I am sure that there were various times during your childhood that you thought the world had fallen down around you - this is a feeling that all of us have experienced. It could have been something simple like falling out with a friend - something that at a young age always feels like the end of the world, even if it is forgotten about 24 hours later - or it could have been something more serious than that.

And the quickest way that our parents found to end our woes? More often than not they warmly handed us our much loved cuddly toy. Indeed, our favorite soft toy went through a lot of childhood experiences with us. They are as much of a part as growing as training wheels on a bike and your first day at school.

The undoubted familiarity and comforting capabilities of a soft toy mean that they will always stay in your mind and heart long after the day that you were told you were too ancient to have one anymore. Their presence to a child is positive and reassuring, and anything that makes a child feel better is of fantastic value, even though to others the object in question is worthless.

While dolls or action figures may be somewhat more lifelike, the teddy bear, or any other soft toy, feels more personal and friendly to any child. It is no coincidence that the only toy that can really be hugged is also a child’s favorite toy. Hugging brings reassurance, and soft toys in that way have the same quality as a comfort blanket. In fact, it is the amount of hugging and loving that causes nearly all soft toys to look so threadbare and worn out come the end of childhood.

Another reason for the popularity of the soft toy is that it is a 24 hour toy; what other toy gets taken to bed with a child? Having a favorite toy to cuddle and talk to as we wait for sleep to come along is something that, as a child, we all value.

There can be no doubt about the fact that children like stuffed animals in all their forms. They have a classic appeal and it be would surely be a mean parent who felt that their child didn’t need one. Every child needs one, because every child has tough lessons to learn - lessons that are made that small bit simpler by having a reassuring and loving presence beside them throughout.
