ABSTRACT:
A stuffed toy animal has an abdominal cavity which is covered by a flap. The flap may be secured in a closed position through the use of a zipper or by VELCRO fasteners. Stuffed fabric internal organs are removably received in the abdominal cavity. These stuffed organs are retained in anatomically correct positions through the use of cooperating VECRO fasteners. VELCRO fasteners are also provided on the exterior surface of the abdominal flap for displaying the various stuffed organs in anatomically correct relative positions for educational purposes. In a second embodiment, the abdominal flap is reversible, having one side imprinted with indicia, designating the anatomically correct locations of the various organs. The flap has one surface which matches the exterior surface of the fabric covering on the remainder of the stuffed toy animal. The other surface of the flap is provided with the organ location indicia and with VELCRO fasteners for cooperation with VELCRO fasteners on each organ. By selectively reversing the abdominal cavity flap, the correct relative locations of the organs may be externally displayed or the abdominal cavity may be concealed to provide an appearance of a conventional stuffed toy animal. An additional hollow cavity in the head of the stuffed toy animal is provided with an audio educational tape playing device.
