What was your most favorite stuffed toy as a child? Mine was an orange poodle with black ears and tail, his name was Mr. Ed. He was given to me by a family friend as a going away gift and I loved Mr. Ed for many many years, I don't even remember whatever happened to him. My sister's was a houndog named "Houndog", how original huh? She loved him more than she did me!

When I was little my favorite stuffed animal was a brown monkey with long arms. I still like stuffed animals. Just the other day I bought two mice hugging each other and they are so cute!

Interesting -- Mine was also a dog, gray with a red tongue, black nose, floppy ears, and two eyes that had to be replaced several times (me being a typical destructive American boy)
When I was an adolescent I found a deer skull in the forest. I don't think I slept with it but it did fascinate me for a time.
One of those claw-capture games a few years ago had a Hagrid doll the I really wanted, but it was stuck in the corner of the game. I really wanted that one doll, but I could never ge it ...

I had a huge brown dog. It was ratty looking, but I had it forever and loved it. I cried into it, and laughed with it. When I was sick it was always with me. It vanished when I left the state leaving it with a best friend. It actually broke my heart not to have it anymore. +++ as always on your posts. Thanks sugar.

I wanted an elephant very badly, for almost a whole year. Mom got me one with green stamps. Actually it was more like an elephant head on a teddy bear body, but it pleased me. I was really sure that Santa could bring me a real one.

My favorite when i was a little kid would be any kind of monkey. Or of course my Winnie the Pooh. Now that i am older i love stuffed wild cats like white tiger, etc.

My favorite was a kangaroo. My brother brought it home as a carnival prize when I was 4 years old. I named it Skippy after a real roo in a television series. It had a baby kangaroo in its pouch that was a hand puppet. I still have the kangaroo but the baby puppet was lost years ago. It has been through both of my kids playing with it. I hope it holds up to some grandkids loving the stuffin out of it.

I don't remember having a favorite stuffed animal, although my mother told me I had a stuffed dog that I carried around everywhere. But I do remember having a blanket that I called "My Fluffy" that I adored. I still have it now but its packed away in a box.

My favorite is a Shirt Tale ('80's cartoon) named Smile. It was written on shirt and he was a beaver. I was given to me by first school based assistant. He still lives in my closet; he lived in my college closet. I can't part with him (maybe I'll give him to my kid if I am ever fortunate enough to have one). He deserves a life beyond closets, being loved by a small person again!

My favourite stuffed toy as a child was a cat. It was large & ginger. I loved it & I still have it.
My daughter, age 14 years, loves her stuffed animals too.
he has at least 100 stuffed animals. Her favourites would be cats & dogs.

My favorite stuffed animal was a white kitty cat that my mom made. When I look at old photos- I’m carrying this thing with me everywhere- It even rode on my Pink Huffy with me- My pink huffy was my favorite thing as a child.. I loved to ride bikes. I don’t remember the kitties name or what happened to it either. Isn’t that odd—My mom said I had it for years- I can remember it when looking at photos of it... but really nothing more than that!

I had a stuffed black poodle as a child. It had a red ribbon around it's neck. I don't remember it's name. I still have it. It's a little worse for wear.

Mine is a nice size bear (i think its around 30incs long)
I remember being in the store with my mom and wanting it really bad. She got me it for Christmas.
I still have it and it sits on my bed as it has every day since i've had it pretty much. I love it and i'll never get rid of him!

I had a big red dog. It was given to me because I loved Clifford so much. I was about 6 years old. It was as big as I was. I still have it and I give it to my daughter. She also loves Clifford as much as I did when i was a child.
