“Boss” and “Lady Boss” are respectively blue and pink dinosaurs who not only love balls but enjoy all kinds of activities. They have put these activities onto their bodies for babies to enjoy: squeaking body and feet, crinkling fins, rattling ball, hand with mirrors, clicking flowers, textured spots on body, waggling tail. And a little baby boss in a pocket to hide.
