Hey, those are really great tips for homemade stuffed animal toys. I'll make sure to try once. However, as I shuttle through two jobs, I rarely get time to do something this creative. So, whenever I need to buy stuffed toys for my son, I always get them from Stuffed Animal Box http://www.stuffedanimalbox.com/. They have a huge collection of adorable stuffed animal toys at quite inexpensive rates. You should definitely visit their website and check out their catalog.

That is adorable! My kids and I were just working on their first little “pillows” this afternoon–I’ll have to show them this for some inspiration! Thanks!

Its not a stuffed toy but try this.How about spending an hour getting your young gardeners (and those young at heart), excited about plants and nature? I thought your young gardeners would enjoy an indoor gardening adventure, growing the TickleMe Plant (Mimosa pudica). Recently featured by the National Gardening Associations Kids Store, http://www.kidsgardeningstore.com/14-1030.html
If you want to give your young gardeners an experience they will never forget, consider having them grow a TickleMe Plant. This is the plant that will close its leaves and lower its branches when you tickle it. They sprout in days and can be grown indoors any time of year. Just Google TickleMe Plants or go to http://www.TickleMePlant.com for seeds and growing kits. This plant has turned many kids into plant and nature lovers. I know, because I grow TickleMe Plants in my classroom. Your children may never look at plants in the same way and neither will you!
Happy Growing
