A little boy I know turned 2 recently. I wanted to make him a cool boyish toy that he could hide all his treasures in. So I made him stash-pocket steggles – a big plush Stegosaurus with a hidey-hole in his back. I had never made a plush toy for a child over the age of 1 and I wasn’t sure how it would be recieved..But the big open-eyed WOW was more than I could have hoped for.
