At 16" tall, this Empire Penguin is a microwaveable heating pad and cold pack.  It is filled with a non-toxic water based gel.    Just place it in the microwave and you will have a cuddly , huggable Empire Penguin that will stay warm for over 5+ hours.  Allow a few minutes for the heat to come to the surface and give it a big hug. The more you hug it the hotter it will get.  If you want to reheat it while it's still warm, microwave it for only half minutes. 

To use as a cold pack, place it in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer for at least 12 hours.  When you take it out and hug it, it will keep you cool on those hot days and nights. 

Comes with complete detailed instructions.
