         8 . The system of  claim 7  wherein the plush toy further comprises:
 a second female interlocking button of the one or more female interlocking buttons disposed on a second end of the left leg, wherein the first end of the left leg is distal from the second end of the left leg. 
 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8  wherein the plush toy further comprises:
 a right leg having a first end attached to the torso. 
 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9  wherein the plush toy further comprises:
 a second male interlocking button of the one or more male interlocking buttons disposed on a second end of the right leg, wherein the first end of the right leg is distal from the second end of the right leg. 
 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10  wherein the plush toy further comprises:
 a head attached to the torso. 
 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10  wherein the first male interlocking button is configured to form the interlocked pair with the first female interlocking button or the second female interlocking button. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10  wherein the first female interlocking button is configured to form the interlocked pair with the first male interlocking button or the second male interlocking button. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 10  further comprising:
 a second plush toy having a second outer surface; 
 one or more male interlocking buttons disposed on the second outer surface of the second plush toy; and 
 one or more female interlocking buttons disposed on the second outer surface of the second plush toy; 
 wherein the one or more male interlocking buttons or the one or more female interlocking buttons of the first plush toy form an interlocked pair with the one or more male interlocking buttons or the one or more female interlocking buttons of the second plush toy; 
 wherein the first plush toy is detachably attached to the second plush toy via the interlocked pair. 
 
     
     
         15 . A system comprising:
 a male interlocking button of one or more male interlocking buttons disposed on a first surrounding outer surface of a plush toy; and   a female interlocking button of one or more female interlocking buttons disposed on a second surrounding outer surface of the plush toy;   wherein the male interlocking button and the female interlocking buttons form an interlocked pair when the male interlocking button is detachably attached to the female interlocking button;   wherein detachably attaching the male interlocking buttons to the female interlocking button produces an audible sound; and   wherein the interlocked pair forms a closed loop.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15  wherein the male interlocking button further comprises:
 an outer surface lip; and 
 a center interlocking protrusion. 
 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16  wherein the outer surface lip comprises a plurality of ridges oriented toward the center interlocking protrusion, and wherein the center interlocking protrusion comprises a dome shape. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 16  wherein the female interlocking button further comprises:
 an outer surface corresponding to the outer surface lip of the male interlocking button; and 
 a button cavity configured to receive the center interlocking protrusion. 
 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18  wherein the outer surface of the female interlocking button comprises a plurality of repeating indentations oriented about the button cavity. 
     
     
         20 . A method, comprising:
 attaching a first male interlocking button of one or more male interlocking buttons disposed on an outer surface of a first plush toy to a first female interlocking button of one or more female interlocking buttons disposed on an outer surface of a second plush toy; and   attaching a second male interlocking button of one or more male interlocking buttons disposed on an outer surface of the second plush toy to a second female interlocking button of one or more female interlocking buttons disposed on an outer surface of a third plush toy;   wherein the first male interlocking button and the first female interlocking button form a first interlocked pair;   wherein the second male interlocking button and the second female interlocking button form a second interlocked pair; and   wherein detachably attaching each of the one or more male interlocking buttons to each of the one or more female interlocking buttons produces an audible sound.
