Ty Pluffies Dangles Monkey

just got this in the mail today, a lot sooner than i expected, so i am happy with the free ship.
the product description did not mention the size of the toy, so i took a chance and hoped that it would not be a tiny beanie baby toy.
lucky me, this stuffed animal is about 10" in height, and about 5" across the belly.
this little monkey is super-cute, and super-soft. it's "beanie-filled" on its feet and bottom.
since my little one loves to watch curious george, and fittingly, "mon-kee" is his first word, this toy is perfect!

Grandma purchased this monkey for my daughter on her 1st birthday. It was an instant favorite and she doesn't travel anywhere without it. I love when she has put it down somehwere and can't remember where it is. She'll walk around the house saying "Monkey...where aaaaare yoooouuu???" My daughter likes sucking on the tail so he does get rather nasty and smelly but luckily he washes really well and stays relatively soft. As monkey goes everywhere with us, I thought another one was a necessity. I accidentally got the large version of Dangles and when I pulled him out of the box and handed it to her, she stared at it, picked up the REAL monkey and walked off. (Did mommy think she could pull one over on me?? I think not!) So, since large monkey won't do, I'm buying the REAL monkey...just in case. I gave Dangles 5 stars cause I know how much she loves him and how happy and secure he makes her feel. Definitely worth 5 stars in my book!

Dangles is so soft, squishy and cuddly! We got this for our son when he was just a few months old. It quickly became his favorite snuggle toy. He is 1 year old now and MUST have his monkey to snuggle with in order to go to sleep. Unfortunately he likes to suck on his tail and it can get quite yucky. Fortunatley Dangles washes very well! I put him in the washer in the handwash cycle and then tumble him dry for about 90 minutes on fluff/no heat in the dryer and he is ready to go in time for the next nap! Although he is not as perfectly soft and fluffy as he was when we got him, what do you expect from a toy that can be washed in the washing machine and is constantly dragged around! I rated Dangles as 3 stars for educational value. You might not think a stuffed toy can be educational, but we think he is! When we ask our son where the monkey's eyes, mouth, nose and ears are, he points right to them. He gets his hands and feet mixed up, but he'll figure it out soon! We purchased an extra...Read more
