Little Dutch Safari Friends Hipopótamo de Abrazo

The stitching has held up through countless washes and the fabric is still just as velvety as day one, which matters when your toddler insists on dragging it by one ear. It's genuinely the right size for hugging in a crib, not one of those giant plushies that takes over the whole bed.

My daughter takes this hippo everywhere—the fabric is so incredibly soft that she actually falls asleep clutching it. The size is perfect for her to carry around without dragging on the floor, and the little stitched face has held up through countless cuddles.

This little hippo is the softest thing we've bought for the nursery, and my daughter refuses to nap without it now. The fabric is gentle on her skin, so it's become her go-to cuddle buddy at bedtime. So glad we picked it up from the Safari Friends line.
