NWT Plush Noah's Ark with Tiger, Giraffe, Elephant Finger Puppets (SET of 4)

This toy Noah's ark manages to be adorable, soft and safe, and educational at the same time! The ark is soft and plush on the outside, but with some rigidity on the interior side -- not like cardboard, but like a semi-rigid foam backing material. It is extremely light. The 3 animals (a tiger, giraffe, and elephant) are like tiny stuffed animals with the added bonus that they have elastic pouches sewn into their bellies so they can also be used as finger puppets. Each animal fits inside a circular storage hole in the ark; you pop in their lower bodies and their upper bodies stick out. So, the ark functions as a carrying case/storage for the animals. The ark stands on its own on flat surfaces, or can be hung by the loop on its top. The ark measures approximately 10 inches wide x 7 inches high, not including the hanging loop. The animals are approximately 5 inches long each. The manufacturer, Unipak Designs, says this toy was made with all-new, non-allergenic and nontoxic materials. The toys are surface-washable. This toy is NWT, received as a gift and never used. One of the toy's tags says it was produced in 2017, but that must refer to when the design was first introduced. This is a new toy, which was purchased and received in 2023. This toy retails for more than $20 in stores, so it is nicely discounted here.
