Eggs ~ domestic birds
70,00 €
This beautiful set is perfect for little hands to feel the softness of the wool and to grasp the different sizes and curves of the eggs. Children can have fun rolling them, throwing them, sorting and counting them, and observing the intense colours and stains. And it's always so exciting for the little ones to put something in a basket, empty it and start again!
8 eggs made of Oeko-Tex 100 certified wool felt, high quality and solidly hand sewn in Corsica (France)
Treasures to hide on Easter Day for your children to play with in their kitchens and dinners. Soft eggs to discover which domestic or wild bird they match.
Offer them as a sensory toy, for your child's imitation games and as a beautiful decoration to celebrate spring. Create an opportunity to talk about bird reproduction and the different species, and reinforce your child's natural love of nature.
Please note:
This toy also aims to raise awareness among parents and children about not collecting real bird eggs in the wild.
The eggs are based on eggs from domestic birds:
- blue egg: Ameraucana chicken
- copper red: Poule de Marans
- great white: Cane
- spotted caramel: Quail
- orange: Naked neck chicken
- beige: Faverolle hen "Owl head
- off-white: Araucana white hen
All birds' eggs are different and vary even within the same species. They are not exact representations of real bird eggs, but based on a variety of sizes, shapes, colours and patterns of many different eggs.
Another set of eggs is available here: wild bird eggs.

Caring for woollen toys
One of my toys was mistakenly put in a 30-speed machine with 1000 revolutions and it became very deformed. My felt manufacturer recommends not washing felt.
It's important to remember that wool doesn't retain odours or dust, so all you need to do for routine maintenance is shake the toy or pat it gently. Let it breathe through the window. Wool is not mite-friendly either: it is naturally anti-parasitic and anti-fungal.
Atelier Petites Formes toys don't require any special cleaning unless you really need it. Here's my advice:
For dry dust: vacuum or brush.
For stains, use a damp sponge and Marseille soap or a suitable ecological stain remover. Blot up damp stains immediately.
Not machine washable.
