Abstract
Children can love, nurture, and feed their toy puppy and then monitor the appearance of growth. After feeding, the toy puppy can defecate. Educational efforts have been taken to teach children of the interconnection of separate biological and/or chemical processes without the need for employing the same. The toy animal can employ sound effects based upon the biological and/or chemical processes.
