{"product_id":"ollie-crochet-octopus-black-white-contrast","title":"'Ollie' Crochet Octopus - Black \u0026 White Contrast","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy first black and white octopus was made for my new Grandson. My daughter was looking for a new-born, baby-safe hanging or play toy in contrast colours as he starts to gain focus in the first 3 months. He loves it and his first giggles and chatter were with “Ollie”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrochet octopus are widely used for babies, especially in NICU, as the tentacles provide comfort because they resemble the umbilical cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cute face features are sewn, making this safe for babies of any age. I would suggest removing the hanging cord if you are moving from the hanging to the playing stage, to avoid fingers getting tangled (just snip it off just above the head).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere may be slight variations in the product you receive from the images shown. Everything is handmade by me in my home in Adelaide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis item is made with acrylic yarn and filled with Polyfilla, making it fully washable on a gentle cycle. I wouldn’t recommend tumble drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOllie is approx. 20cm high and 6cm wide, with an additional 10cm loop to hang.
