There's something wonderfully gentle about Cedric. Made from natural linen cotton with sweet striped linen bloomers, a cosy Australian merino wool knitted jumper, and corduroy details on his feet and nose, he has a timeless, heirloom quality that feels like it belongs in a family for generations. An perfect baby shower gift or keepsake for a new arrival.
Cedric loves folding paper boats with his Grandpa and chasing them down the river. He doesn't like tomatoes.
Each Cedric donkey comes with his own character tag — a little poem in his own words, because every forever friend deserves a proper introduction.
Every detail — from the linen bloomers to the hand-knitted merino jumper — is chosen to be gentle on sensitive skin and beautiful enough to keep forever.
Spot clean with a damp cloth for small marks — this is the gentlest option and will extend the life of me.
I do love a bath (especially with bubbles), but I’m just as happy with a simple soak — it helps me stay soft and last for years to come.
If a full wash is needed: place in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cold cycle.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry.
Do not bleach.
Natural linen cotton may soften slightly with washing — this won't affect the toy's appearance or safety.

Such a gorgeous gift for a little one. Unique designs and I love the use of natural fibres. I have no doubt that this little duck will be loved for years to come. Great presentation on arrival also, perfect for sending directly as a gift.
When you see an item that is meant for a child or a baby, but you're so taken by it as an adult that you think to yourself: " I would totally use this blanket on my own bed, or wrap it around my shoulders while sitting on the porch on a cool summer morning." You're probably talking about the hand crochet 'trad-vibe' blanket from And The Little Dog Laughed. So beautiful is this blanket I bought the sky blue and the caramel ocre as gifts for dear friends who recently had a baby and I know they will love the delicate touch of nostalgia it adds to their lives.
Absolutely adoreable duck....Floyd is my son's name so he is just perfect! Another gorgeous keepsake from The Little Dog Laughed!
