Manon, free toy, natural toy Balberg shop in Corsica

Small shapes for small hands

Balberg shop is a design workshop for natural and ecological toys and decorations, based in Corsica and committed to the well-being of children and the environment. Balberg shop offers colourful objects with simple lines, authentic, aesthetic and sensitive toys.

Handmade

Each natural wool felt toy is fully assembled, felted and embroidered by hand. Each model is made with the utmost care and passion, and the high quality of the materials used ensures that each toy will last.

Natural and healthy

The felt toy is made from pure new wool, a natural, ecological and sustainable fibre. The colours used are natural or derived from eco-responsible Oeko-Tex 100 certified dyes.

Poetry

Balberg shop offers toys that celebrate life and the poetry of childhood. Let's protect our children from industrial toys made from oil and human exploitation.

Freedom

Free, non-gendered toys that respect children's individual development, meet their specific needs, preserve their sensitivity and encourage self-confidence and emotions.
Balberg toys will grow with your child, adapting to their play and imagination.

Sobriety

Balberg shop is a step away from the unreasonable mass production of the toy industry.
It's a humble and virtuous alternative to consumption, bringing together local production and natural, sustainable and renewable materials.

A free 100% wool toy for your child

A Balberg free play toy is a great gift for a new baby, a birthday, Christmas or any other special occasion, because it will grow with your child as it adapts to his play and will sparkle with his development and creativity.
Balberg Shop accompanies the poetry of childhood, its games and emotions.
When you give a Petites Formes handmade toy, you're choosing a gift of exceptional quality, unique and made with love in Corsica!

We're off!

Your kind words

Thank you for sharing your customer reviews with me and my community!
It means a lot to me and it helps other parents.
This is a real crown!

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 designs always look great when I browsed her online shop, and everything made me want to buy them... they're so poetic... they make you dream.

Creations for all seasons
What a generous catalogue of the most ethical and natural toys you can make! I love giving my child natural toys, he has lots of free wooden toys or wooden characters and the Balberg menagerie with all its woollen animals, seasonal crowns... I'm delighted! What talent! Thank you so much!
