Orca

My toddler grabbed this orca the second she saw it and hasn't put it down since — the rounded edges make it perfect for her tiny hands without any sharp bits. It's solid enough for rough play but light enough for her to carry around on all her ocean adventures.

The tail has a nice weight to it that makes it feel sturdy, and the smooth finish is perfect for tiny hands to grip during play. My daughter has already taken it on three imaginary ocean adventures this afternoon, and it's held up beautifully every time.

The way it sits perfectly in my kid's hand is the best part—solid enough for rough play, but light enough for him to carry around on all his ocean adventures. The shape is really true to a real orca, which makes it easy to weave into all kinds of stories.
