During the Victorian era, there was a craze for imitation stuffed animals, which had swept through all of Europe and North America. This craze surprisingly seemed to happen in the middle of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Mothers often sewed stuffed animals for their children to comfort them.

Stuffed toys are not just for humans, they are also quite popular as pet toys. Cats and dogs love playing with stuffed toys. Stuffed toys can simulate a real animal for your dog or cat. Stuffed toys also reinforce their hunting instinct as dogs and cats often will chews and bite the stuffed toy to satisfy their predatory instincts.
