Papoose Toys Strawberry House + Mat

The Strawberry House comes with its own little mat, so the house has a ready-made base to sit on. It is a whimsical, cosy home shaped like a strawberry, hand-stitched with fine details including plump strawberries hanging from its pitched roof.

It is beautifully handcrafted in Nepal from 100% wool and hand-stitched with careful detailing. Because it is made by hand, each house has its own small variations, so the finish and features differ slightly from one piece to the next.

As open ended toys the house and mat become a cosy home for fairy folk or small creatures. The welcoming door lets fairies climb inside, so children can move figures in and out, set up a garden scene on the mat and invent their own stories.

Yes, it has a welcoming door so that fairies or small figures can climb inside. This opening turns the house into more than a decoration, giving children a way to tuck characters away, have them come and go and play out little comings and goings at home.

The house is hand-stitched with fine details, including plump strawberries hanging from its pitched roof. These touches give it a warm, storybook look and make it a charming centrepiece for a fairy garden or a small world nature scene.

Papoose lists it for preschoolers aged three to six and for older children and adults aged six and over. Younger children enjoy the cosy pretend play, while older ones and adults appreciate it as a detailed handmade piece for a play scene or shelf.

As a 100% wool piece it is best cared for with gentle spot cleaning using a damp cloth rather than machine washing. Keeping it out of heavy moisture and letting it air helps the felted shape, roof detail and strawberries hold their form over time.
