Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

Possibly the best part of this toy is that it is safe for any age. 0+ is clearly labeled on the tag for the Gund Baby Flappy Elephant and I think many children will get a kick out of him. I would say he does have a shelf life for entertainment, probably around the 3 or 4 year age mark.
Soft, ideal for snuggling and surface washable
It’s made from a high-quality plush material and suitable for children from birth.
This animated elephant sings, plays peek-a-boo, and flaps its ears.
Just like with any elephant, big ears are this playful pachyderm’s best feature. Your baby will love playing peekaboo as the elephant hides behind its ears, or you can help baby sing along to “Do Your Ears Hang Low.”
