I love going to fairs & exhibitions. After moving to Hyderabad post-marriage, I would visit lots of fairs & exhibitions to pass my time (while looking for a job of course). However, once I was employed again (read busy), my visits became fewer. And then they completely stopped after V was born (read busier..!).
Recently, I had been to a furniture exhibition at Hitex (a convention and exhibition center in Hyderabad). One of the stalls there had coir toys on display. They looked very cute especially the camel. Unfortunately, they were not on sale and were only used as display items at the stall. Of course, I asked them if they were willing to sell 😀 but unfortunately they said NO.

Today I google'd to see if I could find such toys for V. Wonder if V will play with them or simply stuff his mouth with the coir. Like he did to his paper mache parrot which I got from Shilparamam! (Will post about paper mache sometime). He bit the parrots beak. Not only that, he even hit the parrot so hard on the ground that it broke into two 😩
Coming back to coir toys....found similar ones on Craftsvilla. But these don't look as cute as the ones I saw at the exhibition.

How about using coir planters in your garden? Such a unique idea...
