- Stuffed and sturdy: The construction ensures plumpness and durability for squishy enjoyment.
Special Notes
- Safety Eyes: For young children, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes.

- Glue Eyes: Even with safety backs, use a dab of glue to secure eyes in place for optimal safety.
- Seaming: Match up front and back pieces carefully to create a perfectly aligned oval.
