piece is crafted from 100% New Zealand wool felt, sourced from GOTS-certified farms. The wool is colored with azo-free, non-toxic dyes and verified under OEKO-TEX Standard 100. Every component, including structural threads and dyes, is cleared of over 100 harmful substances. The finished pieces contain no plastic, no batteries, and no synthetic fill.

These pieces are made in Kathmandu, Nepal, by a cooperative of over 350 women artisans, the majority of whom are mothers. Each is shaped through traditional needle-felting and wet-felting, without molds or machines. The cooperative holds Fair Trade USA certification, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions. Your purchase directly supports the economic independence of the women who made it.

Ways to play

Slip a puppet onto each finger and act out Five Little Ducks, counting from five down to zero as each duckling leaves and comes swimming home at Mother Duck's call. Run the rhyme forwards and backwards across multiple rounds. Use the puppets for free dramatic play between songs, giving each duckling a name and a personality. Pair with the Duck Pond Play Mat Playscape for a full pond scene.

Care & storage

Spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge or machine wash. Air dry flat. Store in a small pouch or basket to keep the set together between sessions.
