Absolutely. Our amigurumi animals and dolls are popular first birthday and toddler gifts — sturdy enough for everyday play but soft enough to cuddle. Many children hold onto their favourite crochet toy as a keepsake well into their older years.

Yes. All our newborn toys are designed with tightly secured stitching and no loose parts, making them suitable for supervised play from birth. We use 100% cotton yarn, natural wooden rings where applicable, and construction that meets Australian safety standards. As with all baby toys, adult supervision is recommended.

Handmade crochet toys made from cotton yarn with tight stitching and no plastic components are generally safe for newborns under supervision. Our toys use embroidered features rather than plastic eyes which eliminates choking hazards. We always recommend supervised play for babies under 12 months with any soft toy.

Our toys are designed for supervised play. For safe sleep, we recommend following current safe-sleep guidelines and keeping cots free from loose toys and objects while baby is unsupervised.

Our stuffed animals are made with soft, washable cotton surfaces that hold up well to teething. Always supervise little ones during play, but the materials are baby-safe and designed to handle curious gums.

We primarily use soft cotton yarn, quality stuffing, and smooth wooden rings for rattles. This keeps textures gentle on little hands and mouths, and makes them easy to hold and comfortable to cuddle.

Our toys are made with secure stitching and firmly attached details so they don’t shed stuffing or have easily removable pieces. As with any baby product, we recommend regular checks and adult supervision during playtime.

The varying textures of crochet stitches, soft stuffing, and wooden rings make our toys excellent for gentle sensory exploration. Babies and toddlers can grip, chew, and cuddle while engaging with the different feels of handmade yarn and natural materials.

Most of our crochet toys can be gently hand washed in cool water with a mild detergent, then laid flat to dry. Avoid tumble dryers and hot water — these can cause shrinkage or distort the shape. For a more detailed guide, read our full crochet toy care guide on the blog.

Every toy in our store is handmade in small batches by skilled artisans — so no two are exactly the same. We focus on soft cotton yarn, secure stitching, and thoughtful design. Unlike factory-made toys, ours carry real character and the story of the person who made them.

Handmade toys are made one at a time by a skilled artisan rather than stamped out by a machine. This means tighter construction, more durable stitching, and genuine character in each piece. No two handmade toys are exactly identical. They also tend to be made from natural materials like cotton yarn rather than synthetic plastics, which makes them safer for babies and better for the environment.

Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting small stuffed animals and figures. The word combines the Japanese words for knitted and stuffed toy. Each piece is worked in the round using a crochet hook to create three dimensional shapes that are then stuffed and finished by hand. At The Wishlist Store every amigurumi is made by skilled artisans using cotton yarn.

Fair trade in toys means the artisans who make them are paid a fair wage for their work, have safe working conditions, and are not exploited by middlemen or large manufacturers. At The Wishlist Store our toys are made through a certified fair trade arrangement where every purchase directly supports the income of the artisan who made it.

Custom colours or animals may be possible depending on our makers’ current schedule and yarn availability. Get in touch with what you have in mind and we’ll let you know if we can make it happen.

Because our toys are handmade, some styles sell out quickly and take time to restock. If a piece you love is unavailable, contact us for an estimated restock date or we can suggest a similar toy that’s ready to ship right now.
