Meet Dulcie, the super soft teddy bear who is a forever friend from the very first cuddle. Made from beautifully soft creamy vanilla plush and dressed in a mustard knit jumper made from Australian merino wool, she has a warmth and charm that makes her hard to leave behind. A truly beautiful gift for new baby gift or big brother or sister gift.
Dulcie loves ice-cream sundaes, collecting (everything), eating watermelon in summer and playing on her swing. She doesn't like spinach.
Each Dulcie bear comes with her own character tag — a small story in her own words, because every forever friend deserves a proper introduction.
Soft plush is naturally gentle and beautifully tactile — ideal for newborns and young children. Her Australian merino wool knitted jumper makes her a memorable first teddy to treasure for years to come.
Dulcie also comes in a mini size — and makes a beautiful gift for an older brother or sister when paired with Dulcie Bear Mini for a new baby, so each child has a forever friend of their own.
I do prefer a bath than the machine (especially with bubbles and a good book), but I’m just as happy with a simple soak in a bucket — it helps me stay soft and last for years to come
The plush body can be gently machine washed in cool water with a small amount of mild detergent.
Lay flat to dry. Do not tumble dry.
Do not bleach.
I do love a blow dry to keep me nice and fluffy, you can comb me with a comb or dog brush to help fluff me up
