Abstract: The therapeutic toy includes a main body portion and a plurality of limbs, simulating an animal, such as an octopus. The plurality of limbs are selectively and releasably attached to the main body portion through the use of hook and loop fasteners in order to provide motor skill exercise to the user. Each of the plurality of limbs has unique visual and tactile characteristics, allowing the user to perform specific therapeutic exercises associated with each limb. Further, each limb has a unique fastener, allowing the user to practice and exercise the fastening and unfastening of the specific type of fastener.
