SCRUFF A LUVS - Families

It was nice but actually as all videos show, it was a bit, flat.

We’ve had two sets of these (one last year at £30ish and another set this week, a different animal, at around £22).My child was super pleased with the item, having wanted it for ages. But the cost for what it is, is really silly. £30 basically for a soft toy and two tiny ones, of no particular quality overall, is really steep. Kids like the activity element (ie wash it and dry it etc) but if you picked these toys up off the shelf for £30 you’d put them back! Child is happy, therefore that’s how the cookie crumbles, but these items should cost less.The panda one we have received this week (for my other child) has gone down really well, she’s chuffed to bits with it even though it doesn’t in my eyes appear to be much! Better price though this time around.

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE ADVERTS OR THE PICTURES - No matter what you do, your Scruff-a-luv will never look as cute or as fluffy as the advets.As a plush toy, this is absolutely terrible.The babies are of the poorest quality you could imagine and the Mum is as flat as a pancake with virtually NO stuffing in the arms or legs and has a completely 2D face despite my numerous and vigorous attempts to reshape it, but I guess this is how they managed to pack it into such a tight ball!My Daughter loved it and very much enjoyed the excitement of washing it and discovering which animal she had rescued, but as a toy, it is terrible and it now seems to have taken up permanent residence under her bed...I have actually made some small incisions in the back of the arms and legs so I can put more stuffing in to fill it out a bit.It is quite good fun during the bathing process, but I would say that's it - You're paying for the novelty and not the toy, and it's quite an expensive novelty!

A little girls dream toy. The whole process of rescue was very exciting. She loved seeing the baby kittens and finding out if she had boys or girls! (She got twin girls).TIP. The cats nose was hidden I thought missing for a while. You need to look for the shiny bit then pull it forward until you find the plastic nose. Once you pull and reshape it. It is there!I bathed in a bowl using Kids bubble bath. Groomed it hard with a hair brush before handing to my daughter and it's really fluffy. She loves her new cat family. It isn't the best quality cuddly toy. But you are paying for the experience and it made my daughter very happy and she is still playing with the toy now!

What can I say: my daughter was desperate for this toy for Christmas; I wasn't convinced; she opened it, we washed the dog and the puppies, we dried them, and, oh my god, how ugly are they still!!! I dont think I've ever bought her any teddy as hideous as this one, and yet, she's been carrying it around everywhere an has slept with it every night. It wears its name well: very scruffy and cheap looking, but I guess it supports the idea of the abandoned, unloved pet in need for a new home... She adores it so I'm happy I bought it, but it is very very ugly!!
