Papoose Toys - Earth Gnomes (7 Piece Set)

The set contains seven little gnomes, each with a wooden body about 11cm tall wrapped in wool felt. They come in seven earthy colours, giving a small family of characters that stand on their own for tabletop and small world play.

As open felt toys the gnomes become whatever a child imagines: a woodland family, shopkeepers, or explorers in a forest scene. Children pair them with trees and toadstools, move them through stories and use the seven colours to tell the characters apart.

They suit any woodland or fairy setup. Stand them among the Pine Trees or Earth Autumn Trees, or add the Toadstool Set to build a small forest world with plenty of characters and scenery.

Small figures like these invite imaginative, narrative play, which supports language and social skills as children voice characters and act out scenes. Picking up and positioning the gnomes also gives practice with fine motor control and gentle, considered handling.

Each gnome is hand-stitched over a wooden body and covered in 100% wool felt dyed with non-toxic colourfast dyes. They are handcrafted under Fairtrade conditions in Nepal, so slight differences in colour and shape are normal and give every gnome its own look.

Follow wool cleaning guidance: spot clean the felt gently by hand and let each gnome air dry, avoiding soaking or machine washing. Because there is a wooden body inside, keep them out of water and store them somewhere dry between play sessions.

Yes. The maker notes these hand-felted pieces please little kids and big kids alike. Younger children enjoy simple character play, while older children add them to more detailed small world scenes and seasonal displays alongside the trees.
