Hello fellow TTers, I need your thoughts and ideas on wiring/posability for a child-safe bear. Well, technically it's a skunk. My cousin has always had the nickname li'l' stinker as a kid, because she was always a mischief maker. My cousin is now having her own li'l' stinker, and I'm making her a skunk for the wee one to be. I want to have it so your able to bend and pose the tail, but still have it safe for a baby/toddler to play with. Any ideas on wiring with children and safety in mind would be most welcome. Thanks much!

Using the bendable hair curlers should work.  They are covered with foam and I use them in my dog tails.[img][/iBlackie_1-26-10_005.jpg

What about using the lock line used for limbs?  They are plastic and bendable.
