Two penguins, one large and one small, in matching blue. The 25 cm parent has wings long enough to fold completely around the 15 cm baby, and heart-tipped ribbons at the wingtips tie the two together.

It is a simple idea, well executed. Untie them and they separate. Tie them back and they are joined again. For a toddler working through first separations, that is a more useful conversation than any amount of reassurance.

Both penguins are made from ribbed corduroy and brushed synthetic fur, with embroidered features and contrast tags for small fingers. Filled with 100% recycled polyester from reclaimed bottles and machine washable at 30 degrees.

Part of Kaloo's Complices collection, a range built around one idea: helping a baby hold on to the bond with their parent through the first separations. Suitable from birth. Arrives in Kaloo's signature keepsake box with a message insert under the lid, so it is ready to give and easy to keep afterwards.

A PARENT AND A BABY, IN PLUSH - Two penguins in matching blue, one 25 cm and one 15 cm. The larger one's wings wrap right around the smaller, which is the whole point of the design.

A TOY THAT EXPLAINS THE BOND - Heart-tipped ribbons at the wingtips tie the two together and untie again. Children grasp the idea long before they can name it: we come apart, we come back together.

TWO TOYS, TWO ROLES - Keep the small penguin in the pram or the creche bag and the large one in the cot, or hand one to an older sibling. A gift that works harder than a single plush.

KALOO SOFTNESS THROUGHOUT - Ribbed corduroy and brushed synthetic fur with embroidered detail and touch-distinct tags. Both are filled with 100% recycled polyester made from reclaimed plastic bottles.

STANDOUT BIRTH GIFT - Machine washable at 30 degrees and presented as a pair in a matching Kaloo keepsake box with a message insert, ready for a baby shower or new-arrival gift.
