Description
This musical teddy bear water globe ornament is a gentle keepsake to mark a baby's arrival. Inside the clear globe sits a small white teddy with soft grey ears and paws, holding a gold heart close to its chest, while tiny gold stars drift through the water around it. The rounded base is white resin with a hand painted finish, and gold lettering runs around its front: 'Twinkle twinkle little star, do you know how loved you are?' It stands 15.4cm tall, 9.7cm wide and 9.9cm deep, so it sits happily on a narrow shelf.
We think of it first as a birth gift, a thoughtful present to welcome a baby and something to treasure through their first three years and well beyond. It suits a nursery shelf, a chest of drawers or a bookcase in a child's bedroom, where the gold lettering catches the light and the soft white teddy sits quietly with the pastel or neutral tones so many nurseries favour. It is a keepsake to look at rather than a toy, so we would place it up high, where little ones can watch the stars settle and listen to the music from a grown-up's lap.
Resin gives the piece a smooth, even surface, and the hand painted finish keeps the teddy's features and the gold lettering soft and clear. It stands freely on its flat base, so it needs no wall or hook. To keep it looking its best, dust the globe and base with a soft dry cloth and wipe away any marks with a slightly damp cloth. As a birth gift, pair it with a card bearing the baby's name and date of birth, and it becomes a little piece of their story to keep for years to come.
