Stuffed Animals and Toys

Stuffed animals are a classic gift for a child. Why? Because they encourage nurturing, they are dependable, they are always smiling, and they give hugs. Oh, yeah and their parents just simply throw them in the washer to clean them up. Children often cling to an item from their childhood as their comfort object, also known as a transitional object, and this object is usually either a teddy bear or another cuddly object a child decides to bond with, which can be a blanket or another plush toy. This is why a teddy bear or stuffed animal is a good gift idea for a child, especially young children, ages 0-5 years. Studies have shown that softness is key to the stuffed animals that children create an attachment to, so below you will find an assortment of soft, plush toys for kids.
