Entry Description

OctoBuddy is a huggable octopus plush that encourages exploratory play while the child learns how to use buttons. Many children become attached to their own special stuffed animals, so OctoBuddy was created as an educational approach to these plush buddies. The tentacles are lined with buttons and buttonholes, allowing the child to make connections based on how they want to play. Created with 100% biodegradable and sustainable materials, OctoBuddy minimizes long-term impact on the Earth. Ages 5+
