Bat Plush Toy | Eco Toys for Nature-Loving Kids

Bats are some of nature's most misunderstood animals, and these Wild Republic plush toys make them easy to love. They're part of the Australian Museum Shop's Bloodsuckers: Legends to Leeches range and suit children who ask questions about the animals around them.

Choose your bat

• Blue Bat Hugger (20 cm): This soft blue plush has detailed wing shaping. The small wings wrap around a wrist or a backpack strap. It's an everywhere companion for nature walks, school bags and museum visits.

• Hanging Bat (53 cm): This large black bat is made from 100% recycled fabrics, with fill spun from recycled plastic bottles. A hook-and-loop fastening lets it hang from a shelf, bedpost or backpack, as real bats hang when they roost. Embroidered eyes

• Flying Fox (30 cm): Australian favourite flying marsupial is made from 100% recycled fabrics, with embroidered eyes. It's surface washable and a cuddly 30 cm wide

Bats help keep ecosystems healthy by eating insects and pollinating plants. A bat soft toy is an easy way to start a conversation about nocturnal animals, flight and the wildlife that comes out after dark.
