Ears are wired to stay upright, which is not something I would do if giving it to a child. A couple of people have asked about the wiring, so here’s how I did it:

I used fairly sturdy wire. Not sure what gauge, but It just fits within the 1mm marks on a ruler. After she was fully assembled and stuffed, I cut maybe a 2 foot length of wire and bent it in half. Then, starting at the lower part of the back of her head, I poked the bent end up through her head, then up into her ear all the way to the tip. Then I cut the ends of the wire that were poking out the back of her head and stuffed them back inside her head so they can’t be seen or felt.
