Les Minouchkas - Emile the Small Bear

Émile loves cakes and counting butterflies, which is a thoroughly lovely combination of priorities for any small bear to have. Designed by Lucille Michieli with all the gentle charm she brings to the Minouchkas world, his articulated body lets him sit, stand and join in with whatever scene is being built, so he becomes a proper character in the story rather than something simply propped up in the background.

We love it because:

• Articulated body lets him sit, stand and pose, joining properly in imaginative play.
• Designed by Lucille Michieli, bringing real warmth and character to the Minouchkas collection.
• Émile's specific, gentle character (cakes, counting butterflies) gives children plenty to build stories around.
• Washable at 30 degrees, practical for a toy that will be loved thoroughly.
• Fits beautifully alongside Minouchkas accessories like the Cradle, the Bed and the Caravan.
• A lovely standalone gift or the start of a much bigger imaginative world.
