Quick answer
To enjoy Merry Saxmas Sterling, simply turn him on using the switch or button, ensure the included batteries are properly installed, and place him on a flat surface where he can sway and play his jazz tune.
Why Sterling is a standout holiday plush
Merry Saxmas Sterling isn't just a cute reindeer—he's an animated plush that brings a festive jazz vibe to your home. He gently sways and his cheeks light up while playing a jazz rendition of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," making him a delightful centerpiece for holiday gatherings.
Because he comes with batteries included, he's ready to play right out of the box. That convenience is great for last-minute gift giving, but it also means you should know how to replace them when they run out.
Trade-offs to consider
Sterling's musical feature relies on batteries, so you'll need to plan for periodic replacements. The plush is designed for gentle use—avoid rough handling or washing, as that could damage the internal mechanism.
If you're buying this as a gift, consider the recipient's familiarity with battery-operated toys. Some may need a quick explanation of how to activate and care for Sterling.
Step-by-step play guide
- Unbox carefully: Remove Sterling from the box and check that the battery compartment is secure. Do not pull on the saxophone or any attached parts. Avoid using scissors near the plush to prevent accidental cuts.
- Locate the activation switch: Look for a switch or button on the plush, typically on the side or back. Turn it on to start the music and motion. If nothing happens, the batteries may need to be reseated.
- Check the batteries: Open the battery compartment and ensure the 3 AA batteries are inserted correctly, matching the + and - indicators. Replace if needed. Use fresh batteries for best performance; old ones may cause weak movement or sound.
- Place on a flat surface: Set Sterling on a stable, flat surface like a table or shelf so he can sway safely without tipping over. Keep him away from edges where he could fall and get damaged.
- Enjoy the show: Turn him on and let him play his jazz tune. Watch his cheeks light up as he sways—perfect for setting a cozy holiday mood. For longer battery life, turn him off when not in use.
- Troubleshoot if he stops working: If Sterling stops playing, first check the batteries, then the switch. If he still doesn't work, the internal mechanism may need professional repair. Do not attempt to open the plush yourself, as this may void any warranty.
