Big Eye Dummies Review

My 4 year old loves his "animal friends," aka his stuffed animals. He is always excited at the chance to add another to his herd.

Recently, he received a designer plush toy from Big Eye Dummies. Reggie, a gorilla, arrived with 2 sets of interchangeable eyes and mouths. The eyes and mouth were sewn down when he arrived, so that nothing would get lost. But a simple snip of the threads and we were ready to start mixing and matching.
Little Man's reaction:
My son had a blast mixing up Reggie. As soon as he spotted the second set of eyes and mouth, he announced, "Momma, look! You can switch-a-roo!" For two straight hours he changed Reggie in every way imaginable. He ran from one room to another yelling, "A two eyed (or two mouthed, or three eyed) monster is on the loose!"My thoughts:
Reggie is very well made, very withstanding of the rough play my 4 year old put him through. I love that the eyes and mouth attach by magnets instead of velcro (which attracts every stray cat hair in the house).

The only issue we had was when me 4 year old sweetly asked if "the x's [in his eyes] mean he's dead?" Ugh, only my kid. Luckily, that questioned passed quickly, and he was back to playing.

From Big Eye Dummies:
