ReplyDeleteLove this idea! Can you use any stuffed animal/toy? Do you worry about copy right infringement?
ReplyDeleteHi Phoenix, great question! I would lean toward using a more generic animal that you can make your own, than choosing an established character whose copyright is owned by the creator. I'm not positive it would go against fair use, but it would probably be a good idea to get specific permission from the copyright holder before using a notable character. -Kat
