Papoose Toys - Spring Trees (3 Piece Set)

The set has three hand-felted trees in graduated sizes: a large 26cm, a medium 21cm and a small 16cm. Each has a real wooden trunk topped with spring green wool felt, so you get a little grove of fresh seasonal colour for the play table.

They work as scenery for small world scenes, from a springtime forest to a garden or a fairy glade. Children arrange them with animals, gnomes or fairies and build open stories, moving the three sizes around to create depth and distance in the landscape.

Every trunk is cut from real wood, so it carries natural twists, knots, splits and markings, and no two are identical. These characteristics are part of the handmade nature of the trees rather than faults, and they give each set its own character.

They sit alongside the other seasonal trees such as the Summer Trees and Winter Trees, and mix well with felt gnomes and toadstools. Building a collection of open ended toys lets children change the scene with the seasons.

Follow wool cleaning care. Spot clean the felt tops gently by hand and let them air dry, keeping them away from soaking or machine washing. The wooden trunks only need an occasional wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth to keep them looking their best.

Yes. They are hand-stitched from 100% wool that is dyed with non-toxic colourfast dyes, then finished by hand. They are made under Fairtrade conditions by skilled crafters in Nepal, which is why small differences in colour and shape appear from piece to piece.

Arranging and rearranging the trees encourages imagination and storytelling as children invent landscapes and seasons. Handling the different sizes supports fine motor control, while open setups give plenty of room for language, sequencing and cooperative play with siblings or friends.
