In stressful situations, such as doctor visits or the first nights away from home, a familiar stuffed animal can provide essential emotional support for the child.

They Help Kids Develop Manners and Social Skills Stuffed animals are a child's first best friend. Most children never let go of their plushies while they perform daily activities, such as brushing their teeth and throwing waste in the dustbin. Kids also love to imitate adults in everything they do.

Provide Comfort and Security Babies and toddlers especially need security, and a stuffed animal is a wonderful and simple way to achieve this. Young ones can squeeze their soft toy to release stress and relieve anxiety. Stroking their toy animal's fur can also calm children and reassure them that everything is alright.

Cuddling or having their stuffed animals nearby can ease their fears during doctor's appointments, their first day of daycare, bedtime, or other uncomfortable situations. A small stuffed animal also lets kids easily take them around to feel safe and calm. And they can even provide a much-needed confidence boost.

Children often identify with their stuffed animals and attribute emotions and feelings to them. By interacting with their stuffed animal, children learn to express their own emotions and understand those of others. Stuffed animals can also serve as a tool to develop empathy and compassion towards others.

Though there is no robust scientific literature on the effect of stuffed animals on adult sleep, several studies have shown that plush companions can help adults self-soothe. A 2016 study observed that holding a stuffed animal during group therapy allowed college students to better comfort themselves.

Cuddling with a stuffed animal can invoke a sense of nostalgia, whether memories of our parents and siblings or snuggling and safety, which can provide continuity and support to our present selves. Furthermore, feelings of nostalgia typically make us happier.

They're cute, thoughtful, soft, and provide comfort. Gifting a stuffed animal is a wonderful way to show someone you care.
