Why does a plush octopus need to teach colors in three languages? It doesn’t, strictly speaking, but nobody is going to complain about a baby accidentally becoming trilingual through cuddling.
Years from now, this is the stuffed animal that ends up in a memory box, not because it’s fancy, but because it was the one actually dragged everywhere for a solid year.
Compared to a plain stuffed animal that just sits there looking cute, this one plays music and lights up gently enough to actually hold a baby’s attention past the first thirty seconds.
Ironically, an eleven inch plush octopus turns out to be one of the more “educational” toys in the house, tucked between actual flashcards and a much louder alphabet mat.
A safe, easy pick for baby showers, first birthdays, or any newborn gift that needs to survive a lot of drool.
