To wash this!

Ds won’t be happy but it’s getting so grim

Yes! Do it on the sly :) if you rub it vigorously with a towel after it should regain some of the softness.

Get another one! (or two) It is not worth the sheer hell of not having a backup in rotation if/when he loses it.

Put it in a pillowcase to protect it from tears/rips

Maybe give it an extra rinse so it doesn’t smell so strangely (of washing powder).

Thanks 🙏🏻

Open it up a little on a seam. Remove all the stuffing. Wash, rinse, & dry well. Fill with new stuffing & sew shut. Then brush/rub/fluff.

I wash and tumble dry my kids jelly cat bunnies. I put them in a washing net bag. However, my kids quite like it when their toys have a 'bath'.

I second buying another one and then another. I used to rotate them without the kids knowing.

I wash all my kids cuddly toys frequently. My nearly 8 year old has autism and sucks on his toys, he has 2 that he has constantly, so they are really gross 😂 but I just wash them. I don't think it does it much good, but equally they stink so they have to be washed 😂

My youngest charge washes hers every month we only use the shirt twenty minute programme then tumble dry it.we call it a spa day bath sauna then inversion of therapy on the washing line.

Just wash it. And when the fur is matted like this one, try not to think about the things which get stuck under the matts 😋

I washed it and DD’s teddy, DS was fine but DD went crazy because she liked its smell! She’s 9!
