An interactive soft toy with a light emitting diode device mounted within the
soft toy. The light emitting diode device has a translucent front cover and translucent
sheet to which a graphic pattern is applied. The light emitting diode device is
operative to display a pattern. When the pattern of the light emitting diode panel
is illuminated, the graphic pattern is overshadowed thereby. The on/off status
of the light emitting diode units can be controlled by a manual input device, an
infrared signal, or an audio signal. The light emitting diode device further has
a speaker for generating a sound effect corresponding to the pattern displayed
by the light emitting diode device.
