Steiff Sissie Schwein

(Steiff $17.99)

This little piglet, sitting on my desktop, is adorable! Done in pink plush with tan hooves and snout, it’s body is floppy and under-stuffed. Sissie will be enjoyed by young preschoolers as a fistful to carry along from home. Since it’s filled with pellets, it will also make a wonderful beanbag for games or just throwing up in the air and catching. A cute little doll that will bring on smiles.

SNAP: Soft and light enough for children to grasp easily. Good for tossing games that will not bend back fingers or hurt if the toy hits.

Ages: all ages
