Hippopotamus needle felted toy, Miniature Kawaii Art, Original buying Felted Toy, Wild animal sculpture, Cute Fantasy Creature, Entertaining Gift

Do you love adorable animals? Do you follow every hippopotamus account on Instagram? Then this palm-sized felted friend is exactly what you didn't know you needed!

This felted baby hippo is a beautiful collectible that will brighten up your home or office décor. It is also a fun and thoughtful gift for the animal-lover in your life.

This toy is needle felted by hand using natural, eco-certified sheep's wool from New Zealand complete with handmade felted and knitted accessories. It is constructed buying around a sturdy wire carcass. I strive to keep my carbon footprint at a minimum and use animal-friendly materials – I never use animal leather or fur in any of my toys.

This toy is not intended for children under 5.
