Children's Toy Review: Warmies® Baby Turtle

[Ad-gifted] Some toys come into your life and instantly feel like they were made just for you—and for us, that was the Warmies UK Baby Turtle.

My son, Kitt, has always been affectionately known as “Mr Turtle” in our family. When he was born, he had a rare condition and spent a lot of time in hospital. He used to scrunch up his neck and frown just like a little turtle, and the name stuck. So when we were gifted the Warmies® Baby Turtle, it felt like a match made in heaven.

What we thought of the Warmies® Baby Turtle

Warmies® are well known for their comforting, weighted plush toys that can be gently warmed in the microwave and this turtle is no exception. It combines the softness of a snuggly friend with the warmth of a comforting and scented heat pack, making it ideal for comfort, calm, and cuddles.

Kitt absolutely loves it. Whether he’s curling up after a busy day, feeling a bit under the weather, or just wanting a bit of extra comfort, the turtle is right there with him. It’s not just a toy, it’s quickly become a part of his bedtime routine and a little source of comfort that travels around the house with him.

 

What makes the Warmies® Baby Turtle Special?

  • Soft, velvety texture perfect for cuddles
  • Filled with natural flaxseed and gentle scented with calming real French lavender  sourced from Provence
  • Can be warmed in the microwave or chilled in the freezer
  • Weighted for a calming, soothing effect
  • Machine washable cover for easy cleaning

It’s the kind of toy that appeals to both children and parents, it feels safe, high-quality, and thoughtfully designed. The gentle scent of lavender is soothing without being overwhelming, and the turtle itself is beautifully made with lovely stitching and just the right amount of weight.

What we liked most about the Warmies® Baby Turtle?

Aside from the sentimental connection to Kitt’s nickname, what we loved most is how warm and comforting the toy is—literally and emotionally. The heat helps ease little aches and brings a sense of calm that’s especially helpful during quiet times or when Kitt is feeling unsettled.

It’s also a good size, not too small, but not bulky so it fits perfectly into little arms.

 

Anything we didn’t love?

Honestly, there’s not much to fault. If anything, I’d love the lavender scent to last a bit longer over time, as it faded quite quickly, but that’s a small thing for a toy that brings so much joy and comfort.

 

Final thoughts

The Warmies® Baby Turtle is more than just a toy for us—it’s a little piece of love, warmth, and familiarity wrapped up in a cuddly shell. For our very own Mr Turtle, it’s the perfect companion and a welcome addition to our existing collection of Warmies® that all our children adore.

 

Where to buy the Warmies® and How Much Is It?

You can buy the Warmies® Baby Turtle directly from the Warmies® or through selected retailers like Amazon, John Lewis, and Boots. It’s priced around £24.99 and worth every penny for the comfort it brings.

The turtle is so cute and the meaning behind the turtle is so sweet. We’ve got a flower from warmies and I can’t wait until autumn when we can use it a bit more x
