Ships late September.. We will email you the moment it ships.

Three cartons with the straws already in them: green apple, orange, purple grape. Each straw is felted wool wound into a tube, bent at the top the way a real one bends, standing up on its own with no wire inside.

Three drinks is enough to set a table, and somebody has to decide who gets the orange. Each fruit is built onto the front rather than printed, with the orange segments picked out in white and the grapes as separate felted balls.

Age Recommendations

From age three and up, through the Pre-K and early-primary years. The straws are a small part, so this suits a child past the mouthing stage.

Why it lasts.

Wet and needle felted by hand in Nepal, from premium New Zealand merino wool colored with non-toxic dyes. The straw is the hard part of a juice box, and this one is wound tightly enough to stand and bend on its own. Because the straws hold, the cartons look right sitting out on a shelf between play sessions rather than needing to be put away.

Who it's for

For the parent
You want a straw that stands and bends on its own with no wire inside it, and fruit built onto the carton rather than laid over it.
For the educator
It supports a lunchbox or cafe corner and gives children three flavors to name, choose between and hand out, which is where the talking happens.
For the gift-giver
It arrives in a branded Playtisserie tote with three pieces inside, so it looks like a set rather than a single small thing.

Ways to play.

Three drinks is enough to set a table. Somebody has to decide who gets the orange, and that decision is usually where the play starts.

They go into a lunchbox, onto a picnic blanket, or behind a pretend counter. Because the straws stand up, the boxes look right sitting on a shelf between play sessions rather than needing to be put away.

Details

Materials & construction

Playtisserie felt is designed in Australia and made from one hundred percent natural merino wool sourced in New Zealand. Each design begins as raw wool fiber, colored with non-toxic dyes before it is shaped.

Two techniques build the pieces. In wet felting, water, soap and agitation mat the fibers into a solid form, which is how the cartons and the straws take their body. In needle felting, the fibers are compressed by hand and sculpted with a barbed needle, which is how the fruit is worked onto the front without glue or stitching. Every piece is smoothed and trimmed by hand once it is finished.

Because each piece is shaped rather than cut to a pattern, expect small differences between one and the next in color depth, size and the placement of details. What you receive will not be an exact match for the photograph.

The work is done start to finish by artisans in Nepal. Full qualification takes close to three years of training, and eighty-five percent of the artisans employed are women.

Care & storage

Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and let them air dry standing up. Keep wool felt out of the washing machine, since heat and agitation will shrink and harden it. Store them upright rather than with the straws pressed under heavier toys, since a bent straw will hold the crease. Small parts. Not for children under 3 years, and young children should be supervised during play.

Playtisserie I am Kim, the founder of Playtisserie. I am a mother and a registered dental practitioner with more than fifteen years in pediatric care, and that work taught me a great deal about how children communicate and how they thrive through interaction. I wanted to make beautifully crafted natural toys that invite creativity rather than direct it. Every piece in the collection is handmade from sustainable materials. We work closely with skilled artisans in Nepal, Vietnam and Indonesia, supporting those communities while making sure each item is finished with care. In a world where convenience often crowds out connection, we believe in pretend play. Quality, durability and sustainability guide what we make and how we make it.
