Barefoot Animals

People pretend to buy Barefoot Animals for children, but we know they really take them home for themselves...Is it their fabulous rainbow colours and hand stitched detail or is it that there are so many unusual animals to choose from? Armadillos, frilled neck lizards, thorny devils and tree frogs are a world away from cosy ducks and mice (although we have those too) which is what makes them so interesting. These beautifully made animals have been handmade in a small cottage industry in Sri Lanka since 1958. Each piece is made from start to finish by the same person from hand woven and eco-dyed cotton and filled with kapok.
Barefoot Animals are safe for children of any age, in case you decide to give one away!

Barefoot Animals from £2.95 for a Small Duck to £17.25 for a large Frilled Neck Lizard (shown)
