stuffed animal

Soft bedtime companion

A stuffed animal is a soft toy made of fabric and filled with stuffing, usually designed to look like an animal.

Children sleep with them, collect them, and form attachments to them.

Adults keep childhood stuffed animals as keepsakes or display them ironically: Her bed was covered in stuffed animals.

Also called a plushie or stuffed toy.
