Flying Star Toys are the handmade toys by Australian designer, Florence Forrest – collectible, soft sculpture toys beautifully crafted with exquisite attention to detail in material and construction that only comes from an experienced embroiderer like Florence. These decorative designer objects are limited editions only.

The design of Flying Star Toys take their inspiration from a diverse range of sources such as native Australian wildlife, folk art, folktales, folk charms, classic fiction, mythology, paper cuts and silhouettes.

Flying Star Toys are sculpted stuffed – this demanding process produces a toy that is pleasurably contoured and full bodied. While some toys may be suitable for children they are designed for display rather than play – guardians rather than playmates. Many Flying Star Toys are designed as beautiful objects of art for the home, with each toy having a background of poetic creation. It is hoped you'll enjoy reading the stories of imagination that accompany each toy collection.

Flying Star Toys are thoughtful gifts for all occasions. Their individual characters ensure they will become beloved keepsakes for both young and old!

All toys are created in the spirit of the Flying Star Toys manifesto;

“To bring joy to the weary heart, to be a light in the darkness, and to be a vision of compassion is what it means to be a Flying Star.”
