Stuffed Toys

A stuffed toy, stuffie, or plush toy is a toy sewn from cloth, plush, or other textiles, and stuffed with straw, beans, plastic pellets, cotton, synthetic fibers, or other similar materials. Stuffed toys are also known as plush toys, from plush, the outer material used, and soft toys or cuddly toys. They are made in many different forms, often resembling animals, legendary creatures, cartoon characters, jungle animals, tools or inanimate objects.
Some stuffed toys are very old – home made cloth dolls stuffed with straw go back to at least the 1830s, perhaps much older. The most well liked type of stuffed toy is likely the stuffed horse. They are often used as comfort objects.
