From age three and up, through the preschool and early primary years. A small keepsake made to wear and to hold.

Why it lasts.

We carry these Fairyshadow critter necklaces because a child will keep a friend they can wear. The mouse is sewn by hand with a hand-drawn face, the leaf pocket is wool felt, and the cord has a break-away clasp for safety. There is nothing printed or plastic to wear out, the kind of small, particular thing a child holds onto for years.

Ways to play.

Details

Materials & construction

Each Fairyshadow critter necklace is sewn and finished by hand in a small studio in Bodega, California, in limited batches. The brown mouse has a cotton knit body over a wooden head, and his face is drawn by hand in permanent, non-toxic ink. He lifts out of a spring-green leaf pocket made from 100% wool felt, strung on a 24 inch satin cord with a break-away clasp.

Because everything is handmade, small details vary a little from one to the next. He holds up to gentle play, though rough handling can wear the skin of his little nose.

Small parts and a cord. Intended for ages 3 and up, and young children should be supervised during play.

Fairyshadow Fairyshadow is a tiny studio on the coast of Northern California, in Bodega, making Waldorf-inspired dolls, ornaments, and critter necklaces by hand. Each piece is sewn and drawn individually in small batches from natural fibers like wool and cotton, in the gentle, open-ended style of Waldorf play. Because they are handmade, every face has its own quiet character and no two are exactly alike. We are proud to carry Fairyshadow at My Toy Wagon for families who love soft, natural, heirloom playthings.
