Poem

Peanut the elephant walks on tip-toes
Quietly sneaking wherever she goes
She’ll sneak up on you and a hug
You will get
Peanut is a friend you won’t soon forget!

Collectors note

Peanut the Royal Blue Elephant Beanie Baby was introduced on 3rd June 1995.

The Royal Blue version was quickly retired on 2nd October 1995 due to a change in direction in the colour of the elephant. Ty Warner made the decision that a lighter blue fabric would be more appealing to children. Peanut was later released in a light blue colour on 1st October 1995.

The Royal Blue Peanut is one of the most valuable Beanie Babies in existence, fetching high prices when sold.

A Beanie Buddy version of the Royal Blue Peanut was introduced in 1998, and a McDonald’s Teenie Beanie in 2000.
