Toys in Motion: Plush

Eric Carle's whimsical caterpillar is a childhood favorite, and this cuddly, licensed plush toy is full of surprises: 10 pockets each contain a different fabric food object, securely tethered with an elastic cord ... objects crinkle, squeak, rattle and more! Bright colors, bold patterns and a variety of textures stimulate baby. The caterpillar is great for teaching cause and effect and developing manual dexterity. He’ll begin inching his way into stores in April 2006. It's suitable for ages 6 months and up.

Now kids can make a fashion statement just like Paris Hilton and Reese Witherspoon, and take their favorite animal pals on outings. From Aurora’s newest plush line Fancy Pals, Pet Carriers (8”) are a stylish plush purse and best friend in one. Fully lined Pet Carriers have plenty of room for belongings, handles and a unique dual zipper closure.

Cuddly Wudley was born in the Hawaiian Islands and his purpose is to spread love and aloha. Each Cuddly Wudley is given a Hawaiian name at birth and comes with a license to love. Each license has a different Hawaiian name, address, birth date and license number. There will only be so many made in each name so it will become a collector's item. On the back of the license it's an ID card for children to fill in and keep for themselves. Cuddly Wudley is so cuddly, he is always available for a hug. His only wish is for every person who adopts him, that they pass on the love they feel to everyone they know. You'll be able to recognize a Cuddly Wudley when you see the brightly color Hawaiian fabric in his ears and the Hawaiian print ribbon around his neck. Cuddly Wudley puts a smile on faces.

This 15" giraffe is a cuddly soft armful of velvety plush. He has yellow fur accented with orange stripes, and deep yellow tufts of hair on his head, heck, horns and tail. His feet are weighted with beans so he can sit upright, as is his bottom. He´s a nice addition to any kid´s crib zoo.

Pet this puppy and he gets so excited that he wags his tail and barks with joy. If kids want to be sure that their puppy is healthy, they just have to feel his nose. It´s cold ... as a puppy´s nose should be. Puppies need love, though, so if he´s neglected, he´ll whimper and beg until he´s petted and his soft little belly is rubbed. He doesn´t need food, but he does require 3 "C" batteries and 3 button cell batteries, which are not included.

This dynamic duck waddles from side to side and rattles when pulled along by his string. Press Dudley´s beak and he´ll flap his wings and quack. Dudley also likes to sing three different songs, including his very own version of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm."

This tall animal has long, fat club legs that are filled with squeezable beads at the very bottom. His light brown mane is made of yarn and his big brown eyes look upward in a kind of hopeful pout. His small tail is also made of yarn.
