Farm Animals from Inge-Glas

These new Farm Animal Balls are uniquely different from Inge-Glas. The painted farm animal has a raised texture. These ornaments would make a great addition to your child's farm collection. They include a tractor, pink, cow and a horse. They are about 3" in diameter and have a M & M candy type shape.

A great way to package these for a gift would be to put in a truck or tractor and wagon filled with raffia or wood wool. That way the child has a gift for "now" and a wonderful keepsake to hang on the tree for years to come. The back of the ornament is plain and would be easy to personalize with a permanent ink marker or paints.
