What would you want to hold if you had eight arms like this octopus? How many treats could you grab? What do you think he’d like to carry?

Knitted from Peruvian organic cotton, this little octopus finger puppet has been colored with safe, industrial dyes.

Our puppets are designed for children 3 years and older. The color and design may vary. The price shown is for one puppet.

Simple Toys Spark the Imagination

Play encourages children to invent stories, solve problems and explore ideas using their creativity. Families are rediscovering the joy of simple handmade toys that don't require batteries or flashy buttons. Parents are looking for toys that support a child’s natural ability to imagine, explore, and turn the simplest thing into a world of their own.

As psychologist Peter Gray reminds us, “Children learn best when they are free to play… with materials that don’t prescribe what the play should be.” 

Why We Choose Organic Cotton

We believe toys should bring joy to children while leaving a lighter footprint on the Earth. That’s why we choose organic cotton yarn. It’s one of the best solutions we’ve found for making natural toys while supporting farming practices that are gentler on nature.

Organic farming helps reduce reliance on synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, while supporting healthier soils, biodiversity, and cleaner waterways. That can make a difference not only for the land, but also for the farming communities and ecosystems connected to it.

From the farmers who grow the cotton, to the women who knit each finger puppet, to the children who bring them to life through play, organic cotton is a choice we can feel good about.
