Great for a baby!
I got this for my three month old baby. I got her six year old brother the big hippo (he’s obsessed). People do need to realise that this hippo is *tiny*. Right about 7.5″ long, not much longer then your standard nail file. That said, it’s perfect for my baby! It has some weight to it – not much, literally a couple oz. But it’s perfect for my little one to grasp and chew on and such. I like to warm it and hand it to her after putting her in her carseat. It takes about 20seconds in my microwave, the instructions recommend 10seconds, but my microwave is really tiny and not super high powered. Once heated, I scrunch the grains about a little to distribute the heat, it helps. I really like that the outer is cotton. Given its going to be chewed on, I prefer that to polyester. The arms, legs and head are stuffed with what I assume is polyester fiberfill, the body has the corn grains, and the ears and tail have no stuffing. Because this was going to a baby, I washed it per the instructions. First with a wet soapy cloth, then washed off the soap with a cloth that was wet with water only. Then hung it near our woodstove to dry. I got it quite wet, without soaking it, so the corn stayed dry. It was pretty effective and simple enough. Obviously I’d prefer I could put it in my machine in a mesh bag because, easy. But I don’t mind the handwashing, either. I also love the texture of the fabric, it feels like a soft cotton towel (it’s not plush like regular polyester stuffys). It’ll be a great texture when my girl starts teething. I also love that I can freeze it. It’ll be great to do that in summer when it’s super hot out! Or when someone has a bump. Pictures are of my six year holding both dolls, and the small one with a measuring tape for reference on size. Overall, I think this purchase is fantastic. And it really is a wonderful size for my baby. I also love that she and my son get to match! So cute!

Cute but very small
This is super cute, however it is incredibly small. I donât know that the microwave function is even very usable because the unicorn itself is so small and the stomach is so tiny. My daughter loves it regardless, but if you need an actual heating or warming pad for actual use of something warm, not sure this is the one for you.

They are small and a little weight to them Perfect.
Love these, purchased for a new , very small puppy. I heat them in the microwave a few minutes for her bedtime she settles right down.

Cute!
I bought the monkey for a friend and I think it’s really cute 🙂 I personally am not telling her it’s a thermal plush because I’ve seen the reviews on if you overheat it in the microwave… lol. But as a normal stuffed animal with beads inside or something, I think it works just fine! It is a little small, so note that. Worth 10 dollars? I think it would have been better as 5 or something because of how small it is, honestly. It is a nice material though, kind of like one of those older/vintage stuffed animals which I like. I think it would definitely be perfect for a child considering how small it is. But if you like little stuffed animals then it would be perfect for you :)Overall really small and cute, price could be lowered though. Heating this up may not be the best idea because of the corn inside.

So cute
My son is absolutely obsessed with this, his name is monk. He has held up nicely over the last couple months. We donât heat him up often, but when we do it doesnât get to hot which is perfect since my son is 7. He is pretty soft, small and cute

Cute, comforting, and kid-friendly cold/hot pack
The Thermal-Aid Mini Happy The Hippo is adorable and really helps soothe my childâs bumps and bruises. The soft, plush cover is cuddly and kid-approved, making it way easier to apply than a regular cold pack that kids often resist.It heats up quickly in the microwave and stays warm for a good 15-20 minutes, or you can pop it in the freezer for a nice cold compress. The size is perfect for little hands and small bumps â not too bulky or heavy.My toddler loves hugging it when feeling ouchy, and I love that itâs reusable and safe, without any harsh chemicals or mess. A great little comfort item for the medicine cabinet or daycare bag!Pros:Cute animal design kids loveSoft and cozy coverEffective hot or cold therapyEasy to use and reusablePerfect size for toddlers and small kidsCons:Cover isnât removable for washing (spot clean only)Heat lasts 15â20 minutes, so you may need to reheat for longer useOverall, a delightful and practical cold/hot pack that makes first aid a bit more fun for kids!
