New Zoo Cubes at Brooke Pottery

Adding a bright splash of color to the Brooke Pottery toy section this week is the wildly cute collection of patchwork animals by Cate and Levi. Bright and whimsical, each stuffed animal is has a personality all its own; in fact, no two will ever be the same because they are handcrafted from recycled wool sweaters. Canadian artist Josh Title began making his heartfelt animals as a new dad, and today his studio employs a team of seven craftspeople. Together they create beautiful, heirloom quality toys that by design are also very eco-friendly.

Hand puppets: bear, cat, cow, dog, frog, moose, parrot, walrus – $37 ea.

Pillow Pals: alligator, dog, hippo, sheep, walrus – $49 ea.

Stuffed Animals: crocodile, dog, flamingo, frog, turtle – $63-$98.

Zoo Cubes: dog, giraffe, monkey, moose – $37 ea.
