Bijoux is a bunny stuffed animal who has taken up ballet, which makes her the rare plush that answers two requests at once. Ask most shops for a bunny and you get a bunny; ask for a ballerina and you get a doll. She is both, so the child who loves long ears and the child who loves dance class turn out to be the same customer.
That crossover is also what keeps her working long after April. She reads as an Easter bunny stuffed animal sitting in a basket, then carries on as a dance-day companion, a car ride passenger, and a bedtime regular once the chocolate is gone. A bunny stuffed animal styled as a ballerina is a small category, so she is genuinely hard to find elsewhere.
She is a soft-bodied plush doll rather than a posed figure, which is exactly what makes her comfortable to sleep on.
How do you wash a stuffed animal? Most plush toys are labeled spot clean only: clean the soiled area with mild soap and cool water and let it air dry. Check the sewn-in care tag before any machine wash, since agitation can clump polyester fill and distort ribbon or tulle trim.
