Blessings Lamb Blankee is a 12” soft white lamb, featuring a satin-lined white robe that flows down from the lamb’s upper torso and is embossed with a cross. A bow around the neck features scripted-font text that reads “Jesus Loves Me.” The lamb can be customized with a 12” gender-specific bib (MSRP $14). The girl’s bib is distinguished by frilled edges whereas the boy’s bib features a smooth edge.

This 8" plush, chocolate colored meadow mouse holds a cross in one hand. "We like to think of the MiFe Mouse as a reminder that big messages such as 'my faith' can be carried out by the smallest of creatures," Michael Kessler, Aurora’s SVP of sales and marketing, told TDmonthly. Also comes in a "Lord is my Shepherd" Mouse, cradling a lamb.

The church includes an altar, choir loft with organ, pews, and a stuffed family of 6 plus Father Juan Pablo.
