Stuffed animals are more than just toys; they’re confidants, secret-keepers and loyal companions that never judge. Their cute faces always have a smile to brighten anyone’s day, and they’re especially useful for kids who are feeling sad or sick. Their soft bodies and adorable features can soothe a child in the same way that their parents’ arms do.

From plushies in the shape of sushi to adorable dinosaurs and teddy bears, there are many ways to show someone how much you care with a cute stuffed animal. For babies, the best stuffed animals for sleeping are made from a super-soft material that’s gentle on their delicate skin and has little or no seams to irritate them. They’re also small enough to fit in a baby carrier or crib and can be easily carried around and used to calm them down.

For toddlers and older children, cute stuffed animals are great for playing imaginative games. They can be incorporated into role play, such as being a mommy or daddy to their plush animal or taking them on trips in place of their favorite car or doll. These types of activities help build fine motor skills and encourage creative thinking.
