What about when it is time for show and tell at your child’s school. They will be happy to bring their plush monkey to show the class and explain why it is their favorite. You can use the opportunity to teach your child more about monkeys and increase their interest in wildlife and the environment, making it a potential teaching aid as well. What a joy it will be to see your child’s eyes light up with excitement.
