Little fans of Ms. Rachel and her orange friend, Herbie, will love snuggling with the Ms. Rachel Herbie Cuddle & Comfort Friend. Inspired by Ms. Rachel’s popular baby and toddler videos, this toy is made with love to support learning for littles. Plush toys can be a child’s very first pretend play friend, and they are important developmental toys for infants and babies of all ages, stages, and learning abilities because they promote crucial social-emotional milestones through play. The huggable, squeezable, lovable Herbie Cuddle & Comfort Friend is made with the perfect proportions for cuddles and hugs. The doll’s arms can be used by parents and caregivers to mimic and practice gestures like peek-a-boo, up and down, clapping, pointing, blowing kisses, and more—play that encourages early speech development. The Herbie Cuddle & Comfort Friend features super-soft fabric and high quality construction. The baby-safe toy is designed by Ms. Rachel and developmental experts to support all children through their ages and stages, from 6 months to 3+ years. With two master’s degrees in education, Ms. Rachel is a passionate educator—a real teacher!—who creates research-based videos and products to help children and their families learn, bond, and thrive.
