Description
Cozy House Curios is the home of the original crocheted toy censer! This unique item is hand-crocheted and both durable and child-friendly. Gold-colored yarn is crocheted around foam hemispheres to hold the shape. The “chains” are crocheted and have minimal stretch. They come together at the top to form a loop convenient for hanging. Twelve bells are stitched in place at regular intervals. The censer is constructed such that a one-inch space exists between the top and bottom halves. This allows the felted “charcoal” (made from black wool) to be inserted or removed.
While this item is well-made, as with any toy it will eventually show wear. Be watchful for bells that are becoming loose and either remove them or reinforce the stitching.
You can order this with the bells inside at no extra charge for small children who are likely to pull or chew them off. [4/2/23: currently unavailable due to unavailability of jingle bell inserts] You can also request it be made without bells if you desire. There are separate listings for censers with detachable bells, toddler-sized censers, and a pattern to make your own censer.
Dimensions:
Original censer: 13-14 inches fully-extended, 3 1/2 inches across at widest point.
Censer with bells inside: 14 inches fully-extended, 3 1/2 inches across at widest point.
I offer a 15% discount on orders with a minimum of three censers for church bookstores or church school programs. Please contact me before ordering so I can make a custom listing for you.

Beautiful and well-made. Looks sturdy and is super fun to swing around. The bells are charming and subtle, not too shrill. Our little guy is only 9 months, but we bought this for when he’s 2 1/2 or 3. Couldn’t resist — most Orthodox toy ever.

I love that it has bells but they’re enclosed…it’s a little quieter and I won’t worry the bells will come off.

Both of my sons love their new play censer. I am especially impressed by the quality of the bells. It really sounds beautiful. My whole house has now been thoroughly blessed by my 4-year-old. He also uses it every night during prayers.

I love this play censer. The kids are “celebrating” Divine Liturgy as often as I let them. I’m thrilled that they’re taking such an interest.

I loved it. I bought the censer with the rings inside to avoid risk of a choking hazard for my baby. My only drawback was the the bells inside the censer were very muted and nowhere near as loud as I thought it may be. I thought it may have acted as a very cute rattle and stimulating toy, but it’s too muted. Otherwise very cute toy!

Wow! These censers are absolutely amazing. I purchased two play censers with the bells on the outside for my boys 3.5 & 1.5. They arrived beautifully and lovingly wrapped with care.
My boys love them. The bells jingle offering accurate sounds. It is a great size with careful attention to details such as the removable felt coal and loop at the top. Worth every penny.
Thank God for your skill and creativity. May God continue to bless you and your family Mat. Anna.

The toy censers are very high quality and so adorable. This design works better and is more durable than another play censer design that I purchased previously from a different seller. I bought them for my children and now I am buying them for my godchildren. They all love them.

A beautiful piece. Thank you. Our little son is utterly delighted with his new censer! And the bells make it so authentic for him. Definitely an upgrade from all the random household items he made use of (although I do have to commend him for his creativity!).
