Crafty Ponies

Crafty Ponies are gorgeous soft toy ponies, which can be bought on their own or with tack and accessories, all sold separately meaning children can add to their collection. The tack, rugs, headcollars etc, all fit the Crafty Pony, similar to how real tack fits - so it is an educational exercise to tack up your Crafty Pony!

Every Crafty Ponies product comes with a fully illustrated instructional booklet, so that children can learn as they play. Imaginative role play is a valuable benefit of Crafty Ponies. Crafty Ponies come in a wide range of colours and there are even foals for the collection.
