Life on the farmBehind the scenesWorld Plush Day: the Willys are out in force
For World Plush Day, our cuddly Willys took over the farm! A lovely opportunity to talk about earthworms with children, gently.
- The Willy soft toys celebrated World Plush Day.
- A soft toy is a wonderful way to start talking to children about nature.
- Willy is about 73 cm long and washable.
They're super soft, they wear a boater hat and there are lots of them: for World Plush Day, our Willys are out in force! They took over the farm for a very successful photo shoot.
A cuddly toy… that makes children love earthworms
Many children find earthworms a bit icky at first. The Willy the earthworm soft toy changes all that: a big, smiling, super-soft worm that can be twisted every which way. After a cuddle, real worms suddenly seem much friendlier!
Learning about nature through play
With Willy, you can tell children all about what earthworms do:
- they eat our peelings and turn them into fertiliser;
- they dig tunnels that aerate the soil;
- they help plants grow well.

Happy Plush Day!
