The Forest Spirit was once a regular Forest Ninja that literally became one with the forest – made up of everything organic around him. The Forest Spirit plush is made with:
• Organic cotton/hemp body and thread: Fleece 55% hemp 45% cotton • Stuffed with kapok tree fiber: An all-natural fiber pulled from the seed pods of the kapok tree (Tested & endorsed by Immunology Lab Environmental Health Center in Dallas, Texas) • Natural wool mask and leaves: 100% wool felt naturally dyed • Wooden eyes: Bio-degradable and natural • Hemp cord: Used for the hang tag and Leaf Satchel • Non-toxic glue: Used to adhere mask and eyes • 100% recycled paper tag printed with soy-based ink • Handmade in-house by Shawnimals • This special Handmade Edition is limited to 100pcs


Now more than ever it's important to consider the impact we have on our environment. The Forest Ninja project is as much an exploration of the organic and sustainable materials available as it is a new addition to the Ninjatown line. By supporting the companies that produce such materials, we hope to raise awareness of what's available, and new ways to use them. In addition, we know that every component that goes into the Forest Spirit is completely bio-degradable – it won't sit in a landfill for thousands of years. The Forest Spirit came from the forest and it can become one with it some day!
