What is plush?

Plush refers to a fabric with a particularly soft feel. It can be made of cotton or synthetic fibers. Unlike velvet, the pile of plush is higher and less dense. It is used to make clothing, plush toys and accessories. The first cuddly toys were created in the 19th century by Margarethe Steiff, whose cute plush companions are still popular worldwide today.

What age are plush toys suitable for?

Plush toys are suitable for children aged two and over. With babies, however, you should avoid cuddly toys to ensure a safe sleeping environment, as children of this age are unable to prevent accidental suffocation. Cuddly toys promote object constancy in children and provide security. Even adults are happy about an original lucky charm; for example with your favorite animal or your personal hobby.

What plush toys are there?

In addition to the classic version, plush toys also exist as cute pendants. From the charming Miffy bunny from Holland in white or pink, to cuddly lucky pigs for the key chain as a stylish New Year's gift, to the luxurious corduroy version: there are no limits to your imagination.

What can you make out of plush toys?

You can make a variety of toys out of plush. This not only promotes creativity, but also produces unique cuddly toys, key chains and decorative objects that can be given as gifts to loved ones. Girls especially love the DIY craft dolls from the popular manufacturer Djeco.

Which plush toys are particularly sustainable?

Cuddly toys from the WWF collection are particularly sustainable. By purchasing a chimpanzee, marmot, giraffe, turtle or red fox, you not only have a velvety, soft new roommate, but you also make a valuable contribution to protecting endangered species.
