Abstract: A soft, lightweight toy for a child having an animal-like appearance and feeling warm to the touch of a child. The toy comprises a thin, flexible fabric cover defining a recess. A bladder containing a fluid is removably received in the recess and adapted to lie in contact with inner surfaces of the cover so as to provide a thin layer of the fluid adjacent inner surfaces of the cover. The bladder may be removed and warmed by various means to a desired temperature. Upon insertion into the recess, heat from the bladder is transferred through the cover making the toy warm to the touch. Apart from the thin layer of fluid encapsulated in the bladder under the inner surfaces of the cover, the toy comprises low density materials.
