Description
This knitted Dodo in green is all ready for the winter cold with his bright red scarf and red Santa hat with white trimmings. He can be hung on a tree with the 65mm golden cord attached.
This sweet decoration of a sadly extinct bird makes a lovely little gift or stocking filler.
Didi the Dodo has her own poem!

She doesn't have a nasty feather...
She'll be there for you, whatever the weather!"

Best Years have been specialising in making toys for well over 10 years and were the first people to introduce knitted dinosaur toys to the world!
Green, Fair, Ethical
As a small company, Best Years pride themselves on their ethical sourcing and the progress they have made in reducing their use of plastics. They made a commitment back in 2019 that they would do more and since then they have made good progress in reducing their environmental impact. Best Year's dinosaurs are all now stuffed with recycled polyester. They no longer use individual packaging saving 1000s of single use poly bags. They have removed the kimble tags (small plastic things which allow products to be hung). All their sew-in labels and swing tags are now environmentally friendly.
Best Years is a small company, and they work with small producers all around the world. While they pride themselves on having toys made all over the world, they know who their producers are and they have visited them all. They value their partners and they like them. Small isn't the only answer to ethical and environmental questions but it is always a good start.
Best Years Say...
"We love toys. We love how they help imaginative play, and help cement friendships. We love how children create worlds around their toys and this is why we feel that toys should be as special as the children who play with them. Having young children ourselves the appeal of knitted and crochet toys was instant as it offered a great alternative to the ubiquitous soft toys found all over the high street."
Best Years now offer a wide selection of knitted dinosaur toys and have something suitable for everyone from babies to young children to dinosaur mad adults!
"We are an ethical company and ethical sourcing is at the core of all our products so we found a great factory to make our first knitted toys for us, and now we have hundreds, still working with the same people we met all those years ago."
This interest in ethical sourcing also led to a 10 year partnership with the Pebble fair trade cooperatives who hand make knitted and crochet toys in rural Bangladesh creating thousands of fairly paid and flexible jobs in the process. (Please see our toys by Pebblechild)
