Poppykins

Sewn with hand-embroidered details, the stuffed animals by Poppykins have soft bodies made of a linen-cotton blend, which means that toddlers can squeeze them and keep cuddling them all day. No need for them to worry about biting off smaller pieces, either - there are no plastic bits on them. Each animal is 38cm tall, which makes it large enough to be used as a support when kids aged two or three are learning to walk. You can also give it to babies who are six months old - especially when they’re feeling upset - just to comfort them.

The animals also have arms and legs that are shaped in a way that makes them perfect for pretend play. This is why they’re made sturdy, so older kids aged seven and older can take them out for tea parties in the garden. Or have them sit at the table and pretend that they’re reading with you. A rabbit? A lion? A giraffe? Nothing is too far-fetched for your children’s imagination, and what makes these animals special is that each of them has its own distinct look - down to the colour of their outfits.

Poppykins

A little highland cow to call your own? Yes, please! The Poppykins Mini Highland Cow 19cm isn’t all that mini at 19cm tall, and it has poppable bubbles on its belly so children 3 years and older can experience the fidgety delight of making them go pop. With its plush horns and friendly smile, this toy is a buddy that is going to stick around for a long time.

Another little bean-shaped friend? You know we can never have enough! The Poppykins Mini Capybara 19cm is a stylised soft toy with a tactile patch on its belly. Children above 3 can safely fidget with the material here which looks a little bit like a pop-its toy. This toy has soft fur in several shades of brown on the outside, with little paws and a tail at either end.

The Poppykins Mini Koala 19cm is a huggable friend for children who enjoy experimenting with textures and shapes. It is made out of super soft fur that is grey on the outside, and features a round belly that is tactile and smooth in colour gradients of white and grey. This is an excellent companion for children who may experience anxiety or sensory issues because the sensory patch on its tummy can be very soothing.

Why Pick Poppykins?

On the surface, 3D puzzles look like they’re meant for mindless amusement, but you soon realise they have a lot of value to offer. Hand-eye coordination, cognitive skills and critical thinking are practically essential, but Poppykins takes it a step further by combining brain game elements with the satisfaction of solving a puzzle that fits together perfectly. And with every completed build, there’s always a sense of pride that makes you puff up a little. Why not try gifting these to puzzle enthusiasts in your life? The jigsaw puzzles work well for preschoolers since their only purpose is to fit the puzzle pieces into place. The complexity of their train models and dinosaur puzzles can help hone analytical and cognitive skills, strengthening their creative streak for a while. Younger children in this bracket develop spatial reasoning through stacking and matching activities. Layered puzzles are particularly useful if you want to keep a child focused on an activity for longer. Poppykins goes a step beyond what traditional puzzles do. With musical models and block trains, there’s entertainment value tacked on to every difficult part - and some are even meant to use as decor! With their simple designs and approachable shapes, Poppykins pieces never seem out of place.
