Description
This multicoloured set of two soft rag dolls pairs a sleeping rabbit with a sleeping elephant, and each one comes tucked into its own checked sleeping bag with a fine lacy edging. Both have closed eyes, a soft knotted nightcap and a little romper, spotted on the rabbit and striped on the elephant, so they look as if they have just dozed off. The fabric is 80% polyester and 20% cotton, with a 100% polyester filling, and they measure 15cm tall, 11.5cm long and 5cm wide: small enough to hold in one hand and to carry in a bag without taking up much room.
Because the dolls lift out of their bags, a child can tuck them in and take them out again, which turns a pair of soft toys into a small bedtime game of putting someone else to sleep. They sit neatly on a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a reading nook in a children's room. As a pair they suit two siblings who would each like one, and they make a birthday or christening gift that feels personal without being fussy. Light and compact, they also come along easily on visits and overnight stays.
The fabric is woven and the sleeping faces are embroidered. Care is straightforward: they go in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on low and take a medium iron, which helps if the flat sleeping bags come out of the wash creased. The styling props shown are not included. For display, lay the two side by side on a folded blanket or across a pillow on a made bed, with the dolls tucked in up to their chins, so the checked bags and nightcaps read as a small bedtime scene.
