Regular price $1599

A bright little fish with a gentle jingle and two confetti-dotted wool balls bring color, sound, and quick bursts of movement to every playful catch.


Description

Each Love Ewe toy is hand-felted from certified organic New Zealand wool, creating three distinct ways to play within one small set. The fish brings sound and an easy-to-catch shape, while the dotted balls offer quick movement and changing color. Together, they encourage pets to listen, watch, react, and return to play throughout the day.

  • A Little Fish That Makes a Sound: The fish has a compact, tapered shape that slides, turns, and stops differently from a round ball. Its orange face, bright pink body, forked tail, and oversized eyes give it a lively expression, while the enclosed bell adds a soft jingle that marks every toss, nudge, and carry.
  • Confetti Dots in Constant Motion: The two cream balls are covered with raised dots in teal, purple, magenta, yellow, and orange. As the balls roll, each color moves in and out of view, creating shifting visual targets for pets to follow. The cream base keeps the pattern clear while making the bright dots easy to spot across floors, rugs, and pet bedding.
  • Natural Wool With Nothing Hidden: The outer forms are created without bleach, synthetic fillers, plastic stuffing, or harsh chemical coatings. The dense felted wool stays gentle on teeth and paws while preserving the natural texture and scent pets often respond to. The fish’s bell is fully enclosed inside the wool body, allowing sound to become part of play without interrupting its soft exterior.
  • Three Pieces, Finished by Hand: Female artisans shape the fish and balls through a slow felting process, building density by working natural wool fibers together. The fish’s eyes, tail, and color-blocked body, along with each individual dot, are added by hand. Small differences in placement, shape, and texture reflect authentic handmade production.

Details

Some toys roll. This set swims, jingles, and darts into action. The felt fish slips across the floor with a soft sound, the spotted balls scatter in different directions, and curious paws decide which one to follow first. Designed for cat toys, kittens, and playful small pets, this interactive trio combines shape, movement, texture, and sound to make daily play feel varied, instinctive, and easy to return to.

  • Designs & Size: Each 3-piece set includes a felt fish measuring approximately 3 inches long, shaped with a rounded orange face, a deep pink body, a forked tail, and goggly cream eyes that give it a curious expression. A gentle bell hidden inside creates a soft jingle whenever the fish is nudged, tossed, or carried. The set also includes two approximately 1.5-inch cream Wool Balls Cat Toys decorated with raised polka dots in teal, magenta, purple, yellow, and orange. Their scattered pattern changes with every roll, giving pets moving colors to track while adding bright contrast to the fish’s compact silhouette.
  • Certified Organic, Filler-Free Wool: Made from 100% certified organic New Zealand wool without synthetic stuffing or hidden fillers, each toy feels soft yet substantial. The natural wool fibers create a lightly textured surface that is easy for paws and mouths to grip while helping the fish and balls maintain their shape through regular chasing, swatting, and carrying.
  • Naturally Dyed & Non-Toxic: Colored using azo-free, lead-free, plant-based dyes, these Eco-friendly wool fabric toys are made without bleach or harsh chemical processing. Preserving the wool closer to its natural state helps retain its softness, resilient structure, and familiar scent while creating rich colors that are safer for pets and gentler on the planet.
  • Gentle Bell for Interactive Play: The concealed bell inside the fish produces a light jingle each time the toy moves. This quiet sound offers pets another cue to follow, helping sustain interest during stalking, pouncing, and hide-and-seek games without relying on an overly loud or startling noise.
  • Promotes Active Play: The fish’s elongated body encourages gripping, kicking, carrying, and short bursts of pursuit, while the smaller round balls travel quickly with each paw tap. Together, the three toys support coordination, physical activity, fine motor skills, mental stimulation, problem solving abilities and hunting-style play, especially for indoor cats that benefit from frequent movement.
  • Durable & Handcrafted: Each toy is hand-felted into a compact structure that holds its form while remaining soft. These handcrafted toys have the fish’s eyes, face, body, and tail, along with every raised polka dot, carefully shaped from wool and worked into the surface without adding hard decorative pieces.
  • Great for Cats & Small Dogs: Ideal for cats, kittens, and small dogs that enjoy gentle fetch, carrying, and supervised play, this set works well for both independent exploration and interactive games. The mix of sound, color, and shape helps keep play from becoming repetitive.

How to Use

  • Roll the dotted balls across hard floors to encourage fast chasing and pouncing.
  • Toss the fish gently so its bell jingles and gives pets a sound to follow.
  • Drag the fish slowly across the floor to inspire stalking and capture play.
  • Hide one toy beneath a light blanket or inside a play tunnel for discovery games.
  • Rotate between the fish and balls to vary sound, shape, movement, and color.

Their compact sizes and lightly textured wool surfaces make them easy for cats and small dogs to swat, grip, carry, and rediscover throughout the day. Supervise play and remove any toy that becomes damaged.

A Catch That Jingles Back

The felt fish brings more than movement to the game. A light paw tap creates a soft jingle, a short toss produces a quick burst of sound, and carrying it across the room lets pets hear their own play in motion. Its rounded head and tapered tail create several easy points to grip, making it especially suited to stalking, pouncing, holding, and gentle bunny kicks.

Dots That Never Stay Still

The two cream balls are scattered with bright dots that shift position every time they turn. Teal, purple, pink, yellow, and orange appear and disappear as the balls move beneath paws or across the floor. The design and construction of the pattern gives pets a visual trail to follow while adding cheerful color to short chases, batting games, and independent exploration.

Wool Kept Naturally Inviting

Certified organic New Zealand wool gives these Wool Felted toys their soft grip, compact density, and subtle natural aroma. Because the fibers are not bleached, chemically stripped, or coated in harsh treatments, they retain more of their original texture and strength. This textile creation creates a comfortable alternative to slick plastic toys, offering pets something easy to hold, bat, and carry during daily play.

Sound, Shape, and Color Working Together

Each piece encourages a different kind of response. The jingling fish invites listening, stalking, gripping, and carrying, while the round balls call for quick swats, pounces, and directional chasing. Their bright dotted pattern adds another point of interest, helping pets remain mentally engaged while regular movement supports coordination, exercise, and healthy indoor routines.

FAQ

What is included in this handmade felt fish pet toy set?

Each set includes one felt fish measuring approximately 3 inches long and two Wool Balls Cat Toys measuring approximately 1.5 inches round. The fish has an enclosed gentle bell, while both cream balls feature raised multicolored polka dots.

Is the bell safely enclosed inside the wool fish?

Yes, the bell is concealed within the hand-felted body rather than attached to the surface. All play should still be supervised, especially with pets that chew aggressively. Remove the fish if the wool becomes torn or the internal bell begins to show.

Why are the fish and wool balls different shapes?

The different shapes support different styles of play. The fish’s longer body is easy to grip, carry, stalk, and kick, while the smaller balls roll quickly and encourage batting, chasing, and pouncing. This variety gives pets more than one type of movement to explore.

Why is unbleached wool useful for natural pet toys?

Wool that has not been bleached or chemically stripped retains more of its natural texture, resilience, and subtle scent. The slightly grippy fibers are easy for pets to hold and bat, while the familiar aroma can make the toys more appealing than heavily processed synthetic options.

How should I clean the felt fish and wool balls?

Spot clean with cool water and a small amount of mild soap. Press away excess moisture gently without twisting, reshape the toys, and allow them to air dry completely. Do not soak the fish because it contains a bell, and avoid bleach, harsh detergents, and high heat.
