Create a peaceful, dream-filled space with our Counting Sheep Felt Mobile, a beautifully handmade nursery piece designed to calm and comfort. Featuring a soft, entirely felted hoop with gently floating sheep, this mobile adds a whimsical touch to any crib side, play corner, or nursery nook.

Important Safety Note: Hang securely and completely out of reach of babies and young children. This is for decor purposes only, not a toy.

Material: 100% natural New Zealand wool; zero synthetics or plastic components.
Origin: Ethically handmade in Nepal under fair trade conditions.
Giving Back: A portion of every sale goes directly to the Nepal Children's Education Fund to fund full school tuition for the artisans' children.
Design: Features a unique wool felt hoop frame with soft, 3D needle-felted sheep floating gently alongside neutral cloud and bead accents.

Visual Tracking & Focus: The slow, rhythmic spinning of the floating sheep engages newborn eyes, helping to strengthen optical muscles and encourage early visual tracking.
Sensory Soothing & Sleep Prep: Serving as a gentle visual anchor, the soft textures and minimalist design provide a calming, under-stimulating focal point that signals to busy minds it is time for rest.
Early Spatial Awareness: Helps infants naturally perceive depth and three-dimensional space as the detailed, handmade characters turn softly against a static background.
Auditory & Language Association: Provides a lovely storytelling prompt for parents to introduce classic nursery rhymes, counting sequences, and gentle farmyard tales during dynamic bedtime routines.
Emotional Security: The presence of a familiar, comforting visual routine in the nursery supports emotional self-regulation and helps little ones smoothly transition from alert play to deep sleep.

Maintenance: Gently dust with a soft brush or shake out light dust. Spot clean wool elements with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, taking care not to pull the delicate hanging strings.
Drying: Air dry in a shaded area. Do not tumble dry or submerge the felt hoop frame in water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our finger puppets are ethically handcrafted using 100% natural New Zealand wool. They are coloured using non-toxic, azo-free dyes, making them safe for children and kind to the planet.

Each puppet is lovingly handmade by skilled artisans in Nepal through fair-trade, family-run workshops. This support helps provide sustainable income and empowers women’s co-operatives in the region.

Because each piece is individually needle-felted by hand, no two puppets are exactly alike. You may notice slight variations in size, expression, or colour, which adds to the unique charm and character of your handmade toy.

We recommend our finger puppets for children aged 3 years and older.

While the puppets are soft and made from natural materials, they should only be used by children under 3 years old with close adult supervision. This is to ensure safety and to prevent any potential choking hazards should fibers become loose over time.

Finger puppets are powerful tools for open-ended play. They support:

Language Skills: Encouraging oral storytelling and vocabulary building.
Fine Motor Skills: Developing finger independence and coordination.
Social-Emotional Growth: Practicing empathy, social cues, and role-playing.
Sensory Processing: Providing a tactile, grounding experience through the natural texture of wool.

Wool is naturally dirt-repellent, but if a cleaning is needed:

Spot clean only using a damp cloth and a very mild soap.
Do not submerge them in water or put them in a washing machine, as this will cause the wool to felt further and lose its shape.
Air dry in a shaded area. Do not tumble dry.

Like a wool sweater, natural friction can cause small fuzz balls to appear over time. You can gently trim these away with a pair of sharp scissors to keep your puppet looking neat.

Yes! They are perfect as chocolate-free Easter gifts, stocking stuffers, birthday party favours, or "quiet bag" toys for travel and restaurants.
