| Felted wool play lands, all original designs not found anywhere else! Each set is needle felted by hand from 100% wool with no wire armature or other supports (unless noted in the description). I am a thorough, meticulous felter and take hours to firm and harden each piece so they will stand up to child's play. If you have concerns about durability with particularly rough child's play please contact me with questions or concerns and I can help steer you toward an appropriate play set. Please remember all of my needle felted toys are made with lots of love, care and thoroughness. However, it may still be possible for a small child to tug, pull or gnaw off pieces of wool if they were determined. And, some pieces of wool, especially curly locks, can be fairly sizeable and thus, may pose a choking hazard, as can some of the other fine detailing on these sets. For these safety reasons these toys are NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN WHO STILL PUT TOYS AND OBJECTS INTO THEIR MOUTHS. |
All of the sets pictured
here are available for

| All playscapes are made to order and are generally ready to ship 5 - 10 days after receipt of payment. For ordering info, go to "How to Order." All of these playscapes are one-of-a-kinds and even when I set out to copy a design no two ever come out alike. That's just the nature of wool and the specialness of human hands doing the work of creation. I try to capture the look and feel of each design when making your order but making exact copies is not possible (that's what factory-made Wal Mart toys are for!). Custom playscapes are available at NO EXTRA CHARGE. Just give me a call and you can pick your favorite elements to combine into the perfect set for your child. |
Fairy Tale Tree $120
This majestic tree makes for a truly magical centerpiece to your seasonal table.
It is bright, colorful, earthy and ethereal, all at the same time. The felted
earth is firm and sturdy and is an inviting place for outdoor treasures from the
garden and for little wee folk and critters to inhabit. The leaf canopy is soft and
delicate, giving the piece that fairy tale feel.
The permanent leaf canopy is gently wound fleece (combinations of wool, silk and
mohair) and would NOT be suitable for handling by children. I suggest directing
the attentions of little ones to the earthy ground and teaching them to focus their
play there. This tree can serve as a year round base for your nature table and a
great repository for all of those acorns, stones, shells and dried flowers that
make their way in from the garden. A wonderful way to cultivate awareness of
the seasons for children. If you like, little bendy gnomes are available for this
set at a cost of $5 each.

Treehouse Party Pavilion
This is a treehouse in the literal sense.
Growing right out of the base of this
stately tree is a lovely little cottage that
has an actual rooftop garden. The rooftop
pavilion is accessible through a ladder
coming up the side of the building (see side
photo). The pavilion features colorful
flowers growing on a vine up the side of the
tree and a nice little railing for party
safety! The grounds surrounding the
cottage include a pond and lots of wonderful
woolen stepping stones.
The permanent leaves on the tree feature
a removable bird’s nest with tiny little
bluebird eggs in it. And the branches at
the top of the tree are made of sturdy
bendable wire (nicely covered in wool, of
course) allowing the woolen “leaves” of the
tree to be arranged according to your child’
s whims. This set includes all of the items
described here and TWO BENDY GNOMES
(NOT four as pictured). I will choose
gnome colors for you. Playmat is
approximately 15 inches square.
To create the airy, light look of the tree
leaves the wool has only been lightly
felted. Thus, this set is more appropriate
for an older child who can take care while
playing in the treetop.

There is a seasonal decoration pack available for
this treehouse set for an additional charge of
$10. The pack includes some rust/brown wool to
layer over the green when fall rolls around each
year and some white wool to layer on when Jack
Frost arrives in winter. These additional colors
can be added in the appropriate season and then
removed for the next season, thus bringing the
change of seasons more fully into your child’s
consciousness.

Family Homestead
This sweet playland features a tall roomy house

landscape is unique with its bucolic rolling hills and bits
of rocky ground poking through, most like the Irish
seaside? Maybe this set is best suited for fairy folk!

| The Mother Tree $135 The mother of all trees. Stout and strong she stands with a hollow top that allows animals and gnomes to make a home with her. Features meticulous hand-sculpted bark. She sits on a circular mat covered in bright, spring green grass, with a little pond and some colorful mushrooms dotting her landscape. The circular mat allows several different play areas for children's attention. This tree would be great as a nature table centerpiece. Your children can display all their garden treasures around her base: rocks, dried flowers, sticks, acorns, seashells, etc. The current version of this Tree features an updated design for the grass. Instead of this fluffy, airy grass the Tree will have a smooth, tight grass surface similar to those you see in Family Homestead and Gnarled Root Playscape. This set comes with 2 bendy gnomes. I will select the gnome colors for you. It also includes a cheerful flower blossom attached to the top of the tree. |
| Root Wonderland $150 Ever wonder what goes on in the earth where roots meet ground? Here's a little hint at the possibilities. All those nooks and crannies at the base of a tree are perfect homes for creatures of all kinds. In this case some little gnomies have set up camp. Two massive tree roots meet at the tree base and form a tunnel, in which live our little friends. There's a little pass-through hole on the top side of the tree for the gnomes to use as a skylight or secret exit. There's a sweet stream and cute mushrooms to round out this dreamland. This set comes with 2 bendy gnomes (NOT 3 as shown). I will select the gnome colors for you. |

Where the Root Children Sleep
This is the mother of all playhouses!! Hefty and sturdy, it will hold up to all kinds of active play. It’s
constructed of solid wool, all the way through (no wire armature) and weighs in at a hefty one+ pound!!
The mushroom pavilion roof is removable, to allow easy access to the living quarters below and to provide
a secondary play area that’s portable as the roof itself makes an excellent party area and evokes a
fungal forest feeling. The inside of the house is the perfect place for root children to sleep away the
long winter. The door to their home is plenty tall, to allow visitors and playmates (gnomes, fairies,
pixies, elves, etc.) of all sizes to enter. And, when they’re awake, what a great place to play! This set
includes a portable campfire, allowing children to place it in the most important places for winter warmth
or summer campouts.
