Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for a soft toy blanket holder. A soft toy apparatus includes a hollow body that defines a storage cavity. The hollow body includes a soft material and an opening through which the storage cavity is accessible. The soft toy apparatus also includes an appendage movably coupled to the hollow body. The appendage and hollow body form a toy figure. The appendage is movable relative to the hollow body between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position the appendage covers and conceals the opening and in the open position at least a portion of the appendage is spaced away from the opening.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for a convertible blanket, pad, and pillow. The apparatus includes a blanket having arm apertures, and a sleeve coupled to each of the apertures. The apparatus also includes a pad having a durable surface, a plush surface, and a fastener disposed on a perimeter of the pad to form the pad into a container to hold the blanket. The apparatus may also include a fastener disposed on the blanket to removably connect the blanket to the pad. The system includes the apparatus, cushioning disposed between the durable surface and the plush surface, and carrying straps extending from the perimeter of the pad. The method includes providing the apparatus, forming either a plush or a durable container by selecting the durable or plush surface to form the outside of the container, fastening the fastener, and placing the blanket inside the container.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for a pillow that converts into a highly-developed, three-dimensional toy figure that, in certain embodiments, has a life-like shape. The apparatus includes a pillow or a hollow body with one or more clasping mechanisms. When engaged, the clasping mechanisms shape the apparatus into the soft, toy figure. When disengaged, the clasping mechanisms allow the apparatus to serve as a pillow with a soft, comfortable, relatively-flat surface for sleeping. Certain embodiments of the apparatus include an internal cavity that houses an extractable blanket to provide additional bedding.
