I have a hobo clown that two of my DGD never liked. Their two year old sister pats it's head and kisses it. It doesn't bother her at all. She would pick it up and play with it, if I would let her. I let her play with a baby doll that had porcelain hands and several of the fingers broke off sooo easily. The arms and legs of the clown are so floppy that they would be broken in no time.
