When it comes to toys for 1-2 year olds, plush toys are not to be missed! Many babies have a soft spot for soft toys, no matter where they go, they must take them with them, even when they sleep at night, they must be held in their arms. Plush toys are so popular for a reason.
It is so soft, so comfortable to hold, and can always be by the side, feel safe, so many babies will use soft toys as empathy. When the mother is not around and the baby feels unhappy or scared, a familiar stuffed animal can play a role in comforting the baby and making him feel at ease.
Although in the eyes of the mother, plush toys are lifeless and have no emotions, but in the eyes of imaginative babies, this is not the case. Babies will imagine the stuffed animal as a living kitten or puppy, or a cute little baby, and play pretend games with them. Sometimes, babies may talk to stuffed animals, feed them, drink water, and put on and undress them and socks.
It is recommended that mothers play with soft toys for their babies. Mom can try to make her own or buy it from a physical store or online. The size of the plush toy should not be too large, so that it is convenient for the baby to cuddle and play. In particular, it should be noted that the eyes, nose or other small parts of the plush toy must be sewn firmly enough, because the baby may pick and play with his hands, and it will not be good if it causes accidental ingestion.
If your baby treats a particular stuffed animal as an empathy, it’s best for mom to buy another identical one and have your baby take turns using them as early as possible. In this way, when the baby uses one of them, the mother can safely wash the other without worrying about the baby crying and searching.
