This octopus stuffed animal earns its space on the bed. Oda spans 23 inches across eight long legs lined in a ribbed velour that feels completely different from the smooth plush of the body, which is the detail kids end up fiddling with while they fall asleep.
The powder blue color and embroidered face keep it firmly in gift territory rather than novelty territory, so it works for a baby shower where the parents care about how the nursery looks. The generous size means it lasts: this is a stuffed animal a five year old still wants, not one they outgrow in a season.
Octopus stuffed animals vary a lot in leg construction, and it is what determines how they play. Weighted or bean-filled legs flop; lightly stuffed legs stay springy. These legs are lightly filled and ribbed, so they are easy for small hands to grip, wrap, and braid.
Perfect for: baby showers, first birthdays, under the sea and ocean nurseries, mermaid parties, new baby gifts, and everyday cuddling.
Looking for the rest of the ocean? The shark and turtle in our plush toys collection pair naturally with this one.
