This may look like a wriggly little sea cucumber that just escaped from an underwater circus, but it is, in fact, a darling caterpillar made with lots of love by the ecologically-minded and quality-toys-experienced Kathe Kruse company.

Filled with rye and spelt grains, his soft cotton body is oh so huggable. In fact, with that goofy little face and his appealing colors, you'd feel guilty NOT hugging and kneading the little fellah.

Pop his rye and spelt innards into the microwave or conventional oven until they're warm (because, as it stands, only his heart comes already warmed) for a calming neck pillow, or place his innards in a plastic bag and cool in the fridge or freezer for 30-60 minutes for the perfect owie-buster. Great for warm days, chilly nights, and giving lots of love to anyone he meets.

Colorful Cuddles measures 17" long.
