A stuffed toy, stuffie, or plush toy is a toy sewn from cloth, plush, or other textiles, and stuffed with straw, beans, plastic pellets, cotton, synthetic fibers, or other similar materials. Stuffed toys are also known as plush toys (U.S. English) from plush, the outer material used, and soft toys or cuddly toys (British English). They are made in many different forms, often resembling animals, legendary creatures, cartoon characters or inanimate objects.

Some stuffed animals are very old – home made cloth dolls stuffed with straw go back to at least the 1830s, perhaps much older. The most well known type of stuffed toy is likely the teddy bear. They are often used as comfort objects.

Where could I buy a purple rhino stuffed animal with long legs?
Q. Looking for a light purple rhino stuffed animal with a light pink horn and belly, long legs, and long arms. My daughter, who suffers from anxiety, took it everywhere she went. We've lost it and it has caused a lot of tears and worry from this 8 year old. We've tried replacements, but she is worried about the welfare of "buddy". Does anyone know of a website that I could find this animal to purchase? I am willing to offer a reward to anyone who can find this stuffed animal. I really appreciate the suggestions of websites to try. I have been trying the big websites (ebay, amazon, stuffed animal stores) for months. I am an IT specialist and I've been all over the internet looking for this toy. If this stuffed animal exists anywhere it will… [cont.]

A. Since the rhino is lost, and thus you have no idea of the brand or manufacturer... you are probably out of luck finding a replacement. If you have ANY photos of it, it may be possible to find someone willing to make a replica, perhaps a seamstress? Explain the situation., and they may be sympathetic to your needs. Of course it won't be exact, and your daughter will likely figure it out pretty quick... but if she's gullible enough, you may be able to pass off the new Buddy as the old, if you spin a good story about him going on vaction to have have some plastic surgery done...

How can I kick my habit of sleeping with a stuffed animal?
Q. I bought a blue stuffed doggie when I was 16 years old for myself when I was lonely and ever since then I've curled up and fell asleep with it every night...I'm 20 years old now and live with my boyfriend, I'm too old to be sleeping with a stuffed animal. I have plently of other stuffed animals but never needed them to fall asleep, this one is so dear to me. What can I do?

A. I hugged a blanket I got when I was twelve up until, well, this year. I am now 25 years old. Of course, I stopped hugging that blanket when I got re-married and gifted it to my five year old daughter. In my case, I think it's because I feel secure now, where I never did before, not even in my first marriage which was a big learning curve. Anyhow... you'll stop hugging that stuffed puppy when you are ready. There's no point in forcing yourself to "kick the habit" because then you'll just bury the longing deeper into the recesses of your being. And that would suck! I'm sure your man loves you enough that he doesn't even care that you like cuddling that doggie. If it bothers him, then he may have some of his own issues to sort out. … [cont.]

How do you get water out of a stuffed animal squeaker?
Q. I'm currently in China and there are no drying machines near where I live. I hand washed my little cousin's stuffed animal which has a squeaker in it. It has water in it and I've left it out to dry for a few days. There is still water in it. When it is squeezed you can obviously tell there is still water in it. How do I get the remaining water out? Let it sit out in the sun till it is dry???
Asked by Kat - Wed Aug 5 00:27:04 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The water should eventually evaporate.And if you keep squeezing the water should come out.Hey,why not surprise your cousin with a new toy?
