This fishing set from Dentdelion on Etsy is made from upcycled wool sweaters, vintage fabric, yarn, canvas & eco-fi felt. The are 4 creatures to catch - an eel, a starfish, a jellyfish & a puffer fish, each is stuffed with wool & holds a magnet which is sewn closed in a pouch then sewn securely to the inside of the fish.
The fishing rod is made of oak, hemp twine & efo-fi felt, the magnet is sewn securely inside the hook.
 
This frog is made from an upcycled cashmere sweater & eco-fi felt.
It is sewn entirely with eco- friendly thread & embroidery floss, the stuffing is natural Kapok fiber which is derived from seed pods of the Ceiba tree.
Did I mention it's pretty excellent? Look at those feet...
 
These bunny rattle/teether's are made from bamboo/organic cotton fleece & the faces are eco- fi felt.
They also each contain metal bells to make them rattle.Stuffed with 100% PLA fiber - which is made from corn... Loving these earth friendly options! I also love pretty much anything made from a bamboo blend, it's so deliciously soft. Perfect for baby toys.
 
The ice cream cone set comes with a waffle cone & with one scoop of chocolate, one scoop of mint ice cream.This set is & all the remaining pictured creations are made of eco-fi felt, with any stuffing used 100% PLA fiber.
The cone & the ice cream scoops all have magnets sewn securely inside them to keep the ice cream in the cone. 
How clever is that. I'm mighty impressed!
 
 
This slice-able apple & pear set has canvas lining the inner sides to help them maintain their shape, magnets are sewn safely inside each half to hold them together... ready to be sliced apart again by little hands.
 
I am just loving the use of magnets as an alternative to velcro, it seems to me that they will last a lot longer, both because there is no chance of them detaching as there is with velcro after lots of love & it also eliminates the wear & tear caused by velcro. Both to that toy & others it comes in contact with.
Dentdelion also makes all these toys in a pet & smoke free environment, which for allergy sufferers is good to know & I certainly prefer my purchases smoke free!
