This organic stuffed animal is made of 100% soy fiber and kapok.

With the green movement, some of the larger stuffed animal manufacturers have started to offer organic stuffed animals.  Aurora World Inc., for example, launched a new line of organic stuffed animals last year under the trademarked term “Aurora Naturally” that features stuffed animals made from 100% soy fiber with 100% kapok, and is an ecologically sound alternative to traditional materials. Kapok is a golden silky fiber known for its hypoallergenic softness and  is a sustainable rainforest crop that comes from the seed of the kapok tree.  If your child has severe allergies, always be sure to check the type of material used for the animal, including the stuffing, since not all organic stuffed animals are hypoallergenic as well.

An example of this organic stuffed animal is this panda.  These are slightly heavier than many of the stuffed animals that use, for example, polyester stuffing, but are not overly heavy.
