Plushies: loyal friends, lucky charms and mementos
They are playmates, familiar companions, loyal friends and mementos: Plushies are definitely more than “just” toys for children. Because plushies can give children a sense of security, give them a bit of safety and accompany them through various stages of development. They symbolise childhood in a way that hardly any other toy does, and accordingly, they quite rightly have a firm place in the hearts – and rooms – of all children.
Why are plushies so important for the development of our children?
How is it that animals made of textiles are among the most popular and best-selling toys of all? Well, it's certainly also due to the educational value of plushies. From an educational perspective, children benefit in many ways from handling soft toys:
Promotion of social skills
Above all, playing with a plushie addresses children's social skills. By taking care of their plushie, kids practice putting themselves in the shoes of others, respecting the needs of others and taking responsibility playfully. When they play with the toys together with their peers, there is also a lot of educational interpersonal interaction and communication.
Promotion of emotional competences
Moreover, stuffed animals promote your child's emotional competencies. In situations that cause insecurity, anger or sadness, cuddly toys help to deal with the emotions in an age-appropriate way and to gradually cope with them more and more independently. And the plushies can also be a valuable support when weaning from parents – a process that every child goes through.
Promoting creativity
There are no limits to creativity and imagination when playing with plushies. Your child can think up scenarios and act them out with the animals. They are not bound to the pillars of reality, so they can try things out completely freely.
Sensory training
Furthermore, cuddly toys are a wonderful toy for sensory training. With them, your child gets to know different haptic, optical and olfactory impressions and trains its perception accordingly.
This is why adults can also benefit from soft toys
Anyone who thinks that stuffed animals are something only children can do something with is very much mistaken. In fact, many adults have extremely positive experiences with stuffed animals and no longer want to do without them in their everyday lives.
Comforter
It may seem a little childish at first, but there is no denying that holding and squeezing stuffed animals is comforting. The softness, warmth, and familiarity that the products convey also have a comforting effect on adults – if they can get involved.
Lucky charm
Plushies for adults are particularly popular as lucky charms. Depending on their size, they can easily be taken everywhere and thus stand by you in critical situations in your life.
Mementos
As already mentioned, cuddly toys are often valuable mementos. Perhaps you still have a cuddly toy from your childhood that you would never throw away. The memories attached to cuddly animals are typically not worth the money.
Warmth
When you press a plushie against you, stroke and hug it, you will feel a sense of closeness and connection. Accordingly, stuffed animals can also help in moments of loneliness.
Sleep aid
Cuddly animals are just made for the job of falling asleep. Their mere presence can make it easier for you to find peace and fall asleep.
Gift
Fabric animals also cut a good figure as gifts. If you know the interests and preferences of the gift recipient, you can select a plush animal that fits perfectly – an original idea!
From what age are plushies suitable?
The variety of cuddly toys available today ensures that children of all ages will find a plush friend to cuddle. For babies, stuffed animals that guide them to sleep with soothing music, cuddle cloths and plush rattles are excellent. Toddlers are happy to have their favourite plushie and are particularly enthusiastic about interactive plushies. For older kids and teenagers, on the other hand, cuddly toys matching their personal favourite film are a good idea. You see: There is something for everyone in the big world of soft toys!
What should you look for when buying stuffed animals?
To find the perfect cuddly toy for you or your child, you should pay attention to the following aspects:
Properties
Make sure you find out about the basic features of your favourite products. This includes the size and weight, but also any additional functions that may be available, such as musical features. If such functions are available, you should obtain information on the required batteries.
Design & material
The stuffed animal of your choice should first be appealing. In addition, you should attach importance to high-quality materials that have been cleanly processed. These aspects influence the longevity of the product.
Cleaning
Not all textile toys are washable. So take a look at the manufacturer's washing and care instructions beforehand.
Pollutant-free
Since the cuddly toys come into contact with your child's skin, they should be free of harmful substances. This way, you can let your child cuddle with his or her little animal with a clear conscience.
Washing and care: How to keep cuddly toys beautiful for a long time
Hygiene is the top priority for toys that are used every day, often worn close to the body or even taken to bed. That's why plushies should be washed regularly. You can find out whether a plushie should be washed in a washing machine or manually from the care label.
Some products cannot be washed at all – neither in the machine nor by hand. This is especially true for products with grain filling or electronic components. These can nevertheless be well cared for. To achieve this, you can carefully remove dust deposits with a hoover and carefully rub off any stains with a little mild soap and a damp cloth.
