Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a stuffed toy, and more particularly to a changing stuffed toy that can experience a morphological change in the ontogeny or growth process of an organism.

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, there have been stuffed animals that can turn a frog into a frog or a frog. This is a stuffed frog and a tadpole sewn separately made by sewing elastic material such as felt, and they are connected to each other at the mouth.The stuffed toy of the tadpole is replaced with the stuffed frog. Frogs were foldable inside, and stuffed frogs were folded inside a tadpole stuffed animal to make a tadpole.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 The conventional stuffed toy as described above changes only between the tadpole and the frog. The change is simple and easy to make, and the target age is limited to a relatively young age. The purpose of the present invention is a stuffed toy that can more specifically experience the morphological changes in the development process of various types of animals and plants, has a high educational effect, is diverse, and enriches children's emotions. Is to provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The stuffed toy of the present invention has three or more stuffed animals made of a flexible material connected to each other. Each stuffed animal can have a cavity formed therein, and each cavity can accommodate other stuffed animals. The stuffed animal has an outer shape imitating the form of an organism, and includes a stuffed animal whose outer shape imitates an adult, a larva, and an egg of the organism, respectively. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the first stuffed animal, the second stuffed animal and the third stuffed animal are connected to each other. The first stuffed animal resembles the body (parent) of an organism. The second stuffed animal has an outer shape imitating a larva (child) of the organism. The third stuffed animal has an outer shape imitating the egg (egg) of the organism. The individual cavities of the first, second and third stuffed animals are adapted to accommodate other stuffed animals.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the stuffed toy according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view of a frog change stuffed animal of an embodiment of the present invention. A frog (parent) plush 1, a tadpole (child) plush 2 and a frog egg plush 3 are connected to each other at their mouths. The individual plush material is a flexible material, for example felt or other fabric or a soft synthetic plastic material such as rubber or vinyl. It is also possible to use soft and durable Japanese paper. In the case of felt or cloth, the members that become the back, stomach, limbs, etc. are cut out in an appropriate shape, and these are made into a frog or tadpole shape by sewing. For other materials, an adhesive may be used, or a plastic material may be formed by injection molding into a mold. Also, to make them more friendly, the eyes 7, 8 can be made of another material such as beads or buttons, or the mouth, nose or skin patterns 9, 10 can be drawn on the surface. Each of the frog 1, the tadpole 2 and the egg 3 is in the form of a bag having openings 4, 5, 6 which are openings, and when opened, a cavity is formed inside, and externally through the openings 4, 5, 6 And the cavity are connected. Because the stuffed toy is a flexible material, it can be folded small and can be folded and pushed into the cavity of another stuffed animal through its mouth. As a method of connecting the frog 1, the tadpole 2 and the egg 3, a part of each of the mouths 4, 5, and 6 is sewn together. Alternatively, separately prepare a piece of felt of a connecting member (not shown) and sew it together at each of the mouths of the frog 1, the tadpole 2 and the egg 3 or a part of the other part. Can also be combined. FIG. 2A is a sectional view showing a state in which the tadpole 2 and the egg 3 are stored inside the frog 1. In this case, the innermost egg 3 is stored inside the tadpole 2, and the tadpole 2 is further stored inside the frog 1. In order to make the structure easy to understand, the stored eggs 3 and tadpoles 2 are drawn in the same shape, but are actually folded small. FIG. 2B is a sectional view showing a state in which the tadpole 2 and the frog 1 are stored inside the egg 3. In this case, the innermost frog 1 is housed inside the tadpole 2, and the tadpole 2 is housed inside the egg 3. Of course, although not shown, the egg 3 and the frog 1 can be stored inside the tadpole 2. 2A and 2B, the stuffed animals are stored in a nested structure. However, as shown in FIG. 2C, the tadpole 2 and the frog 1 must be stored together inside the egg 3 only. Can also. In addition, the frog 1 and the egg 3 can be stored together inside the tadpole 2, and the tadpole 2 and the egg 3 can be stored together inside the frog 1. Next, an example of how to play the embodiment of the stuffed toy will be described with reference to FIG. Before starting, the state shown in FIG. 2B or 2C is prepared as a preparation stage. The appearance at that time is the state of the egg 3 as shown in FIG. A mother or teacher shows the child the egg 3 shown in Fig. 3 (A) and asks the child, "What is this egg?" While watching the child's reaction, remove the tadpole 2 from the mouth 6 of the egg 3 and stretch it. ((B) in Fig. 3) Then, the egg 3 is stored inside the tadpole 2 to make the state shown in (C) in Fig. 3. So, ask the child, "What will a tadpole become if it grows up?" While answering the child's reaction, take out the frog 1 from the mouth 5 of the ladder 2 as shown in FIG. 3 (D), stretch the frog 1 and store the ladder 2 therein. Change to the state of (E) in 3. Then, play with the child, saying, "Here you are, a frog." Of course, taking the egg 3 out of the state of the frog and showing it to the child by repeating the same process, or letting the child go through the above-mentioned process and seeing the process of frog development, It helps children understand that the cycle of life, which is their love, is circulating. In this example, the combination of the three types of stuffed animals: eggs, tadpoles, and frogs. However, the growth process of the tadpoles, which is the larval stage, is further subdivided into two types: It may be composed of a total of four types of stuffed animals according to the form. In addition, depending on how the creature is generated, an opening may be provided in the back or the belly other than the mouths 4, 5, 6 so that the stuffed animal can be put in and out of the opening. Since the present invention is a stuffed animal whose outer shape imitates adult organisms, larvae, and eggs, it can also be used as educational materials for school organisms. In such a case, a stuffed animal with a more precise appearance is created, and each stage of the individual development of the organism is represented by a combination of a plurality of stuffed animals. May be. As another embodiment of the present invention, when beetles are used instead of frogs, stuffed animals such as beetle eggs, larvae, and adult beetles may be combined. As yet another embodiment, a combination of dragonfly eggs, yago, and adult dragonfly may be used. The same is true for butterflies. The target is not limited to animals, but can be plants. For example, you can combine flower seeds, cotyledons, and stuffed flowers. Although the present invention has been described in detail only with respect to the specific examples described, it is apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs that modifications and changes can be made within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such modifications and changes should belong to the attached utility model registration claims.

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, the morphology of each stage of the creature's development process is represented by three or more stuffed animals and combined, and each stuffed animal is configured so that other stuffed animals can be stored. Morphological changes in the developmental processes of various types of animals and plants, such as creatures, can be more specifically interesting and experienced, have a high educational effect, are diverse, and enrich the emotions and knowledge of children and students We can provide stuffed toys.
