What makes nursery teddies so special?

Aside from the fact that they are all incredibly adorable and have great shelf appeal, most nursery teddies are machine washable, which makes them attractive to new parents who may be worried about hygiene. Those that cannot be machine washed can be surface wiped to keep them clean. They are smaller in size than your average plush toy, so that small hands can grab hold of them, and their soft colours have been designed to sit well within modern nursery decor themes. The materials used to make nursery teddies are even softer than other plush toys, ensuring that snuggle time with them should not irritate a baby’s delicate skin.

The benefits of plush nursery teddies

Sensory and tactile stimulation is incredibly important for small babies. It is how they learn about the world around them - that’s why they are always putting things in their mouths, as they explore shapes, textures and tastes. Having a good level of sensory stimulation is linked to normal physical, cognitive and emotional development - all of their senses must be able to work together in order for them to be able to learn, move and develop as they should. Nursery teddies provide the opportunity to explore new textures, and as they get a little older they will learn new colours, different sizes and the different animals and characters in their nursery.

Of course nursery teddies must be especially safe and designed for babies under 12 months, with no small parts or loose fibres. This is why we have placed them together in this category, so that you can feel confident about recommending them to your customers for very young babies.
