The term plush is used for a doll, which is soft and usually stuffed. I also created plush puppets.
These puppets came in and out of hats and boxes. With “Apple & Worm”, “Mouse & Cheese”, “Chick & Egg” the hand went into the base to have the Worm puppet play within its Apple, the Mouse puppet play within its Cheese, and the Chick puppet play within its Egg.
The plush toy “Busy Snail” had several activities attached to its body. It could be played on the floor or in a crib (as well as fastened to the crib).
Plush toy “Funny Looking Animal” allowed a child to play with tossing rings and balls at the stuffed character.
Velcro was attached to the toy, which permitted the balls to stick to the surface.
