Handcrafted Lifelike Grasshopper Stuffed Animal by Hansa

If humans could jump in the same way as grasshoppers, we’d be able to clear a football field in one go, and those powerful back legs are just one – or should we say two – of the things captured perfectly in the Handcrafted Lifelike Grasshopper Stuffed Animal by Hansa. At around 13 inches, this plush grasshopper is incredibly detailed, making him a must-have gift for budding entomologists as well as anyone who would like to get to know more about these amazing insects. With a velvety soft plush coat, the Handcrafted Lifelike Grasshopper Stuffed Animal by Hansa has been airbrushed by hand to create the wonderful markings and patterns that adorn this critter’s exoskeleton, bringing subtle hues of yellow and orange along with the prettiest of black spots and flecks. Created from dozens of individual, hand-cut pieces, this stuffed grasshopper is sewn inside out by artisans before being filled with a soft poly fiber, which is then skillfully sculpted to create a realistic shape. Made from a portrait of the insect in its natural habitat, the Handcrafted Lifelike Grasshopper Stuffed Animal by Hansa is fitted with an internal support to allow him to hold his position as you spend hours studying his outstandingly beautiful form.
