One of the must have toys a child can receive is a stuffed plush toy animal.Many people think of Teddy Bears when it comes to stuffed toys, but there are so many different kinds of other animals as well. They can be a wonderful teaching tool for your child, as you can find all kinds of pictures and information about any animal.

Of course there is the favorite classic Teddy, but there are also many other different bears to choose from. You have black bears, and brown bears, as well as the popular white polar bear. These come in sizes up to fifty inches in some cases.

You can choose from many other stuffed toys from all parts of the world. You can find lions, as well as tigers, and these are available in larger sizes. Other stuffed animals are available, including Giraffes, Elephants, and even Gorillas are not uncommon. Some are extra large and cuddly. You can find endangered species available, Emperor Penguins, chimpanzees, wolves, and lemurs, to name a few. While most are not extremely large, some are available in big sizes. 

Buying large plush animals that are endangered can be a great way to teach children that you care about our planet’s creatures. Many of these animals are now in very low numbers in the real world, and are close to extinction. Unfortunately, there are still people who poach these majestic animals, and as long as people are buying things like ivory tusks, and think that chimps or Koala Bears may make a good pet, there are going to be people who take them from their homes and families.

There are other large plush toys to choose, some you wouldn’t normally think of. There are large frogs. There are horses as well, including the classic painted horse, that we recognize being ridden by Native Americans in the Old West. You can also find your pet dogs in a plush animal as well.

With all the sizes and varieties to choose from, there many tips to help narrow your search down to a more manageable level. The first thing you need to keep in mind is the age of the person you are gifting to. Large plush animals are an excellent idea, but you need to choose carefully for very young child for safety reasons.
