Description

The toys are handmade by Natalya Sayapina from Liman, Astrakhan Oblast, Russia. She is 29 years old and has two higher educations, which gave her the opportunity to connect her life with the upbringing of the younger generation, becoming a teacher of biology and chemistry.

But now Natalya temporarily changed this noble profession to an equally important one: she is the mother of two wonderful boys bearing simple Russian names: Yaroslav, who is 4.5 years old, and Ivan, who recently turned just a year old. With her family, Natalia lives in the village of Liman. In the same village not far from which is the Stepnoy Reserve is situated. On the expanses of which saigas live in the calm and carelessness under the eye of their defenders.

She got interested in needlework in early childhood, and Natalia began to knit various absolutely amazing toys for her sons: bears, bunnies, hedgehogs, samples of which can easily be found on the Internet. But Natalya wanted to create something of her own, something special, which cannot be found anywhere.

Now Natalya helps SCA and the Stepnoi Reserve to highlight saigas through crafting these wonderful toys, but she has also another animals, if you want to purchase some little friends for your saigas take a look at her page https://www.instagram.com/tata_for_kids30ru/
