Before we know it, Halloween will be here to enchant children big and small. If you are looking for a candy-free Halloween gift for your children, consider giving an adorable, ethically-made, handknit creation from Red & Olive. Wolfy the Wolverine, Franky the Frankenstein, Baby Ghost and their other Halloween-themed creations are perfect for sparking imaginative play without any fright and are lovingly handmade by talented Peruvian artisans.
For children with autism, they’re a soft sensory option handmade with love, fitting right in the palm of their hands at seven inches tall.
The Red & Olive founders, mom and stepdaughter team Destiny and Lita, incorporate their rich Peruvian heritage in Red & Olive artisan products. Through each purchase of a special BFF, you are helping empower the women that create them. The women behind each doll are some of the most vulnerable in Peru. Your purchase helps break the cycle of poverty for these women and their families and gives their children the daily care and education they need to grow and learn. Red & Olive also donates 10% of sales to organizations and programs benefiting seriously ill children across the U.S.
