When we were having our first daughter we made her nursery Winnie the Pooh and friends for the decoration so when she was born she was given a number of Winnie the Pooh and friends soft toys all of which still sit proudly on her shelf even though her room has changed.

This Winnie the Pooh came packaged in a box which was the usual lilac-purple colour most Winnie Items are associated with. The box stated that the toy was suitable for age 0+ although Sophie has never actually played with this toy it has only ever been on display.

The toy is approx 27cms tall and he is made just like the traditional Winnie the Pooh character should look you can tell this is not a cheap version of the character. He is a loveable bright yellow bear wearing a bright red jumper with Pooh written across it.

Winnie is made out of really soft fabric and he is lovely to run against your skin as he is so soft and snuggly. Winnie stomach has something inside which causes him to give off a rattling noise when he is moved.

As Sophie never played with Winnie he is still lovely and clean although her can be given a rub over with a damp cloth if needed. Sophie loves all her Winnie characters and asks me who gave her which ones and how old she was which is a bit of a memory test. As a baby Sophie would lay in her cot when she woke on a morning looking at all her soft toys which I think is because they are so brightly coloured.

I think this is a lovely teddy and I was happy when Sophie received this as a gift when she was born, he is soft and cute and has the added feature of being a rattle. A lovely toy for any baby.
