Why Kids and Parents Love This Little Toad
At 18cm, our Small Toad is just the right size — big enough to cuddle, small enough to carry everywhere. Made from 100% polyester, it’s incredibly soft to touch, which makes it ideal as a comforter or first soft toy. It’s suitable from birth, so it makes a brilliant baby shower gift or a sweet welcome-home present for a newborn.
Because it conforms to EU safety standards and carries the CE symbol, you can hand it over with complete peace of mind. No nasty surprises — just pure, squidgy toad goodness.

- Fine motor skills — little ones love gripping, squeezing and carrying their favourite plushie around
