If you're looking for a huggable plush pal then the Hug 'Ems Small Cow Stuffed Animal by Wild Republic is a great choice. It says so right in its name! It's not called a lick 'ems, a kick 'ems, or a trick 'ems because those are all things that you shouldn't do with this small stuffed cow. You can if you want to but those really aren't its intended uses. It says what it is for right there in the name! You can lick this plush cow's soft and fuzzy fur if you want to but it is much more enjoyable to give it a nice squeeze. It is possible that you could kick it too, but why on earth would you kick something so cute and cuddly? Again, give it a hug instead. You'll be much happier with the results. As for tricking this small cow, that might be a little more difficult. It has a pretty good eye for spotting a prank although you might be able to slide a card trick by it. A stuffed cow doesn't really understand slight of hand. Mainly because it doesn't have hands. So show it a card trick and then give it a little hug in celebration. It's what it was made for, it says so right there in the name! The entire line of Hug 'Ems stuffed animals by Wild Republic, including the Hug 'Ems Small Cow Stuffed Animal, is made with all new, child safe materials and meets or exceeds all U.S. safety standards. Recommended for ages three and up, surface washing is suggested for this stuffed cow.
