Eco Plush Critters

The Handmade Wonder Forest Toy Collection is Magically Adorable

— March 4, 2011 — Eco
Dana Fox is the mastermind behind the adorable handmade Wonder Forest upcycled vintage plushies. The stuffed animals are crafted out of eco-friendly felt that is made from recycled plastic bottles. The animals featured are adorable unicorns, bears, bunnies and owls. The four-leaf-clover lucky pony would make a perfect St. Patty's day gift!

Dana Fox takes custom orders and promises that her plushies will bring a smile to your face. The customer is able to pick out a pattern for whatever animal they like best. The Wonder Forest toys would look darling in a nursery, but according to the Wonder Forest description, it may be better to leave the plushie as a decoration because the small parts may not suitable for young children.
