GUNDBaby Tinkle Crinkle Collection The Play Together Toy Caterpillar Stuffed Animal Sensory Plush, 12"

My kid loves these. Holds onto them and cuddles it while sleeing in car seat.

We have the original Yoee and my baby has loved it since he was a couple days old. Gund now makes these toys so I had to get one. My 6 week old loves the softness of the fluffy part. He smiles and laughs when we play with it. It’s a great way to interact with a newborn. Highly recommend!

Love it!

This review is for the GUND Baby Tinkle Crinkle Collection The Play Together Toy Caterpillar Stuffed Animal Sensory Plush, 12". For several years, the GUND stuffed animals has been a favorite of our family, both for our own family’s use and as a gift to friends and neighbors. There is a lot of thought that goes into their designs from a child sensory stimulation perspective, as well as a visually appealing and fun looking toy that kids love.This specific Caterpillar stuffed animal is no exception. It has all the qualities I mentioned above, as well as the quality-made characteristics we would expect from GUND. It is designed more for very young children, 0-2 years, and is an awesome “1st stuffed animal” choice. There are several features of the caterpillar to stimulate the senses, whether it be crinkle sounds, visually vivid and contrasting colors, tickling, or just needing something to teeth on to soothe those sore gums.It is an awesome choice for a young baby’s 1st stuffed animal.

The original YoeeBaby version was was more vibrantly colored, had a simpler chewy on the bottom, and larger crinkle / sensory components. This is a suitable option since Gund bought Yoee (and it’s the only option), but I wish they kept some of the features that made the Yoee so unique and usable for all stages. My now-toddler son has loved his Yoee since day 1 and I hope my daughter loves this too.

I really didn’t expect this to become one of my favorite newborn items but it’s now a staple gift for all baby showers. My little girl is almost 3 months old and it was all smiles immediately with this. She loves having her belly and feet tickled with it, and holding the feather part in her hands and against her face. I really didn’t expect she could be this excited over a toy yet. It’s a great way for family to bond with her as well.The teether part isn’t useful to her yet but it will be in the near future.My only complaint is that a bunch of fuzzy pieces from the feather wound up in her hand from it. So just brush out any loose ones, and as always keep an eye on baby so they don’t eat them. Such a minor complaint and it doesn’t change how much I love this, but still felt worth mentioning.

This GUND toy is very sweet and just what I expected. I think it’s adorable and it has a wide variety of textures to be explored and teethed on. Very cute, very nice quality, just what I expect from Gund.As the parent of kiddos with autism, there are causes near and dear to my heart. Let Amazon donate to your favorite charity!

GUND Baby Tinkle Crinkle Collection The Play Together Toy Caterpillar Stuffed Animal Sensory Plush, 12"I have a grand baby on the way and I’m thinking about photo opportunities, LOL.I remember with my 1st grand baby that if you gently caressed his cheeks, he would smile long enough for a pic. This Gund baby toy will make that super easy with its length and that feathery soft tickler. It also has bells that jingles.At $18 it’s a bit expensive, but it’s GUND, so it’s got to be good!🤗 Thank you so much for taking the time to read this review, have a FANTASTIC day!!😊
