This large organic felt wool block is wonderful as a first toy for babies. The block is soft and easy to grasp, with a contemporary cinnamon orange and dots pattern and an amusing rattle inside, which makes it fun to shake, squeeze and stack with other blocks.

Made from organic hand-felted, dyed and sewn wool by artisans in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Wool outer shell, synthetic foam fill (used to encourage faster drying and prevent mold growth).

we love this company because:
The playful world is a toy company created to provide today's children with unique, custom designed toys that are handcrafted by artisans in less developed areas of the world and purchased under fair trade agreements.

The company was formed when Katharine, a new mom, found herself brainstorming ideas with colleagues and friends. The daughter of an airline pilot, she started exploring business ideas that could merge her appreciation of diverse cultures with the fun and innocence of her little boy Wes.

But Katharine couldn't do this alone - she needed a day-to-day partner to make the idea a reality. In comes Alexandrea. A San Francisco Bay Area native, she chased love to Bellingham, leaving a successful marketing career behind. Together, with the ongoing support from a few local and valuable advisors, they set out to form a little business, have some fun, and try to do some good in the process...we love that!
