Head
The head, made of thick warm material, plastic eyes, fuzzy nose, and fuzzy blue hat connects to the top of the pillow, signifying bedtime. The head, part of the Sleepy Baby, looks like Winnie the Pooh and assists in keeping baby calm while Mommy and Daddy are not near-by.
Body
The body made of fuzzy cotton, comes in the shape of Winnie the Pooh, who wears a brightly colored sweater. The body holds the music box. The body connects to Piglet, which is Winnie the Pooh’s Sleepy time friend. The body has a push button in front of Piglet and an on/off switch hidden underneath Winnie the Pooh’s bottom.
Pillow
The pillow, made of soft material, cotton, and a plastic support, helps to show baby where baby's sleepy head goes during a nap. The pillow, located at the five o’clock position, lays flat on the mattress an supports the head of Winnie the Pooh.
Remote Control
The remote control, made of colorful plastic, holds two AA batteries. The remote control has a plastic button that starts the music box.
Music Box
The music box, made of plastic and electronic components, sits inside of the body. The music box plays a classical tune, a lullaby, a Pooh song, birds sounds, and nature sounds. The music box plays music when Mommy or Daddy press the button on the remote control or the on/off switch under the body. The music box requires three AA batteries.
