You will love exploring several new giant stuffed animals on our website, All I Can Imagine. Our collection of plush stuffed animals now includes several new teddy bears and jungle animal toys.

You may have been pondering a purchase of some unique stuffed toys but are concerned about the quality you may find on the Internet.  Often, stuffed toy animals found in your local toy stores and super markets do not have the quality you feel safe giving your children.

When you want to make a larger sized investment in giant stuffed toys shopping online might be a better idea because you can find quality, hand sewn toys without driving all over the city to find a store which sells high-end stuffed teddy bears and other unique animals.

Purr-Fection is a company located in Oregon and has as their number one objection to satisfy, their customers by providing superb quality products at an excellent value.  All of their toy animals are hand sewn and they use only the highest quality materials in production. Their unique designs have been delighting children for many years.

Each of their toy animals have an individual character which is reflected in their expressions, softness and posability.  One especially unique product line is their Bouncy Buddies. These six inch stuffed animals have a hard rubber ball sewn into their tummies and both children and dogs love to play with such characters as a penguin, panda bear and a cute dog. (Toby is my favorite and I had to throw in another picture!)

I regressed for a moment because the focus of this blog post is our new giant stuffed animals that include a ninety inch jumbo brown bear (pictured above).  I also love the 42 inch bright green frog and the light grey elephant.  All these new stuffed animal toys are on sale.

Visit our stuffed jungle animals page to see the frog and elephant – you will love what you see!

Shop early and avoid the Christmas rush and I hope you have a large closet to hide your new toys in!

The past several weeks I have seen some giant stuffed animals in a couple of stores I frequent. I keep remembering that a little girl had taken one and set it on the floor and was sitting inside the legs of this giant bear and leaning back into its arms.  It was a “Kodak Moment” I should have taken advantage of.

Back in the 1830’s plush stuffed animals were first introduced, or so it is said.  People who lived in this era did not have factories that had the variety and quality of stuffing’s that are used nowadays. Stuffed animals in the 1800’s tended to be made at home and with materials such as cloth and straw.

Luckily for our children’s safety new materials became the norm including cotton and various types of synthetic fibers.  Stuffed animals could now be quickly and inexpensively produced.

It may surprise you to learn that stuffed animals actually evolved from stuffing real animals that had been killed.  Hunters are great fans of stuffing the deer, fish and other animals they have hunted and killed.  Many homes have a den where these “trophies” are displayed.

Although popular children’s toys include many different electronic gadgets kids still need many open-ended toys that come with no rules. Besides blocks and puzzles stuffed toys are a staple in any child’s toy arsenal.

Classic plush animals such as Raggedy Anne and Andy, teddy bears and many Disney characters are still quite popular and are considered collector’s items that many people search for on the Internet.  If found in good shape these stuffed animals can demand a great deal of money.  If you have some of these in your attic or basement it is a good idea to make sure they are kept in airtight and water-tight packaging.

Giraffes are fascinating animals.  Owning plush stuffed animals such as our hand-sewn giraffe may be the only way your child can have a giraffe.

Our stuffed toy animals, jungle collection includes a pretty 18” safari toy and it has just arrived back I stock after a long absence.

Did you know the Giraffe is the tallest among all land living animals? The giraffe can be 16 to 18 feet tall and weigh up to 3,000 pounds. Females are generally slightly shorter and weigh less than the males do.

Both sexes have horns, although the horns of a female are smaller. Giraffes have spots covering their entire bodies, except their underbellies, with each giraffe having a unique pattern of spots. They have long, prehensile tongues that are impervious to the thorns of the acacia trees that they feed from and are distinctly blue-black to protect from sunburn.  They have long necks, which they use to browse the leaves of trees.

Giraffe perform a behavior called necking.  Necking duels occur when males fight.  Giraffe use their heads to strike a blow and they also use their necks to show affection toward another giraffe.  Giraffes are normally quiet animals.  They do not have only one distinct sound that they make.  They will, however, cough, whistle, bellow, moo, grunt, snort and hiss. Read more fun facts about this fascinating animal at Kids Konnect.

The Teddy Bear is the most popular plush toy, and it may even be the most popular of all toys. Other toys have been popular in their day — the hula hoop, the yo-yo, Mr. Potato Head – but none have stood the test of time.

Teddy Bears are especially popular during holidays throughout the year. From New Year’s Day in January to Christmas Day in December, teddy bears fill up grocery store check-out counters with their Stars and Stripes for the 4th of July and Jack-o-lantern costumes for Halloween. Some teddy bears have a simple Pilgrim’s hat or Easter bonnet. While others sing festive songs or shout “Ho, Ho, Ho!” Whether they are red for Valentine’s Day or green for St. Patrick’s Day, these plush stuffed animals bring us joy any time of the year!

Do you have some favorite stuffed toys?  Think back, what is the name of the stuffed bears you played with as a child?  Where are your Teddy Bears today?

Classic brown plush stuffed animals have American origins, which have been traced to a cartoon, published in the Washington Star in 1902. Clifford Berryman’s cartoon depicted Theodore Roosevelt (president from 1901 to 1909) sparing the life of a trapped bear cub while on a hunting expedition.

Teddy bears—now a staple of American childhood—can be useful in teaching twentieth-century gender history and material culture studies.

Ladybugs have always fascinated me and I have always gone out of my way to protect them and keep them safe.  But, until I read an article I just found, I never knew that ladybugs also came in yellows, orange, grey, black, even blue.

During the Middle Ages, swarms of pests were destroying crops, so farmers prayed to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, for help.  Soon after, ladybugs came and ate the bad pests and saved the crops.  The farmers called these bugs, “Beetles of Our Lady” and they eventually became known as “ladybugs”.

In many countries, ladybugs are considered to be good luck.  Just like the four-leaf clover and the horseshoe, the ladybug is thought to bring good luck to people.  I am sure that this is because of how the ladybugs are always saving crops from bad pests. So, to the farmers especially, ladybugs, are definitely good luck!

You can read more about this little creature and see a really cute website where I found this information.  You will love the link that tells you how ladybugs can be used to help your kids learn math. Go here: http://www.elysiumgates.com/~mamawolf/facts.html

And for more ladybug fun you must see our ball toys page called Bouncy Buddies. These are stuffed toy animals that have a hard ball sewn into their bellies and can be bounced and thrown around.  His name is Tweedle!  How cute is that?

Visit our website and see our pink pig, Wilber, or Milton – a black and white cow and Taffy, a cat.

Nope, only in the Alsace region, which borders Germany, does the bunny venture into the garden. In the rest of the France it is a winged bell that does the delivery.

Many centuries ago the Catholic authorities ordered that church bells fall silent between the Thursday before Easter and Easter itself. Children are told that that the bells have flown to Rome to see the Pope and gather candy, returning on Sunday morning to drop chocolate chickens, bunnies, and eggs from the sky.

Like many places in the world, eggs are an important part of Easter in France. It is said that eggs are symbolic of the return to plenty after the hardship of Lent. Many families organize an Easter egg hunt in the garden and afterwards the children will roll their eggs down a slope to see whose is the fastest.

Adding an Easter bunny to your child’s Easter basket is a great idea!  See all our plush stuffed animals on our website and order early!
