Bugaboo Baby and You

NEW pouches! These make great Christmas presents!

We absolutely love these finger puppet purses. Each set is complete with one carrying purse and 10 finger puppets!

Use these with your own children or in daycare circles for singing, storytelling and language development. Children will learn new words, animal sounds, imaginative play and acting the story out with the finger puppets. The bright animals fit even on small fingers so everyone can join in the fun! Each puppet is hand knit with fine detail and some even with babies!

Anyi Bolivia is a network of indigenous artisans from across Bolivia. It helps women gain self esteem by teaching them the skills necessary to become wage earners for their families. It also enables many artisans to remain in rural communities, thus avoiding the trap of urban poverty.

Members of the network make a moral commitment to participate, based on the ethics of Anyi ? a self-help system used in pre-colonial times by Aymara and Quechuan people.

There are currently 200 full time artists and 300 who work part time. Individual and small groups of artisans produce various types of handicrafts that reflect their native cultures. These handcrafts are produced locally and sent to La Paz, where the retail and exporting business is coordinated

In addition to providing artisans access to large retail and export markets, the Ayni leadership team also teaches the artists small business skills, helps with the production of their crafts, and gives them ideas about how market themselves locally.

Ayni produces a range of products that include the use of intricate embroidery, traditional weaving and the production of finger puppets in unique knit carrying bags.
