About Philosophy Hobby Horses Finger Puppets Artwork The Philosophy Behind It All: The philosophy behind Painted Pony Shop is that toys should encourage children to use both their minds and bodies. This concept was the inspiration behind every toy you see here today. Stick horses encourage their young riders to make up their own adventures instead of being contained to a script, and can carry them outside into a world of exploration, exercise, and imagination. The adorable fleece finger puppets can help with language development, story telling, social interaction and basic motor skills. All of these toys are designed to take whatever spark of imagination and love for adventure that a child has and nurture it - and at the same time help them in developing healthy habits. The colorful, realistic designs of all Painted Pony Shop products appeal to kids and the creative themes inspire activity. These special horses are all individually handcrafted, a completely original, personal creation. They are a wonderful toy, a unique gift, and potential for the very best of friends.
