Technically you can (as long as you do the same for the resistors and capacitors) but unless you're really comfortable with surface mount soldering, it's probably not going to end well.
You're better off just getting some single-LED packages with all of the passives already included, like these: https://www.amazon.com/BTF-LIGHTING-WS2812B-Heatsink-10mm3mm-WS2811/dp/B01DC0J0WS or these: https://www.adafruit.com/product/1260
LEDs will be much cheaper and more controllable for the same amount of light output, as well as being quite a bit more power efficient, which will help with battery life.
I doubt weight would be a problem, but getting good subsurface scattering will be. If you want the stuffed animal to glow evenly rather than having glowing dots where each LED is, you will need a way to disperse and scatter the light from the LEDs so it looks more like this:

And less like this:

Great! So I will go with those or equivalent, I can handle power and wiring etc. on my own. Now, let's talk microcontrolers if I wanted them to be able to be switched on and off, and between modes, from a LAN/Internet device and/or direct connection (pref USB), what is my best bet? An Arduino+WiFi shield, Pi w/ USB wifi adapter I already have, or a trinket/feather/(insert microcontroller here)?
Edit: Heres another strand, since I want 30/meter instead of 60.

Thank you so much for the response. If I have a scenario like below:
​
In the above scenario, if the motor's current demand exceeds 10A, would it damage the motor or the driver, or would the motor simply not have the needed power to do its work and all electronics will be safe? Thanks again.
So like a Tile Mate? I mean projects are fun and all, but if the hats really mean something to her, I would just buy a few of these. Probably cheaper than anything you could build yourself anyways.
You need connectors like this or you could get a bunch.
Do you think something like B156HW03 will work?
Could I get 3 of these: https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Driver-interface-PCA9685-arduino-Raspberry/dp/B01D9VNXEQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1521743412&sr=1-3&keywords=16+channel+pwm
Also any suggestions on which Arduino to get, I see there is the Mega and Leonardo.
