It is one of those weird things that kids gravitate to, like tags and cardboard boxes (not to mention day old Cheerios stuck to the floor). If you want a fresher take on a giraffe toy for a baby or small child, consider this gorgeous handmade toy from Wren Handmade. The body is made from vintage feedsack cotton fabric. Its ears have a dark blue cotton lining and it's stuffed with wool. Wren Handmade is the brainchild of Brooklyn-based Laura Normandin, who recently participated in the craft sale at Martha Stewart’s New York headquarters. You can buy her lovely items on etsy.
