Yawnies were produced by Hornby Hobbies Limited in 1987. They were a short lived series of plush animals which could be made to yawn when used like a puppet. They had a hole at the backs of their heads for you to put your fingers in to animate them.

There were six animals in the series which came in three sizes (approx. 8", 14" & 18"). The largest size is the hardest to find.

Below are images of the six different characters in various sizes. The design didn't change from one size to the next, so I have only included one image of each animal.
