Why it lasts.

We carry the Fairyshadow leaf necklaces because a child will wear a story they can hold. The leaf and its bug are sewn by hand, and the soft cord has a break-away clasp for safety; there is nothing printed or plastic to wear out. It is small, well made, and the kind of keepsake a child moves from pocket to windowsill to treasure box over the years.

Who it's for

Ways to play.

Lift the love bug out of its leaf to play, then tuck it back in and wear it on the soft cord. Slip the leaf into a pocket for the day, add it to a small-world scene, or hang it somewhere special. Remove the necklace before active play.

It pairs with the other Fairyshadow critters and flower babies for gentle, open-ended stories.

Details

Materials & construction

Each Fairyshadow leaf necklace is sewn and finished by hand in a small studio in Bodega, California, in limited batches. The little love bug is made of cotton knit fabric, a cotton and polyester blend, over a wooden base, with a face drawn by hand in permanent, non-toxic ink. He lifts out of a leaf pocket made from 100% wool felt, strung on a 22 inch satin cord with a break-away clasp. Choose from teal, turquoise, purple, raspberry pink, red, orange, and golden yellow.

Colors follow what is on hand, so the exact shade may vary slightly.

Small parts. 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.
