MR PICKLES Drew – soft duck toy with bag, 43 cm

A curious little duck with quirky charm and a heart full of adventures.
Drew the Duck is part of the beloved MR PICKLES collection — a British brand known for creating handcrafted, emotionally meaningful toys designed to nurture children’s imagination, empathy, and a sense of comfort. More than just a plush animal, Drew is a gentle companion who inspires storytelling, exploration, and quiet moments of connection.

Dressed in a removable playsuit that ties at the back and carrying a small "bread bag" for tiny treasures, Drew combines style and play in a beautifully thoughtful way. These elements encourage independent play, fine motor skills, and imagination-driven adventures — all essential to a child’s cognitive and emotional development.

Whether your child is caring for Drew, packing a pretend snack, or simply snuggling him close at bedtime, this duck becomes more than a toy — he becomes a trusted friend and emotional anchor.

Drew’s soft tones, natural textures, and minimal facial features are inspired by Waldorf education, allowing children to project their feelings and create personal narratives through play. He fits beautifully into Montessori-aligned homes and families who value simplicity, sustainability, and meaningful connection.

With Drew, play becomes purposeful:

• Children naturally express emotions and practice empathy

• Role-play scenarios support early language development

• Dressing, undressing, and imaginative care foster responsibility and self-confidence

• The included bag invites storytelling, pretend travel, and collecting small "adventure finds"

This type of open-ended, emotionally rich play helps children feel seen, grounded, and safe — especially during transitions or new experiences like starting preschool or sleeping independently.
