Meet Buurtje Bear: not just a cuddly toy, but a friend for life. Crafted from the softest New Zealand Merino sheepskin, this little bear offers a sense of natural warmth and comfort that no synthetic plush can rival. Whether keeping watch over the nursery or offering comfort on the sofa, Buurtje Bear is a beautiful expression of luxury, nature, and Dutch heritage.

Why Buurtje Bear is simply irresistible

The choice of 100% Merino wool makes all the difference. Unlike regular wool, Merino fleece has a much finer structure, giving the bear a silky-soft feel that never itches. Wool itself is a marvel of nature: it’s breathable, temperature-regulating, and naturally rich in lanolin. These natural wool fats make the bear dirt-repellent and antibacterial, ensuring Buurtje Bear stays fresh and clean for years to come—always ready for the next cuddle.

Safety & Design: Softness in every detail

As Buurtje Bear is often a newborn’s very first companion, no compromises were made when it comes to safety and comfort. While many soft toys use hard plastic eyes or noses, Buurtje Bear is entirely soft. The eyes and mouth are carefully crafted from contrasting sheepskin and securely stitched onto the bear. This means there are no hard parts that could press into your baby’s delicate face while they drift off to sleep.

Please note: Buurtje Bear arrives beautifully presented with a decorative ribbon. We recommend removing this ribbon before giving the bear to a baby or young child. Without the ribbon, Buurtje Bear is the safest cuddle companion you could wish for.

A unique character in size and colour

Because wool is a natural product, no two fleeces are exactly alike. This means every Buurtje Bear has its own unique character and appearance. To suit your personal taste or the style of the nursery, the collection is available in several variations. Choose between timeless Natural White or a warm Chestnut Brown.

Buurtje Bear also comes in two sizes. The small version is perfectly sized for little hands—ideal for the crib or stroller. Looking for something more substantial? The large version makes a beautiful statement piece in the nursery and a sturdy cuddle buddy for toddlers and preschoolers who love to take their favourite friend everywhere.

The perfect sustainable baby gift

Looking for a baby gift that truly stands out and lasts for years? A sheepskin teddy bear is a timeless classic, cherished across generations. Unlike plastic toys, Buurtje Bear only becomes more beautiful with age. It’s a sustainable, eco-conscious gift that both parents and children will fall in love with.
