These smooth, wooden baby spoons are carved by a family business in the US and made from sustainably harvested sugar maple from another family run business nearby.  I personalize each one with your choice of name and finish it with an organic vegan food grade oil.  A perfect welcome to the world gift.

These should be hand washed and re- oiled once in a while.

Personalized toys are special. This simple solid wooden ball is a perfect gift for a new baby. It has been sanded smooth and finished with a 100% safe natural wax and organic oil finish that leaves it as smooth as can me. I will personalize it with a child's name of your choosing. First names fit best, but I can do first and middle if you wish and even a borth date. Ball almost 3" diameter and the perfect size for babies just learning to hold toys. My son is almost 8 months old and loves to push his ball on the floor and belly crawl after it.

Also fun for older kids as a ball is a timeless and any age appropriate gift. This is also a good size if you are an adult learning sphere play or contact juggling!

Each ball is ready to give in a cloth reusable bag and makes a classy and timeless gift.

These smooth, wooden baby spoon will be inscribed with your choice of first name. Great for play kitchens or real kitchens. A beautiful and unique baby gift and big enough to be fun party favors for older children. Finished with an organic and vegan oil to protect it.

So I recently saw the film Sharkwater and I HIGHLY recommend it. Everyone should see it. Stunning, eye opening and informative. I was inspired after seeing it to carve the stamp I used to create this stationery and hope it helps to spread the word for the quickly diminishing numbers of sharks and the ecosystem they live in and we all live in.



You will receive 12 sheets with matching envelopes with the SAVE THE Sharks stamp hand stamped on each piece. Paper measures 7.5" X 5 3/4". Cream paper with colorful flecks and a blue shark stamp. You will also get a branch pencil with "Save the Sharks" written on the side.



Every time you use this to send a note you will help spread the message about what is happening in the Earth's oceans. Most people have no idea so my hopes are that people will see the stamp and wonder enough to look it up. It's devastating what it happening and that the protection of these magnificent animals is corrupted by the shark finning industry and the millions of dollars involved.



Read on for some facts about sharks.

# Shark finning refers to the removal and retention of shark fins and the discard at sea of the carcass. The shark is most often still alive when it is tossed back into the water. Unable to swim, the shark slowly sinks toward the bottom where it is eaten alive by other fish.

# Shark finning takes place at sea so the fishers have only the fins to transport. Shark meat is considered low value and therefore not worth the cost of transporting the bulky shark bodies to market.

# Any shark is taken-regardless of age, size, or species.

# Longlines, used in shark finning operations, are the most significant cause of losses in shark populations worldwide.

# Shark finning is widespread, and largely unmanaged and unmonitored.

# Shark finning has increased over the past decade due to the increasing demand for shark fins (for shark fin soup and traditional cures), improved fishing technology, and improved market economics.

# Shark specialists estimate that 100 million sharks are killed for their fins, annually.

I'm hoping to sell enough shark conservation items to cover my costs and be able to make a donation to help this cause.
