Mary Meyer Junior Gumdrops Bunny - 9-Inch Marshmallow Zoo Plush with Weighted Bum
Mary Meyer Junior Gumdrops Bunny - 9-Inch Marshmallow Zoo Plush with Weighted Bum
The Mary Meyer Marshmallow Junior Gumdrops Bunny is a 9-inch plush toy made from ultra-soft white fabric, designed for cuddling and play from birth. With floppy ears lined in pastel purple and green, a soft fabric nose, and a gently embroidered mouth, this bunny has a sweet expression. Its weighted bum and feet let it sit upright, and the slouchy body makes it easy for little hands to carry. Machine washable and meeting US safety standards, it's a durable companion for quiet time, egg hunts, or everyday adventures.
What makes this bunny different from other stuffed animals?
Unlike many soft toys, the Gumdrops Bunny has a weighted bottom and feet, which help it stay seated without tipping over. The body is deliberately slouchy, making it comfortable to hug and easy for a child to hold. The eyes are attached using a sonic welding process that fuses them to the fabric—no small parts that could come loose—and the toy passes safety requirements for ages zero and up. The combination of white plush with purple and green pastel details gives it a cheerful, spring-like look that stands out from typical beige or pink bunnies.

Answering your top questions about this bunny
Is the bunny safe for a newborn?
Yes, the toy meets or exceeds US safety standards for ages zero and up. The eyes are sonic welded, so there are no small parts that could become loose. Always supervise play with any plush toy for the youngest children.
What does 'weighted bum' mean?
The bottom of the bunny contains a small amount of added weight, which helps it sit upright on its own. The feet also have a bit of weight, giving the toy a stable base. This makes it easy to pose the bunny for play or display.
Can I put this bunny in the dryer?
The care instructions recommend air drying after a cold water wash. Using a dryer on high heat could damage the plush fabric or affect the weighted parts. For best results, let it air dry naturally.
