stuffed animals

Soft huggable creatures

Stuffed animals are soft toys made of fabric and filled with cotton, foam, or similar material, typically shaped like animals.

Children sleep with them, collect them, display them.

The term covers both mass-produced toys and handmade plush creatures.

Carnival games award oversized stuffed animals as prizes.

Adults may keep childhood stuffed animals for sentimental reasons: She still has the stuffed animal her grandmother gave her.
