PostHeaderIcon Stuffed Animals

A stuffed animal is toy animal sewn from cloth, plush, or other textiles, and stuffed with straw, beans, plastic pellets, cotton, synthetic fibers, or other similar materials. Stuffed animals are also known as plush toys (U.S English) from the plush outer material used, and soft toys or cuddly toys (British English). They are made in many different forms, some resembling real animals, some in a caricature with emphasis on different features, some in the form of Legendary creatures or Cartoon characters.

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.

History

Stuffed animals in the past were used for random stuffing of the evacuated skins of hunted animals. The phrase is still sometimes used to refer to examples of taxidermy. However, with modern technology it is now possible to produce them with synthetic materials. For this reason, plush toy or plushie (U.S. English) or soft toy (British English) may be more appropriate names for modern synthetic stuffed animals.

The first commercial concern to create stuffed toys is apparently the Steiff company, founded in 1880 in Giengen an der Brenz, Germany.

Among the most popular types of classic stuffed animals are teddy bears and sock monkeys.

Today

Stuffed animals are bought for a variety of reasons. Some are bought for display in home or a work place. They can also be given as gifts, such as for graduation, Valentine's Day, other special days, or just as an expression of thought.

The picture makes it look like I can really hold a lot of animals, but I found I had to carefully balance them to try to get it to hold more than a few. As soon as my son tries to take one off of it, they all start to fall. If you are putting this some where that a child will not be touching it, then it may suit your purpose.

This product is a life saver. No more stuffed animals all over my daughters room.

my granddaughter really likes the stuffed animal holder, she can get to her stuffed animals without digging thru her closet or storage drawers

Perfect. Holds all the animals that were cluttering the floor. I would recommend this to anyone!

I got exactly what I ordered & I am 110% satisfied! I look forward to ordering more in the future!

The plastic anchors arrived damaged. (well 2 did) Not worth it to send back since shipping would end up costing more than I paid. Wouldnt buy again that's for sure.

Works great! Now all the stuffed animals have a place to stay so my daughter will use HER bed!! Don't put them up too high though... you'll be in there all night getting this one and that one...

I am very happy with my purchase. My 2 toddler girls share a room and have so many stuffed animals, this was a nice way to display them on a wall and get rid of the clutter on the floor. Hold a good amount of small to medium sized stuffed animals.

I would definitely recommend buying at least one of these for each of your children's rooms! They take care of the problem of where to keep the bulky stuffed animals and make a nice display at the same time!

I ordered two pet nets to put in my soon to be baby's room and I got two completely different colors. Organize.com told me about the disclaimer that they could not guarantee colors of the lining but I think it is terrible that you cannot choose. Also, I tried to called the customer service line for help and I couldn't go anywhere since I did not know the exact mailbox number I was looking for. I suggest not ordering from this company if you may have the possibility of returning items for various reasons.

I got this for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved it. Very soft and cute. Highly recommended.

This arrived promptly and in good condition. I bought it for my sister for Christmas, and she adores it.

Snuffie is soft, cuddly and adorable. Great quality too! Just a little smaller than we expected.

Great product! Makes the world of Sesame Street come alive for the little ones!

I bought the toy for my new pup. He's been chewing and tossing it around for over a week now, so far no damage. I know it's meant for a child, but at the time I was thinking of naming him Snuffleupagus.

Miniature Jointed Teddy Bear (Master Miniaturists) [VHS] Miniature Jointed Teddy Bear (Master Miniaturists) [VHS]

Reviews

This video presented a chance to work along with a teddy master artist and become knowledgable about proper construction methods and learn a few secrets to help in making our own bears. For the money, a lot of the footage should have been reshot as many, many times the artist's hands were not even in the same area as the camera which panned here and there to try to find them and closeups that were on target, still had hands covering crucial technique because the camera angle was not correct. I also felt more attention could have been given to garment construction instead of assuming we would automatically all know how to do it. In spite of the everything, the artist's love of her craft, expertise, and pleasant personality were evident and I will attempt a bear in the near future but I am nervous about ordering any other vieos in this same series.

This item is great. I was able to get all of my daughters stuffed animals off the floor. The hanger is velcro so it doesn't hold a lot of weight. We planned to hang this from a corner shelf so it was not a problem. We just attched the closed tab to the shelf with a screw. I used standard shipping through the post office and was surprised at how quickly I received it. I purchased this item on Christmas Eve and had it within a few days, not a week as stated at checkout. Good Job USPS!

I hung this in a corner of my little girls room. It looks cute and holds LOT of her stuff animals. Now they aren't all over her floor.

It's huge! That's what I thought when I lifted it out of the bag. It is great but it did fall a few times. I mean, the Velcro couldn't take much weight. But if you hang it in the closet like you are supposed to on a rod, you will have little to no trouble. Listen kids if you want this big green fun toy thingy, you have to take care of it ok?

Rubber HOT Water Bottle & Plush Ducky Duck Cover Rubber HOT Water Bottle & Plush Ducky Duck Cover

Reviews

Cute. A year ago, we bought the duck and the devil for our 7 year old twin girls. They love them, but one of the bottles now has a worn out gasket and leaks.

Bottle "ONLY" size from neck top: ~11 in by ~ 5 1/2 in wide for those who want measurements ! Item was great. Perfect "child size" - saw past reviews on plush duck about getting it back in and I agree, opening should be wider then perhaps adding velcro to keep the bottle in would be a preferable way too make this work. I would be willing to pay a bit extra for that to be the case. However, my daughter is old enough that she can tell me if its too hot and I don't have to "trick" her into using the bottle, she likes having it when she goes too sleep - so, the duck factor wasn't an issue for us.

Generally, the ducky is alright. The only problem is inserting the water bottle into the duck. There is a tight horizontal slit halfway down the back for that purpose. However once the bottle is full, it is very hard to insert the bottle back into the duck, which only leaves the possibility of filling the bottle while being inserted in the duck. A not very well thought-out contruction. On the other hand the ducky is quite cute and was well received.

Thanks for the great water bottle. I had it sent to my neice for Christmas, but I saw pictures.

This is a really cute furry duckie, but the plastic inside has a really strange smell. I was disappointed in this.

Singing Babies Nursery Rhyme Time Singing Babies Nursery Rhyme Time

Reviews

This video is creepy and almost frightening! I had no idea these would be almost still frames of babies (that look exactly like Zombies) with super-imposed moving mouths pretending to sing a long to the songs. AND, once you barely get past that, the songs ARE mainstream songs, but the kid's voices are horribly out of tune and literally PAINFUL to listen. The video did capture my child's attention, but I'm sure, will also give them nightmares. Plus, it's not good for your kids to listen to other kids sing so badly out of tune.

Parents have to make wise decisions with their limited time and resources. It seems before we look the other way some annoying entertainment feature (Elmo's worlds) or performer (Barney the Dinosaur) has captivated our little one and we have to suffer through it while they sing along, ad infinitum. My nephew was partial to "Hakuna Matata" from the Lion King. It means no worries!!!!! I found this video linked to the outstanding 'My Baby Can Talk' signing video series. My baby and I were so pleased with that I wanted to find something similar to move on to as the series is limited to 3 titles. I saw all the positive reviews here for Singing Babies and, being the spendthrift (or cheapskate, depending on your view), I searched my local library for a copy to preview before buying. Luckily, they had several and I had time to preview while my little one was in day care. First, I think this is probably good fare for babies 18months and under who get a kick out of seeing other babies. The sets and baby models seem geared to that age group. I like the songs, I don't mind the off key singers (that's pretty much how toddlers sing) but I have to admit, these kids 'singing' via that Conan O'Brian mouth video trick is creepy to me. I'm not sure whether to laugh, be troubled or both. The sets (some are just pictures with babies superimposed over them) are cheap and the bad lighting is depressing. There just doesn't seem to be much imagination and warmth in this so much as computer manipulated video trickery and that bothers me the most. I don't want my baby to inadvertently pick up bad taste, no matter how entertaining. As the gatekeeper of what my tot watches I say 'no', but this might appeal to others so I'm not entirely going to knock it. Like I said, this might be just the thing to captivate younger babies and give parents a welcomed breather- just beware the cost (i.e. your little one starts to prefer WWF wrestling to PBS, smoking generic candy cigarettes when you're not looking and staging illegal Clifford the Big Red Dog fights on the day care playground).

Since my son turned two I have been looking for a nursery rhyme DVD we can watch and sing along with. I have purchased one before this and it was awful. I am glad I found the Singing Babies Nursery RHyme time DVD because my son absolutely loves it. He now knows the songs and even though he has difficulty with the lyrics on some he improvises which makes it more fun for us. The husband said that the idea of using adult mouths on the babies is ridiculous and creepy but I don't really mind. As long as my son is happy. The bonus CD was a plus too.

I got this for my daughter when she was 6 month old. Ok, I confess that also got it for myself because I am lyrics challenged and I don't know nursery rhymes. Here's a breakdown of grades that I'd give: Set Design: B- A bit amateurish. The babies are stationery, so the producers are a bit limited, I guess. Animation: C: Some babies' mouths are animated more realistically than others. The overall effect is kind of creepy to adult viewers. For this reason, I don't think this video will have a long viewing life for most purchasers. As parents, you probably want to find something better/less disturbing when your kid is >1.5 because you can't bear to watch more of this. Song Selection and Arrangement: A- Probably not their fault that some nursery rhymes' words are really not age-appropriate, like Three Blind Mice. I did like their rendition of these familiar songs. Not boring. Singing Quality: B- As other reviewers have noted, some "babies" are better singers than others. I certainly didn't expects these "babies" to sing in perfect pitch. What really irritates me is that the producers knowingly set one of the baby's voice consistently off from the rest of the singers for the entire DVD. It's very grating and pointless. Entertainment Factor for My Little One: A Oh, she was entertained alright. She was transfixed. Babies love watching babies. As soon as she can sit well enough, she clapped and even lifted her heel to tap to the songs' beats. She learned her songs. Final Comments: I know that I should probably rate the product from my kid's perspective as this is a product for her. That said, I am giving it a 3 and not a 4 because I would seriously think twice about buying this for a friend's child, not wanting to subject my friend to this slightly weird video. But, if you're looking for something that entertains your kid but not planning to watch it with him/her, this is a fine product.

This video series has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Poor production, bad singing, simply unwatchable. I suspect many of the 5 stars reviews are shills...
