stuffed toys

Cuddly fabric friends

Stuffed toys are soft playthings filled with cotton, foam, synthetic fiber, or similar material.

They typically take the form of animals—teddy bears, rabbits, elephants—though any shape is possible.

Children often form strong attachments to them: She still sleeps with her childhood stuffed toys.

Also called stuffed animals, plush toys, or plushies.
