Jellycat Maya Octopus - Large 18.5-Inch Ocean Plush Toy

Meet Maya Octopus, a large ocean-inspired plush from Jellycat that invites warm hugs and playful moments. With eight jumbo corduroy tentacles and a wide embroidered smile, Maya feels soft, responsive, and wonderfully comforting in a child’s arms or a cozy reading nook.

Her dusky mauve fur carries a silvery sheen that catches the light, while a contrasting cream ribbed underbelly adds tactile variety you can explore with your fingertips.

Designed for everyday moments, Maya Octopus blends premium materials with thoughtful craftsmanship. The soft plush surfaces are inviting to the touch, while the stitched smile and proportional tentacles convey a friendly, approachable character. This is more than a toy; it’s a comforting friend that invites gentle play, storytelling, and quiet companionship during naps, evenings, or car rides.
