A Jellycat Octopus is a friend for life.
Those 8 furry curly Jellycat Octopus arms have inspired us to write a little information on these loveable creatures.
- What are their names and colours: Odell, was the first in this range of Octopus – she has soft apricot fur, next came Storm, who has a lovely dusky blue tone, then came Odyssey with a duck egg tone blue. All featuring bright happy smiles and glassy black eyes. Whilst an Octopus in the ocean can change colours for amazing communications and feelings… Ours do not – but luckily being available in so many sizes and colours you can certainly have one of each pretend play!
2. There are plenty of ‘octopus’ in the sea!
This is the big one – let’s find our who the key players are. There are currently 4 colours available in the Jellycat octopus range. Meet Odell Octopus, Odyssey Octopus and Storm Octopus, in 5 sizes! but not all are available in each of the different sizes. Hopefully this visual above will help you with different options available from the main range.

6. Octopus-like toys have been widely used by hospitals and parents of preemies to help their babies, they are said to bring comfort with the tentacles being similar to an umbilical cord. The legs on the Octopus made by Jellycat have a similar make up – springy, soft and bit squidgy – would make a great ‘Welcome to the world’ gift.
