Abstract
A stuffed toy designed to simulate a composite real-world object having a number of constituent parts. Each part is formed as a separate element of cloth enclosing a resilient stuffing material. At least one of the elements has a plurality of loops affixed thereto and other elements include integral portions for selective insertion through the loops, thereby releasably attaching the elements in such relationship as to form the composite object. Only soft materials are used. The elements are so constructed that small children can assemble and disassemble the objects, and preferred objects are those occurring in nature such as trees, flowers, birds, and the like.
Claims4
A modular, three dimensional toy kit having only relatively soft members for selective assembly and disassembly by small children, said kit comprising:
- a. a base member of cloth covering filled with resilient stuffing material and shaped to represent a first portion of a real-world object:
- b. a plurality of secondary members of cloth covering filled with resilient stuffing material and shaped to represent second portions of said real-world object;
- and
- c. means for attaching said secondary members to said base member, said means consisting solely of a plurality of loops of cloth material attached to selected points to said base member and integral portions of said secondary members, each said integral portion forming a simulated part of said real-world object, the relative sizes of said loops and said integral portions being such that said secondary members are secured to said base member by insertion of said integral portions through said loops.
