Newborn


At this stage, babies are developing basic motor skills and sensory awareness. Look for toys and products that stimulate their senses, such as those with bright colors, sounds, and textures. Babies are beginning to track objects with their eyes and starting to grasp things, so toys that encourage reaching and holding are great. Soft, safe, and easy-to-handle items are essential, as well as those that promote tummy time and head control.

Her long ears, gentle eyes, and sweet little nose invite little ones to engage and connect, while the small bean bags in her arms, legs, and bottom provide a delightful sensory experience.


Hoppie Rabbit is more than just a plush toy; she’s a comforting presence that will soothe and accompany the baby through bedtime and beyond. The special touch of Steiff magic in her left ear makes her an even more unique and cherished keepsake.
