Easter Bunny or Lamb Plush? Sizes and Which to Pick for Baby

The right Easter plush starts with how your baby will use it

A bunny or lamb plush can be a cuddly companion, a basket centerpiece, or a sensory toy. The best pick depends on your baby’s age, how they play, and whether you want a keepsake or something small enough to toss in a diaper bag.

The three options here differ in size, format, and price: two Marshmallow Zoo bunnies (19 inches and 13 inches) and a 6×6-inch Taggies Crinkle Me Sherbet Lamb. I’ll walk through what each one offers so you can decide without second-guessing.

Marshmallow Cottonball Bunny: 19 inches vs. 13 inches

• Marshmallow Big Cottonball Bunny – 19″: Marshmallow Big Cottonball Bunny is a soft toy from the Mary Meyer Marshmallow Zoo collection, sized at 19 inches. The 19-inch size makes it a substantial plush—great for older babies who like to hug and hold, but it takes up more room in a basket.

  

• Marshmallow Cottonball Bunny – 13″: Marshmallow Cottonball Bunny is a soft stuffed toy from the Marshmallow Zoo collection, sized at 13 inches. At 13 inches, this bunny is easier for smaller hands to manage and fits more comfortably in a standard Easter basket.

  

When a smaller, textured lamb makes more sense

If your baby is still in the mouthing, grabbing, and exploring stage, a smaller plush with varied textures may hold attention better than a large cuddle buddy. The Taggies Crinkle Me Sherbet Lamb is a 6×6-inch crinkle square with a lamb design, part of the Taggies line. It features satin tags and a crinkle texture that can provide tactile stimulation—a feature many babies find calming.

Because it’s flat and lightweight, it’s also a practical basket filler that won’t overwhelm a small basket or a young baby.

Taggies Crinkle Me Sherbet Lamb at a glance

• Taggies Crinkle Me Sherbet Lamb – 6×6″: Taggies Crinkle Me Sherbet Lamb is a soft, lamb-themed crinkle square from Mary Meyer, listed at 6×6 inches and part of the Taggies collection. The small size and crinkle/tag features make it a good first Easter gift for babies who are starting to reach and explore textures.

Side-by-side: which plush fits your plan?

• Big Cottonball Bunny (19″): Largest option; best for cuddling and older babies. Takes up more basket space.
• Cottonball Bunny (13″): Mid-size; easier for little hands and fits most baskets. A good balance of cuddle and portability.
• Taggies Crinkle Me Sherbet Lamb (6×6″): Smallest and flat; ideal for sensory play and small baskets. Not a cuddle-sized plush.

Price and value: what the catalog shows

The 19-inch bunny is listed at $27.06 (compare at $41.00), the 13-inch at $20.59 (compare at $29.00), and the Taggies lamb at $10.36 (compare at $14.00). All three are currently discounted, but the lamb is the most budget-friendly way to add a themed plush to a basket.

Keep in mind that the catalog does not list an age range for any of these items. If you’re buying for a baby under 3, check the product packaging or manufacturer’s guidance for age suitability and any small-part warnings before handing it over.

Three questions to settle it

• How old is the baby?: For babies who are sitting and hugging, a larger bunny (13″ or 19″) may be more satisfying. For younger babies who are just starting to grasp, the small, lightweight lamb is easier to handle.
• Is this for a basket or for cuddling?: If the plush needs to fit inside a basket with other items, the 13-inch bunny or the 6×6-inch lamb are safer bets. The 19-inch bunny works best as a standalone gift or for an older child.
• Do you want a keepsake or a sensory toy?: The Marshmallow bunnies are classic soft toys that can become comfort objects. The Taggies lamb is more of an activity toy with tags and crinkle, which some babies prefer.
