CRITTERS AND THINGS

Quality Handmade Crocheted Toys and Gifts

Crochet is slowly becoming a lost art in the 21st century. When we were young (I'm talking in the 60s, 70s and 80s) it wasn't uncommon to have handmade clothes and toys, created by a creative grandparent or parent. As the world has evolved into the land of plastic, it's so rare to see quality, handmade toys anymore.

We are preserving the art of crochet by offering quality handmade toys and gifts, a beautiful way to connect with the past and create lasting, meaningful items for today's generation. We use 100% cotton yarn wherever possible, it's durable and strong and certainly made to last.

We invite you to browse our lovingly New Zealand made handcrafted crocheted toys that your children and theirs will be treasured for generations.
