The Kissing Penguin is Kaloo's answer to a problem every parent knows and few toys address: what a baby holds on to when you are not there.

Inside a small front pocket sits a cotton muslin handkerchief. Muslin holds scent unusually well, so a parent can kiss it, keep it close for a while, then slip it back into the pocket. When baby is unsettled, the handkerchief comes out and something of home comes with it.

The green penguin stands 20 cm, made from ribbed corduroy and brushed synthetic fur with an embroidered heart on the chest. Heart-tipped ribbons let the wings be tied together. Filled with 100% recycled polyester 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 POCKET FOR YOUR KISSES - This 20 cm penguin has a small front pocket holding a cotton muslin handkerchief. Kiss it, hold it against you, tuck it back in, and baby can find your scent again whenever they need to.

DESIGNED FOR SEPARATION ANXIETY - Made for creche drop-offs, first nights in their own room and days with a grandparent. A quiet, physical way to make an absent parent feel close.

WINGS THAT TIE TOGETHER - Heart-tipped ribbons at the wingtips fasten the flippers around baby or around another penguin, a small symbol of protection that children instinctively understand.

SOFT WHERE IT COUNTS - Ribbed corduroy against brushed synthetic fur, a generously plump belly built for burying a face in, and an embroidered heart on the chest. Filling is 100% recycled polyester from reclaimed bottles.

WASHABLE AND GIFT READY - Plush and handkerchief are both machine washable at 30 degrees. Supplied in a Kaloo keepsake box with a personalisable insert under the lid.
