The recommended age for these Hansa plush animals is 3 and up, meeting ASTM93 safety standards. 'Portraits in Nature' is a collection of real - looking hand - crafted plush animals. Each Hansa animal is created by artists in a socially and environmentally responsible studio, using portraits of the creature in its natural habitat. The animals are sewn 'inside out' by artisans, a traditional method that reduces seams. Their bodies are carefully shaped to show unique movements like walking or sitting. On average, 42 separate pieces are used to make each animal, and some may have up to 240 parts. Each animal is individually hand - sewn, giving it a special 'personality'. There are over 860 fabrics and man - made furs for the 'coat' and 'hides', and more than 6000 sets of eyes, whiskers, and other accessories. High - quality man - made materials are carefully placed as stuffing. When you hold these lifelike animals, you can feel HANSA's focus on quality, from design to finishing. Since they are hand - sewn, there will be slight appearance differences.

These Hansa plush hummingbirds are great for kids aged 3 and up to play with. You can hold them, cuddle them, or even use them as a decoration on your bed or shelf. When using them, avoid pulling on their parts too hard as they are hand - sewn. For maintenance, you can gently brush the fur to keep it looking nice. If it gets dirty, spot - clean it with a mild detergent and let it air - dry. Remember, because each one is hand - made, they may have small differences in appearance, which makes them even more special.
