All about Oscar

Oscar the Octopus is more than a teddy, he is meticulously designed to provide comfort to babies from birth and beyond. Keep reading to find what makes Oscar different and join our thriving community of happy parents and children.



Imagine a teddy that mirrors the sensation of a reassuring hand

Oscar the Octopus has been carefully shaped and weighted to replicate this comforting touch. This helps children feel secure and calm, and bring about a feeling that reminds them of you.

When cuddled, weighted teddy bears create feelings akin to a warm hug. This reduces anxiety, stress, and restlessness and promotes a sense of security. 

Weighted products have also been shown to support individuals navigating sensory processing challenges, such as autism and ADHD.


Oscar mimics babies first comfort object 

Babies seek out familiar sensations. Ultrasound images have shown babies holding and interacting with the umbilical cord, but after birth this familiar object is lost. Oscars front tentacles have been designed to replicate the umbilical cord, offering continuity and reassurance to newborns. Helping their transition from womb to world.



Bright and captivating colours

Oscar is made up of some of the first colours baby can see. His deep red/orange colouring will capture their attention and the material on Oscars underside shines like a rainbow. He is visually stimulating experience, which aids in early visual development.


Crafted for little hands

Oscars tentacles are made for little hands to hold. Babies instinctively grasp objects in their hands, this interaction not only provides immediate comfort but also encourages the development of fine motor skills. 

 Oscars is crafted in supersoft and smooth materials, promising multisensory exploration, while ensuring an embrace that remains cuddly and comforting.
