The long neck is the obvious handle for a small fist. It is made entirely from recycled polyester, weighs 60g, goes in the machine at 30°C and is suitable from birth. From BamBam, a baby brand from Leiden in the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🦒 A neck made for holding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiraffes are a favourite first soft toy for a simple reason: the neck. It is long and narrow enough for a young baby to wrap a hand round, and an older baby will carry this one about by it. At 22cm and 60g it is small and light, so it travels in the changing bag without taking it over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e👀 Little details to find\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCream with soft grey spots is calm rather than busy, which suits a nursery and a newborn alike. There is still plenty to find up close: two horns and two ears to grab, a spotted tail with a knot in it, and embroidered eyes and a smile, so there are no hard pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e♻️ Recycled, inside and out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label says 100% recycled polyester, so both the soft outer and the filling are made from recycled material.
