Abstract
A stuffed toy having an animal-shaped body including an illuminatable belly portion. A cavity in the belly portion houses the accessories, electrical circuitry and power source required to provide the illumination source. A dome-shaped member covers the belly cavity and includes an apex aperature. A touch sensor is retained in the apex aperature and is in electrical contact with the power source within the toy belly portion. A timer circuit automatically turns off the illumination source a predetermined time after it has been activated by touching the touch sensor.
