✷I'm quieter than normal. Maybe I go nonverbal, speak less, or can't speak as well.

✷I get extra clingy. I don't want to leave my caregiver's side, cling to them more than normal, etc.

✷I use a baby voice/baby talk

✷I don't want to/can't do things for myself

✷I get spacey/stare off into space

✷I want my comfort items more than normal like my stuffies

(Cleaning Instructions by Mary Meyer)

WASHING for newer soft toys, including baby mats, those with squeakers, crinkle paper, plastic activity pieces, and rattles:

Give your toy a hug and tell them it’s all going to be ok.

Place your friend into a mesh bag or clean pillow case.

Tie a knot or use a rubber band to keep them safe and secure in their bag.

Wash in cold water on the delicate cycle. Listen for their giggles.

DRYING soft toys:

All toys should be laid flat to air dry.

After drying, brush or fluff, and ask if they enjoyed the ride.

Cleaning for vintage toys, those with a sound box inside, metallic details, and long pile fabric:

These toys should not be fully submerged, they are poor swimmers.

Dampen a cloth with water and mild soap. Tell them it’s going to be okay.

Wash the surface of your toy lovingly, asking, “who’s the good boy/girl?”
