A stuffed animal toy for children that emulates the awakening of the stuffed
animal
upon the user touching one of various locations upon the body of the stuffed animal
thereby activating an appropriate pre-recorded audio message. The stuffed animal
also includes a second head portion such as a Santa Claus-like head portion mounted
within a recess behind the original teddy bear head portion that can be easily
converted manually by a child from a first position representing the original teddy
bear configuration, to a second position, representing a second configuration such
as a Santa Claus head configuration for holiday seasons. Upon the manual exchange
of the head portions of the stuffed animal, a switch is activated which enables
a pre-recorded audio message to play through a speaker located within the stuffed
animal. The audio message played corresponds to the head portion which appears
on the stuffed animal after the exchange. Other reversible features like reversible
hands, paws, or legs can be included as well as a rear flap, which when reversed
and fastened, represents a coat or other garment corresponding to the appearance
of the bear after its transformation.
