1. A toy comprising:
an internal ball structure comprising a highly resilient material capable of bouncing off a surface;
a plush fabric skin having a plush fabric exterior configured to completely cover the internal ball structure such that the plush fabric exterior does not significantly impact or dampen the ability of the internal bouncing ball structure to bounce when impacting a surface;
extremities comprising a pliable fabric sewn on to the plush fabric exterior of the plush fabric skin, wherein the pliable fabric is chosen to prevent causing the toy to carom or ricochet off the extremities;
facial features sewn over the plush fabric exterior of the plush fabric skin, wherein the facial features are configured to prevent dampening of a bounce of the toy; and
wherein the diameter of the internal ball structure allows for the toy to be grippable by a child.
