Fair questions.

What are they made of?

Materials and fillings vary by animal. Tap Details for the current product listing, including cotton, wool and grain-cushion information.

How do the warm ones work?

The geese and most of the elephants hold a cushion of grain that keeps heat. Warm it before bed, or chill it for bumps. They aren’t for premature babies or infants under two months, and you should always check the temperature before handing one over.

What age are they for?

Check the individual product listing and the maker’s instructions for age suitability. Warming cushions are not for premature babies or infants under two months. Keep mobiles out of reach; they are not toys to sleep with.

Can it be washed?

Care varies by animal. Most take a surface wash or a gentle hand wash. Tap Details on any animal to see what its listing says.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are processed in 1 to 3 business days, and standard shipping takes 5 to 8 business days. The cost is calculated at checkout. A few animals ship straight from the maker in Germany and can take longer; the product page says when. Rarely ships within the contiguous United States. Shipping policy
