Toddler Tootsie Warmers
They're finally here! Toddler sizes with leather soles for increased traction and durability... but you don't lose any of that marvellous flexibility that allows tots to feel the earth's contours beneath their feet, and learn to walk properly in response to their own bodies and the natural curves of the ground.
Bye-bye stiff soles and "blind" feet! Still made with 100% wool (excluding embellishments) and Canadian leather.

A Little Background...
My husband Skeet sensed I was pregnant even before
I did. He claims that as soon as I tenderly showed him the first little
brown-and-pink pair of baby booties I felted, he knew we must have a wee one on
the way. Sure enough, he turned out to
be right—although I might have gone with a different colour scheme had I known
our first born was to be a boy.
Since then I’ve felted
hundreds of pairs of booties, with the desire to bring soft warmth and comfort
to tiny precious feet everywhere.
I want my babies to
always be able to feel the earth beneath their feet, its intricate contours, so
that they might learn to pattern their walking properly, in a way most healthy
for the alignment of their bodies, and with a feeling of connection to and
respect for the earth. Such soft-soled footwear allows for this in the gentlest,
quietest possible way. And so BumbleToes was born. For little Earth Walkers.
OOAK
Well it looks like I'm going to be a felting maniac for the next several months-- I have a booth in the 2012 One of a Kind Show in Toronto, November 27- December 2. I am really excited about it, fantasizing about all the hundreds of pairs of booties I will make between now and then, and imagining all the cute little baby feet that will be wearing my soft creations next winter! Not to mention all the "troubled little tushies" that will be soothed by my bum powder and salve. I will also be making flannel-fleece baby sacks with hoods, which act as a final swaddling layer to be bundled around babies. They will have the option of being strapped into car seats, for travelling convenience cuteness and coziness!
