Its key benefit is its exceptionally soft, velvety woven fur, making it a delightful companion for play and display.

FAQs

What age is the Cappy Dolphin suitable for?

The Cappy Dolphin is suitable for children of all ages. However, it is always recommended to supervise young children during playtime.

How do I wash the Cappy Dolphin?

You can machine wash the Cappy Dolphin at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. It is best to air dry it afterward.

Can I put the Cappy Dolphin in the dryer?

No, it is not recommended to put the Cappy Dolphin in a tumble dryer. High heat can damage the soft woven fur and affect its shape. Air drying is the preferred method.

What does the 'Button in Ear' signify?

The 'Button in Ear' is the original and world-famous trademark of Steiff, signifying an authentic, high-quality plush toy or collectible.

Is the fur safe for sensitive skin?

Steiff uses high-quality, soft woven fur that is generally well-tolerated. The materials are designed to be safe and comfortable for children.

How should I store the dolphin if not in use?

Store the dolphin in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and maintain the quality of the fur. Ensure it is clean before storing.

Troubleshooting

Dolphin appears flat or lost its shape after washing.

Gently reshape the dolphin while it is still slightly damp. Once fully dry, use a soft brush to fluff up the fur. Avoid machine drying, as this can cause matting.

Fur feels rough or matted after cleaning.

Ensure you used a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Air dry completely and then use a soft-bristled brush (like a baby brush) to gently comb the fur and restore its softness.

The 'Button in Ear' tag is loose.

For minor looseness, carefully attempt to tighten the threads if possible. If significantly loose or detached, it is recommended to contact Steiff customer service for repair options, as this is a key identifier of authenticity.
