Classic Lamb Cuddle Doll

Details

This lamb plush cuddle toy is made in Europe by Käthe Kruse, perhaps the most respected name in doll-making worldwide. The original maker of soft dolls, many collectible now, Kruse has been in business over 100 years.

This classic, beautiful lamb is handcrafted in its finishing. At 13.5 inches long, it is the perfect size for playtime and dream time. Lamb's arms and legs loosely dangle meaning they are easily clutchable by the limbs, the ears or the head. Lambie is made of an ultra soft cotton blend that feels cozy on baby's tender skin. Internally, the lamb is filled with sustainably sourced 100% anti-allergenic granulate materials of European origin. This allows for posing and sitting.

Lamb Mojo has a white body with an embroidered face on velour. Our lamb wears a gray neck scarf with blue and pink stars. Lamb Mojo comes in a gift box.

SIZE: 13.5"
AGE RANGE: Newborn +

Developmental Value

Besides being a safe, constant companion for your child, doll play highlights an amazing natural capacity children have for nurturing. Have you ever watched a young child speak to their doll or cuddly, naturally moving into a soft, gentle voice?

Doll and cuddly play should not be a gender divide. In today's world, men are nurturing fathers as women are nurturing mothers. Both boys and girls gain from exploring how to grow up and take on the role of a nurturing adult. If we encourage this natural affinity to love a doll or cuddly, the child moves toward developing the ability to give selflessly and care for others with compassion.

Loving and caring for a doll fosters imaginative play. From a psychological perspective, it's hard to imagine the vulnerability a young child feels in a big adult-sized world. Doll play allows children to deal with that vulnerability in a safe context. Children can work out their negative feelings through imaginative play with a doll, without involving another child.
