Frequently Asked Questions

Why pick a raccoon over a bear?

Mostly character. Most nurseries already have a bear or two, and a distinctive animal gives a child something specific to name and recognise - which is often how a comfort toy gets chosen.

Does knitted cotton wash well?

Yes, better than most plush. Hand wash gently in cold water, press the water out rather than wringing, and reshape it while damp so the knit dries in the right shape.

How do I wash it?

Gentle hand wash in cold water with a mild baby detergent, press the water out without wringing, and dry it fully in the shade. Stuffed and knitted toys hold moisture inside, so make sure the filling is completely dry before it goes back to your child.

Will my child get attached to it?

Many children pick one soft toy as a comfort object somewhere between six months and two years. If yours does, buying a second identical one is the well-tested parent trick for wash days and travel.

Does it work as a baby shower or newborn gift?

Soft toys are among the easiest newborn gifts - nothing to size, no clash with an existing wardrobe, and they stay in use well into the toddler years. A common pick for godh bharai, namkaran and first birthdays.

Please supervise young children during play, and check seams, buttons and attachments regularly for wear.
