What are FLATOUTbears made of?

FLATOUTbears are made of 100% Australian sheepskin. Besides being unbelievably soft and irresistibly snuggly, sheepskin has self-cleaning properties, is naturally anti-bacterial and it repels water, making it the perfect material for a child’s teddy bear.

What colours are FLATOUTbears available in?

We have a number of yummy colours including Milk, Honey, Latte, Chocolate, Koala, Rosie and Bluey. In our FLATOUTbear Baby range we also have Leopard and in our original FLATOUTbear range we have a Licorice bear.

Why are FLATOUTbears flat?

Besides being a family tradition, the main advantage of a flat bear is that they are super easy to snuggle and can be used like a pillow. Flat bears are also suitable for babies as they don’t have any protruding features. They make the perfect baby gift.

Do FLATOUTbears make a good gift?

FLATOUTbears make the BEST baby gift! A new baby gift, a baby shower gift or a child’s first teddy bear. Parents and children love FLATOUTbears and many customers return to buy additional bears for friends and family. We’ll even include a handwritten card when sending a FLATOUTbear as a gift… Just be warned – you may become the child’s favourite person!  See our bears here.

Are FLATOUTbears suitable for babies?

FLATOUTbears have been tested to meet Australian, NZ, USA, EU and UK children’s toy safety requirements (CE tested). We always recommend that you follow the SIDS guidelines and use a common sense approach when giving a FLATOUTbear to your child. For newborns, we recommend you put the FLATOUTbear under your baby’s head when changing them, have it close when feeding or use a little breast milk to help with attachment. FLATOUTbears make the perfect baby gift, baby shower gift or a baby’s first teddy bear.

Where are FLATOUTbears made?

FLATOUTbears are made in China from 100% Australian sheepskin. We have been working with the same family in China for more than 15 years, where the sheepskins that make FLATOUTbears are tanned, hand cut and sewn together before returning to their home in Australia where the FLATOUTbear team in Sydney inspect, groom and pack each bear ready to be sent to you, wherever you are in the world!
