Meet Otte the Octopus
Otte is an octopus who is brilliant at playing hide-and-seek. Octopuses can change their appearance to blend in with the surface beneath them, allowing Otte to easily disguise himself as a stone or even a football. Besides playing hide-and-seek, this octopus also loves cuddles. He will wrap his tentacles around your arm, neck, or body and give you a proper squeeze.
With Otte the Octopus, you're always safe. When he feels threatened, the octopus squirts out a huge cloud of pitch-black ink. Thanks to the ink, the attacker can no longer see and Otte can escape and hide. When Otte is nearby, the octopus will protect you too. If you get attacked, Otte will spray a big cloud of ink for you as well. This way, the octopus blinds all your attackers and you can easily get away from any danger.
AN OCTOPUS FOR THE OCEAN AND THE PLANET
Otte is an octopus for you, the ocean and the planet. This cuddly is indeed made from recycled materials. This means less energy is needed to make this teddy bear. As a result, this soft toy has an ecological footprint up to 50% smaller than other cuddles.
The choice of recycled materials means that Make a Bear's eco-friendly cuddles actively contribute to reducing the waste mountain. And that is hugely important for all marine life. Currently, a great deal of rubbish ends up in the oceans. This waste poses a threat to all the animals living there. They choke on the rubbish, get trapped in it, or see their habitat destroyed. By choosing an eco-friendly cuddle like Otte the Octopus, you are protecting all the animals in the ocean.
NATURAL SHEEPSKIN FILLING BY MOLWOL
Thanks to a collaboration with MolWol, you can fill your Make a Bear cuddles with genuine natural sheep's wool. The wool from MolWol comes from sheep that, accompanied by their shepherd and shepherd dog, move from green area to green area in the Mol region to practice natural nature management. The sheep's fleece is sheared every year and then sent to a wool washing facility in Verviers (Belgium). In the only washing plant in the Benelux, the wool is washed before returning to Mol. In the municipality of Mol, the wool is further processed by the sheltered workshop Lidwina.
FILL YOUR CUDDLE WITH MOLWOL
Fill your eco-friendly Make a Bear cuddle with genuine natural sheep's wool from the Kempen region. Sheep's wool is a natural material that contains lanolin. This is a natural oil that protects the wool against dirt and bacteria. By filling your cuddle with sheep's wool, it stays clean for longer, meaning you won't need to wash it as often. What's more, MolWol wool is also an eco-friendly material that releases far less COâ‚‚ during production than traditional cuddle stuffing.
