My children LOVE their pillow pets. They are soft to play with, sleep on and look great with any room decor. The pillow folds in half underneath and fastens with Velcro to give the appearance of animal legs. The spot that velcros has a material flap that covers up the "itchy" part of the velcro. My only complaint is that there's not enough stuffing in them. If your child uses them often to sleep on, they get flat pretty quickly. We typically pick ours up from B.B. & Beyond as you can use their coupon to bring the price down further. Appropriate for kids age 2-7/8.
