Feather Duster in a child's hands
The small ostrich feather duster is handcrafted and has a leather cuff. According to the manufacturer it measures 15 cm and is meant for dusting the prepared environment, the room arranged for the child. The child holds the duster by the cuff and sweeps the feathers lightly across surfaces to take the dust off them. It belongs to practical life, to the area of caring for the environment, where the child keeps their own surroundings in order. It is made of ostrich feathers, and the cuff is leather. One duster is supplied.
