Why we love it

Most bunny plush toys are either too stiff to cuddle or too floppy to sit up. This one gets the balance just right: a soft, squishy body, ears with a thin wire-free stiffening row so they flop gracefully, and a weighted base so it sits nicely on a shelf.

The removable scarf is the clever part. It is the bit little hands chew and drag around, so being able to pop it in the wash on its own keeps the bunny looking fresh for much longer.

Because the eyes and nose are embroidered rather than plastic, this is one of the few plush toys we are happy to recommend from birth.

Here's everything we checked on the listing and confirmed with the maker:

  • Toddlers who need a calm bedtime companion.
  • Baby shower guests looking for a gift that feels personal.
  • Easter baskets as a keepsake that lasts beyond the chocolate.

Frequently asked questions

Is the bunny safe for newborns?

Yes. The eyes and nose are embroidered and there are no small parts, so the maker lists it as suitable from birth. Always supervise babies with soft toys and keep toys out of the cot during sleep.

Can I wash the bunny?

Hand-wash the bunny in cool water and dry it flat. The scarf comes off and can go in the washing machine at 30°C in a laundry bag.

How big is it?

About 26 cm tall including the ears, and around 14 cm wide — a nice size for small hands.

Can I choose the colour?

Yes — cream, oat and blush pink as standard, with custom scarf colours on request.

The bottom line

If you are looking for a soft toy that is safe from day one, washable where it matters and simply lovely to look at, this sleepy bunny is a beautiful choice. It is our go-to recommendation for baby showers.
