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!
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.

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.
Yes, Easter Bells are rung in France and Italy throughout the year but they are not rung on the Thursday before good Friday. They are silent as way to remember the death of Jesus. They are then rung on Easter Sunday as way of telling people Jesus is alive again.
Flying Bells
Cloche volant or Flying Bells are another important part of the Easter traditions of France. French Catholics believe that on Good Friday, all the church bells in France fly to the Vatican in Rome, carrying with them the misery and grief of those who mourn Jesus’ crucifixion on that day. These flying bells return on Easter Sunday morning and bring with them lots of chocolate and eggs. In keeping with the tradition, French church bells do not ring from Good Friday to Easter morning.
