LALA the Whale

About LALA the Whale

We don't believe in toxic relationships.
So we made LALA the Whale.
Made from cotton and filled with pure wool.
The Large version also comes with a removable weighted insert filled with cherry stones.
A soft toy made the way we think soft toys should be made.

Made with care

LALA the Whale is made by skilled seamstresses at our partner sewing studio in Bulgaria.
We chose a small-scale production setup built around skilled craftsmanship, fair working conditions and close collaboration.
Made by people, not production lines.

Care

LALA the Whale is made to stay.
Wool naturally settles and changes over time, so the filling can be accessed, refreshed and supplemented when needed.

FAQ

Questions and answers

What is LALA the Whale made of?

LALA the Whale is made from OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Class I certified cotton and filled with 100% pure wool. We don’t believe synthetic stuffing belongs in a cuddly toy.

The Large LALA also comes with a removable weighted insert filled with cherry pits, allowing you to add extra weight to the toy.

We’ve carefully chosen the materials. Including the ones you can’t see.

What age is LALA the Whale suitable for?

LALA comes in two sizes, and it’s important to choose the model that suits your child’s age and needs.

Both sizes are CE marked for children from birth (0+).

However, the Danish Safety Technology Authority does not recommend weighted products for babies under six months. For this reason, we recommend using the weighted insert included with the Large version only from six months of age.

What is the difference between Small and Large LALA?

Both whales are made from cotton and filled with wool.

The small version measures 50 cm in length, while the large version measures 85 cm.

The large version also includes a removable weighted insert filled with cherry pits. This can be placed inside the toy to add extra weight, turning it into a weighted soft toy.

We recommend using the weighted insert only from six months of age.

How do I wash LALA?

LALA is made from natural materials and should be cared for accordingly.

We recommend spot cleaning whenever possible. If a full wash is necessary, remove the wool filling before washing. Please note that the wool inside the fins cannot be removed.

Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle and allow LALA to air dry completely.

Put the wool filling back inside the whale and close the zipper.

How do I keep LALA in good condition for as long as possible?

Natural materials change over time. Wool can become compressed with use.

That’s why LALA has a concealed zipper that gives you access to the filling, except for the fins.

If the toy loses some of its volume, simply open the inner compartment, gently separate the wool fibres and redistribute the filling.

You can also add more wool if needed, helping LALA last for many years.

For safety reasons, the zipper has no pull tab. To open it, insert a safety pin, paper clip or similar small object through the zipper slider and use it as a temporary pull tab.

Keep both the filling and any objects used to open the zipper out of children’s reach.

Why is LALA filled with wool instead of polyester?

We’ve chosen not to use polyester because we believe nature already provides some excellent materials.

Wool is a natural, soft and breathable fibre. Unlike polyester, it does not shed microplastics.

We simply don’t believe polyester filling or fabric belongs in a soft toy that children hold close, cuddle and are likely to put in their mouths.
