Portrait of Manon Balberg Balberg shop designer Natural toy in organic wool felt

I'm Manon, an artist, felt-maker, ceramist and mum.

I live in Haute-Corse in a village perched on a rock overlooking the sea. The skies are always different in the mornings and evenings, depending on the season. The church chimes the hours and half-hours, but in our village time stretches out to give way to the sun. game free and walks in the mountains and by the sea. 

During my pregnancy and my son's first years of life, I naturally wanted to make him little objects, mobiles, rag dolls, felt companions... A natural, spontaneous toy to remind us of the beauty of nature. Don't forget the childhood poetry.

I designed and developed this range of natural wool felt toys Balberg, thinking of all the mums out there who are returning to work schedules and obligations that don't always leave them enough time to shape their lives with their children. love a few toys for their little one if she felt like it too. So I wanted to be in their hands and sew with all my energy. tenderness a range of natural and healthy toys for their children. I imagined my Balberg shop creations with my values and concerns as a mum in mind: to offer natural and healthy toys for children. free and non-genetic toys for children. Toys that leave the field of possibilities open. From eco-friendly toys respectful of the environment and children's health.

Balberg shop meets a need that all children have: stimulate their aesthetic sensitivity. Surrounding children with beautiful objects has an impact on their mental health, a fact that can be compared with Nordic philosophies such as the Hygge for example. So offering beautiful, solid, well-made toys made from noble, healthy materials is important for the aesthetic and artistic sensibilities of the little human being in the making.
That's why formsand coloursand materials Each choice has been consciously made to resonate with the child's sensibilities and to help build the child's image of the world.

A gentle, poetic universe to start life on earth.
Almost 2 months old, fascinated and smiling at the garland of colours and shapes.
The gentle whale to follow with its eyes before soon grabbing it with its own hands.
The swallow to accompany his journey into the arms of Morpheus.

A moment of pure joy
We love playing with the big ball from Balberg shop, its colours and the softness of its material make it a moment of pure joy for both of us.

The balloons are round and warm and only evoke happiness
I feel that we have never had a more beautiful toy than these woolen balls. Seeing them in my house every day is a real treat for the eyes. My children have taken to them straight away and never lose them, my daughter has made up a rhyme to go with the ball game and plays it every day at the moment. They have all sorts of toys, plastic, wooden and others, but it is always these simple, natural shapes that they return to. If we take good care of them, these balls will stay with us for a long time, and that's good!

Soft and beautiful
I don't often make a big fuss about a parcel I've received, and I don't do a story about opening a parcel.
Usually. But this is just too good. The bears are for baby at Christmas. The swallow is for the girls, probably tonight when they get home from school, because they love the story of Thumbelina and I think she was the missing character in their recreations& Everything is in organic wool, beautifully hand-stitched, soft and beautiful. I highly recommend @balbergshop's creations because, quite frankly, they're talented.

Thank you SO MUCH for my order! 
I was very excited when I placed it but frankly the surprise is even better when I receive it.
I knew it was going to be great, but it's even better than that. The wool is too beautiful, which you don't necessarily realise in photos. Super soft, "fine". I'm really, really pleased and I'll be sure to recommend your work to everyone!
Many congratulations and thanks

Handmade and made in France
Thank you so much for your speed!
For April I'll be ordering a wreath. It's not impossible that I'll fall for the animals, which I find sensational. Bravo again, I'm happy to buy handmade and made in France 🇫🇷

Without a doubt the most beautiful toys in the house
The Little Shapes were very well received, the boys were very happy with their animal. The wolf became the protector of "rabbit", Ariel's favourite rabbit doll and fox sleeps with Armel.
I was amazed when I also discovered the stuffed animals because I had not opened the pretty packages.
The bear is for my niece who will get it in a few weeks.
Thank you for these beautiful creations, without a doubt the most beautiful toys we have at home. Bravo

So poetic
I am so happy to have discovered your work, your universe a few months ago. Everything is so sweet, so pretty, so poetic. I am not a mother. It's a beautiful dream that I'm cherishing just for the moment. If one day I am, I will devalue the shop!
Thank you for a very pleasant exchange and for this lovely creation which I am sure Madeleine will love.

My lover has fallen back into childhood
Adorable felt toys for children and adults alike!
I gave a little elephant to my boyfriend who immediately fell in love with it. The quality of the wool is excellent and every detail is carefully made.
I'm absolutely convinced by Balberg shop and highly recommend these toys for a gift idea, or simply to treat yourself.
Thank you again!

For Lison
Thanks to Balberg shop.
The swallow I ordered has made its migration to come and land on little Lison's cradle. Both announce the arrival of spring. The sweetness, the colours, the freshness and the quality are all there.

Little fox is doing very well
I'm sending you little pictures of M with the little fox, M is playing with it and likes to carry it around with her mouth, and despite all her treatments it is doing very well! She is starting to walk him around and make him jump, I can't wait for her to tell little stories with him.
See you soon

What marvels! 😍
I'd been looking for a long time for wool felt toys that were well designed, with simple lines that captured the purity of the miniature animals.
Of all the handmade woollen toys I've seen, those from Balberg shop are the most unusual, with their generous dimensions and unrivalled quality of felt and workmanship!
I recommend to all parents who want a toy that does not pollute, that is made close to home with great expertise to support, do not hesitate Balberg.shop plush and toys are for you.
(to the delight of your children) 😉

It makes you dream...
I fell for the Balberg shop horse for my daughter because it reminds me of the toys we had as children, which are common in Germany.
Manon's always look great when I browsed through her online shop, and everything made me want to take a look - it's so poetic... it makes you dream.
