A plush toy having a face with features such as eyes, nose mouth and ears. The plush toy has a first bendable member above the eyes on the face and a second bendable member on the upper edge, lower edge, or both of the mouth. The bendable members are elongated and are covered with a cushioning material such as rubber, plastic or cloth, and are secured along their length to the face of the toy, for example, within a channel formed of cloth or other material.

Slow rise foam accessories including a hair tie or fashion accessory, containing a soft foam material to add a squishy tactile feel. The hair tie or fashion accessory can be used for both holding hair up in a pony tail or bun, or worn on a user's wrist or ankle. It's an easily transportable sensory object that is soft and squishy for anxiety relief and tactile enjoyment. Embodiments of the invention may include customized slow rising, water resistant foam materials or polystyrene beads, which may be coated for easy insertion, and optionally scented. Additional embodiments include health, wellness or medical accessories including comfort blankets and eye masks are also described.

Aspects of the present disclosure are related to a flexible shell structure. The flexible shell structure includes a plurality of rigid support strips that collectively define a three-dimensional shape of at least one part of a character form. The flexible shell structure further includes at least one coupling member configured to couple two or more rigid support strips of the plurality of rigid support strips. The at least one coupling member enables the flexible shell structure to flex when a first force is applied to the flexible shell structure in a first direction, and enables the flexible shell structure to resist flexing when a second force is applied to the flexible shell structure in a second direction.

A curling effect is provided via system, which may be included in an article, via a plurality of links, including distal, proximal, and intermediary links, that each comprise: a base; first and second wings, connected to opposite sides of the base that each first and second through-holes aligned at a first height; and a header, connected between the wings that defines a third through-hole at the first height and a fourth through-hole at a second height different from the first height that is configured at accept a stringer there-through so that a force applied on the stringer in a direction from the distal link towards the proximal link causes rotation of neighboring links relative to one another joined via a linking axel disposed on a shared axis through the first, second, and third through-holes of the neighboring links.

A plush toy includes a rigid body and a plurality of expandable, articulable and positionable tubes each extending from a proximal tube end to a distal tube end. Each proximal tube end is attached to the rigid body. At least two rigid hollow bases are each filled with weighting material. Each rigid base is attached a respective distal tube end of one of the plurality of tubes. A fabric covering surrounds the entirety of the rigid body, the plurality of tubes and the at least two rigid hollow bases. A compressible packing material is disposed inside of the fabric covering and outside of the rigid body, the plurality of tubes and/or the at least two rigid hollow bases. The fabric covering resembles an animal. At least one of the plurality of tubes represents an arm, a leg, a neck, a tail or a horn of the animal.

A container candy or game components is provided. The container has an elastic exoskeleton in the shape of an animal or object. A stretchable opening formed in the sidewall of the exoskeleton allows positioning of a housing holding the candy or game components within an interior chamber of the elastic exoskeleton in a biased contact with the exterior of the housing which holds two portions of the housing engaged while positioned within the interior chamber.

A three-dimensional transformable toy having a body with a first surface and a second surface and having a hollow cavity formed therein. A flexible fill material is positioned between the first and second surfaces. The toy also has expandable/contractable member positioned between the first and second surfaces and which surrounds an opening leading to the hollow cavity. The expandable/contractable member permits the opening to expand in size and contract in size as the body switches between the first and second configurations. The expandable/contractable member further creates a relatively flat bottom surface which allows the toy to stand upright in both the first and second configurations.
