Abstract
An article, such as a stuffed toy, has one or more folds of material on the surface, adjacent to a feature or features, the folds being movable to alternate positions to vary the appearance of a feature. As an example, for an animal, a fold can be positioned across the head above the eyes. In an up position the eyes are fully exposed, and in a down position, partially obscured. A further fold can be positioned across the head below the nose, in a down position covering the teeth and in an up position exposing the teeth. As an additional feature, deformable members in the ears permit positioning of the ears in different ways.
