Warmies are plush animals stuffed with natural grains and French lavender for a relaxing scent. They come in dozens of designs, including dogs, cats, sharks, sloths and axolotls, so there's something to appeal to almost any animal lover. They're designed to retain heat, so after warming them in the microwave, they can keep you warm for hours. Or you might want to use them to soothe cramps or other aches and pains.
Because of their grain filling, they're weightier than average stuffed toys. This can have sensory benefits or help with stress relief. Although they're considered toys, Warmies microwavable stuffed animals aren't just for kids. People of all ages use Warmies and so can you.
The natural grains inside Warmies microwavable stuffed animals hold on to heat, which is how these toys can act as a heat pad or hot water bottle. It's super simple to warm them up. You just put the toy in a microwave for 60 seconds on a 1,000-watt setting. You can also turn Warmies into a cold compress, which is handy on hot days or for kids who have a fever. To chill your Warmie, put it in a sealed freezer bag and stick in the freezer for two to three hours.

Warmies Calico Cat Heatable Lavender Scented Stuffed Animal
Calling all cat lovers, this calico kitty is in need of a home. It's 14 inches long and weighs 1.5 pounds, so it can act as a weighted toy with sensory benefits. Like other Warmies, the whole toy is microwavable. There's no need to remove an inner bag to microwave it.
