Manifesto for free toys, healthy toys for children

As soon as the desire to be a mother was firmly established in my heart, I naturally wanted to make little objects, mobiles, free toys, rag dolls and felt companions for my child. Spontaneous toys, like scribbling down an idea on a piece of flying paper, so as not to forget. Not to forget the beauty of nature, not to forget the poetry of childhood.

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 at home, time stretches out to give way to free play and walks in the mountains and by the sea. Our living room is my workshop and my child's play area.

A small factory of free woollen toys

While devoting myself to my child, I developed little woollen toys that I was already making with great joy and mischief. Today, I hope that Balberg shop toys will accompany all children with infinite imagination.

I create Balberg shop toys with my values and concerns as a mom: to offer children free and sustainable toys. Toys that leave the field of possibilities open. Toys that respect the environment and children's health.
My aim is to create beautiful objects for children, using natural, healthy materials.

The choice of shapes, colors and materials resonates with the child's sensibility. 
Balberg shop's free toys help to build a child's aesthetic sensibility by offering well-made objects with solid, high-quality materials and simple lines that can be used to stimulate the imagination.

Essential and healthy

Balberg shop toys are ecological, durable and non-toxic for the environment and children, thanks to the very nature of the merino wool they're made from.
I made the first wool felt ball for my son when he was six months old, and today he plays with it almost every day, and I think for a long time to come. 
That's also the beauty of free toys: they live on in the child's play, and are sometimes handed down from generation to generation. Favoring good-quality toys means making a sustainable and economical purchase.
