This is a sensory set at it's best! Waldorf inspired ~ This unique set of wool toy balls, is filled with organic lavender buds. Lavender is a safe, soothing, comforting scent and it will stimulate your baby's sense of smell. These balls are made of pure clean carded sheep wool batting, then wrapped with hand dyed wool roving. I've done this set up in the primary colours, Red, Blue and Yellow. The wool is soft to the touch. They are the perfect size for baby hands to hold. The red and blue wool balls are 6" all the way around. The yellow ball is 5.5". The set stimulates your baby's sense of touch, smell and sight. I will send these toys in the muslin gift bag pictured here. It has a draw string at the top. I have HAND STAMPED this bag with the "ants" that are pictured here and on the other side, I have hand stamped it with a Lady Bug :) Please note that this set is also very suitable for toddlers and pretend play for children as well! ~
I love natural toys that inspire imagination, and toys that do not do the thinking FOR your child, but rather let your child do their own thinking :)
**items with the wool balls are not included, They are my baby boys real toys and I've used them as props only! :). FLYNN the boy waldorf doll however, was purchased from fellow etsy shop: Lemon Drop Dolls(we love him)**
I have created this set using the dry needle felting technique. Each ball is firm and secure. I have carefully needle felted the accents onto each of the balls. The organic lavender inside them is from my local lavender farm, "Lavender Sense", www.lavendersense.com . The wool batting is purchased from a local sheep farm, Cedarview Farms. They are pesticide free, hormone free and free range. They also practice cruelty free sheering. As well, some of the wool roving I've used for this set was purchased from a fellow etsy shop, who hand dyes her wool from her own flock of sheep,~ jstforewe~. The rest of the roving was purchased from a small independent yarn supply store near my home.
Happy play time with your little one!
