Manufacturing reference
A rounded fruit character in a blended pile, with the stone appliquéd on the front.
The pile is a space dyed or blended yarn rather than a flat colour, which is a different kind of approval. You have to see how the colours land on a finished body, because they cannot be judged from a swatch. The brown oval on the front is a single applied panel and the pom on top is a separate trimmed part. Two small side flippers and a body with no neck give a wide, stable cavity for a module without moving a seam a child touches.
Choose this reference when you want embedded electronics in a shape that stays simple. Decide where the module sits behind the applied panel, how it is removed before cleaning, and how much variation between lots you will accept in a blended pile.
