This is so cute...

Holy moley! That seems like quite a bit for printed stuffed toys.

I was amused by the "Certified Quiet" -- it's a shame that some people seem to think that even the sound of Velcro is Too Much Noise.

I wonder how much wear a toy like this would actually get. I have yet to see a child play quietly with a "quiet book" in Mass (unless you count activities like throwing it on the floor) and I could just see some child sending that wee thurifer flying through the air. Or "playing Mass" in the pews -- at the top of their lungs.

And then as far as playing Mass at home, by the time a child got old enough to do that, would he find these too babyish? It seems to me that part of the fun would be ransacking the house for appropriate vessels and linens. (Hambet has never shown the least interest in playing Mass.)

I was thinking it would be too babyish for kids who are old enough to actually play Mass. It would be more to expose little ones to the idea of Mass. But waayyyy too much money for that.

Funny about throwing the quiet book. I have boys who once they hear the big, echoing "thug" a book makes in Church, that's all they want to hear...over and over again.
