As I was looking for a gift or two for my son's first Christmas, I found Kathe Kruse's Poupsi Green and fell in love. It is a doll and teether in one. The ring for grabbing and teething is made of beech wood finished with bees wax. The doll itself is bright and colorful and has an adorable, smiling expression on its face. Plus, you can remove the ring and throw the doll right in the washing machine! The doll seemed too perfect to pass up, so I ordered it.

Now that the Poupsi has arrived at my home, I am even more excited. The cotton body of the doll actually has two different textures; the stripes are smooth and the green is plush and velvety. Its little hands and feet are knotted and seem perfect for tiny fingers to rub and manipulate, and once I saw the cute little expression on its face in person, it made my heart melt. The toy seems very well-made, so it should hold up to lots of chewing and a few cycles in my washing machine.

If you are looking for a great baby toy, the Poupsi is a great option at $20. - Sara I.
