Stuffed animals can make great soft toys for children.  An age appropriate stuffed animal can be a great friend for a child.

There are several things to consider when looking for a plush animal that is soft and cuddly.  The first is the material used for stuffing. While “bean bag” animals which are normally stuffed with such materials as plastic pellets can be appealing, these may not be as soft and squeezable as a toy that has polyester filling only, for example.  The other consideration is the outside of the animal. Is it made of fabric, plush faux fur or some other material?  The softest types stuffed toys that I have encountered are a kohair line by Douglas.  These stuffed toys are extremely soft and cuddly on the surface. In fact, it’s almost a habit to keep running your hand over them if you are holding one.

If you are interested in a long haired animal, another option is to get one with faux fur. Some of these toy animals are very soft also. The floppy ones will normally be softer than the posable ones, so keep that in mind when looking for one that is truly soft and cuddly.
