Meet Nancy, the seagull that swooped on in and immediately became everyone's favourite. Made from beautifully soft 100% cotton plush in white, with mustard corduroy feet, pink corduroy wings, and a classic black-and-white scarf, she has a delightfully quirky character that children fall in love with on first sight. A playful and truly unique baby shower gift or birthday surprise.
Nancy loves twirling in the garden, borrowing her mum's old pearl necklaces, and making up elaborate songs that only she knows the words to. She doesn't like itchy jumpers.
100% cotton plush is naturally gentle, breathable, and beautifully soft — ideal for newborns and young children. Nancy sold out fast in her first run, and it's easy to see why. If you love cotton plush, then you need to also spend some time with Nancy's friend Elliot dog - an unlikely pair we know but there is a lot of love between these two
For a full wash: place in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cold cycle
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.
Lay flat to dry — do not tumble dry
Do not bleach
100% cotton plush holds its shape and softness well after washing.

FAQ's
Q: Is Nancy Seagull suitable for newborns?
A: Suitable from birth. We always recommend adult supervision when young children are sleeping with soft toys.
Q: What is Nancy made from?
A: Nancy is made from 100% cotton plush in white, with mustard and pink cotton corduroy details. Australian designed. Because we're committed to quality and affordability, our toys are manufactured overseas to exacting standards.
Q: Is Nancy a unique or unusual baby gift?
A: She absolutely is — Nancy is one of our most distinctive characters, and a firm favourite with parents who want something a little different from the usual bunny or bear. She sold out quickly in her first run.
Q: Does Nancy come gift wrapped?
A: Gift wrapping is available at checkout — perfect if you're sending directly to the recipient.
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!
