5 /5 Stevie Yortsos: Recently I got a wooden frog noisemaker at Villages Pasadena and couldn’t be happier with it! The craftsmanship is beautiful—smooth wood, lovely detailing, and beautiful colors. When you run the stick along its back, it makes a surprisingly realistic croaking sound that makes me smile. It reminds of the time I could hear the frogs in Hawaii or from what I’ve been told about the coqui frogs in Puerto Rico.
It’s such a simple item, but it brings a lot of joy. I also love knowing that my purchase supports fair trade artisans around the world. This shop has such a great collection of meaningful, handcrafted goods, all with such an amazing backstory.
I absolutely recommend stopping by whether buying for yourself or for others!
