Jellycat FAQ & Care Guide

About Jellycat

For over 25 years, Jellycat (often misspelled as “Jelly Cat” or “Jelly Cats”) has delighted fans worldwide with its incredibly soft stuffed animals (or soft toys). Based in London and loved in over 77 countries, Jellycat designs range from the famous Bashful Bunny line to quirky Amuseables plushies—each character exudes charm and makes for a perfect snuggle buddy.

Why Are Jellycats So Special?

• Unmistakable Cuteness: Whimsical expressions, fun shapes, and playful colours make Jellycats stand out.
• Supremely Soft Fabrics: Jellycat sources premium materials, creating that signature cuddle factor we all love.
• Magical Designs: The designers keep “playing” until they find something unique—so every plush, from avocados to zebras, offers a delightful surprise.

Popular Jellycat Lines

• Bashful Series: Known for sweet, floppy-eared bunnies, dogs, kittens, and more.
• Amuseables: Quirky food-themed friends (think croissants, avocados, or coffee cups).
• Seasonal & Holiday Plush: Special editions for festive occasions (Halloween, Christmas, etc.).

Safety First

All Jellycat products meet British, American, European, and Australian safety standards, bearing the CE and UKCA marks. Some designs carry recommended age guidelines on their labels—always double-check before gifting to a baby or toddler. Remove all packaging and keep the product label info for reference.

Age Suitability

• Many Jellycat soft toys are suitable from birth, but some have small parts or special notes.
• Verify the age recommendation on the sewn-in tag or packaging, especially for newborns or young toddlers.

Washing & Care

• Check the Label:
  • Certain Jellycats can be machine-washed on a 30°C gentle cycle.
  • Others are surface-clean only.
• No Heat:
  • Avoid tumble drying, ironing, or dry cleaning—these can damage fabrics.
• Gentle Is Best:
  • When in doubt, use mild soap and a gentle hand-wash or spot-clean.

Quick Revival Tips

1. Shake It Out: Give your Jellycat a gentle shake to fluff up the fur.
2. Shape Limbs: Lightly pull or massage arms, legs, or tails back into their original form.
3. Fluff & Ruffle: Run your fingers through any tangles—most Jellycats love a bit of pampering.
4. Repeat as Needed: Anytime your plush looks a little tired, just fluff it back to life.
