Tarantula - Eco Soft Toy

(Code: SE2802)

In Stock

Please order in multiples of 3

Made from 100% recycled plastic fabrics, recycled glass beans and a recycled sew in label. 14 water bottles create enough fibre to make a 25cm soft toy. The bottles are shredded, crushed and melted to create yarn which is woven to create the base fabric.

The making of these beautiful toys has helped to recycle and repurpose more than 100 million water bottles. Considering many of the animals in this range have been affected by the manufacture and disposal of plastic, we think this is an amazing way to break the harmful cycle and raise awareness at the same time!

With eight soft furry legs, four embroidered cotton eyes, and one weighted bean-filled bottom, this plush tarantula adds up to a great toy! It’s covered in velvety black fur, with longer fluffy tufts on its legs.

Deforestation and the exotic pet trade have put many species of tarantula at risk of extinction. Researchers have warned that some species may completely die out before they have even had the chance to be discovered. Unlike more ‘popular’ endangered species, the plight of arachnids doesn’t get much publicity! However, these little creatures play a vital role in ecosystems, helping to manage insect populations that would otherwise overrun local agriculture.

Approximate size 15cm
