Abstract: A glove toy having a simple tubular structure which is closed at each end and which, by virtue of an underside opening 6 gives access to the hand in order to allow the toy to be animated in the way of a glove puppet; while at the same time providing, by virtue of a stuffed rear section 9, a sufficiently solid body toy for a child to cuddle. The front end 12 of the tube is folded back inside the interior to form a head and mouth for animation by the hand.
