Plush toys should be all of the above, and they can be. These Boogaloo Buds plush toys are just that and more. They each do something different and they are really fun and are designed to encourage interaction between child and parent.

The cute cow character teaches basic face features in a cartoon-like cow voice. The sheep teaches names of body parts while “Andy Anteater’ is just plain funny making sucking noises. To complement the collection there is “Chelsea Chick,” a unique child operated cuddly nightlight. Batteries are adult accessible and are hidden within an internal Velcro sealed pouch. Built into strategic parts of the Boogaloo Buds are special interactive electronic sensors. This is really a collection because each does different things, but each is sold separately.
