Penguin
This beautiful Penguin is hand made in Sri Lanka from a fair trade group.
I am black, white and have long, soft red flippers. As you can see, I sure am a real character! 

I’m handmade with stunning hand-woven, hand-dyed cloth and am made to be a friend for life! 

I am great for entertaining the kids and helping them make up stories. Although I might be saying it myself, I really am made with exceptional craftsmanship and my quality is second to none.

The other good news is that I can be hand washed using gentle detergent because I’m made with 100% natural cotton fibres and filled with a clever fibre called Kapok that you find in the Tropics, my colours are made with non-toxic Swiss dyes and I never fade in the sun.

Size: 19 cm
