TY Crystal the Caterpillar Beanie Bouncer - 10cm Plush Ball

Crystal the Caterpillar Beanie Bouncer is one of Ty's Beanie Bouncers: a 10cm plush ball wrapped around a bouncy rubber centre, made for throwing as much as hugging.

About Crystal

Crystal is a caterpillar from Ty's own cast of characters rather than a licensed one, which means Crystal is only available through the Ty range. Every Ty character carries its own name on the swing tag, and collectors tend to hunt for specific ones rather than buying at random.

Key features

• High-bounce rubber core wrapped in a soft plush cover
• Palm-sized, so it is easy for smaller hands to catch and throw
• Doubles as a cuddly toy when the bouncing is done
• Genuine Ty product, supplied with the red Ty Heart swing tag

Gifting and collecting

This is an easy gift to get right. It is inexpensive, instantly recognisable, and children who already own one Ty plush almost always want another.

How the sizes compare

Beanie Bouncers sit apart from the rest of the Ty range because they are built for active play. They are around 10cm across, roughly palm-sized, and the rubber core means they need a bit of open space. For a child who wants something purely to cuddle, a regular Beanie Boo is the better fit.

Care instructions

Surface wash only: wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then allow to air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and the eyes.

About the brand

Ty is the company behind the original Beanie Babies, and almost every line it has released since works on the same principle of collect-them-all character plush at pocket-money prices. Each product carries the red Ty Heart swing tag, which doubles as proof it is genuine.

Suitable for ages 3 and over. Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts, which present a choking hazard. Retain the swing tag information for future reference.
