I LOVE these little guys. You stick them in the microwave for a minute or two, & you have a warm, lavender scented fuzzy friend. Their fur is SUPER soft. They are filled with some sort of round stuff that makes them a little heavy, & they are floppy. They are perfect for absolutely anybody. Jacob sleeps with his cold every night...they still have a faint smell to them...& when he had a belly ache, I popped that baby in the microwave...instant soother!!! :) He can't wait until winter so I will warm it each night at bed time. :) OH....and they eyes are just thread...so they would be safe for young children. (I wish I would have had one of these when Jacob was younger instead of messing with a laytex glove filled with hot water...can get messy! :0 )
