Do you still have a stuffed toy?

[Archae]

And how old is it?

This guy photographed a number of stuffed toys that range in age from 6 or 9, to 50 or more.

I currently have two stuffed "Spyro the Dragons."

[grahamhgreen]

1. Apparently, in the White House, lol

[trof]

16. ouch

[Suich]

2. I've had a stuffed bear since the Seattle World's Fair 1962.

A really cute guy won him for me!

[tblue]

3. Yes. He'll be 1 year old on Christmas.

I love to squeeze him although sometimes I forget.

4. No, but our spoiled little Shih-tzu

has two or three boxes of them. She's just like a little kid -- drags them all out into the middle of the floor and then doesn't put them away.

(My husband is the guilty party here. No dog in the world needs this many toys.)


ed. And lest anyone accuse me of being "anti-dog," I'm just kidding here. Of COURSE she needs this many toys. She's a princess.

[Myrina]

27. Mine too ...

I love Goodwill for that reason. No point in paying $8 for one toy at PetSmart when you can buy a dozen at GW for the same price.
Pop the eyeballs off & any beanbags out, sew 'em up & send 'em through the wash to make sure there's no cooties and viola!
New dog toys!!

28. Yuuko's very favorite toy

is a Sobe bottle with pennies in it. She'd chase it around all day if we'd let her, but I can only take a few minutes at a time of that racket.

5. I have a large Sully Monsters Inc. stuffed toy.

I bought after the first movie at the Disney store. Sits outside my bedroom.

6. I have three, all from childhood

A Teddy bear, much worn. Store bought.
A bear and (heaven forbid) an elephant made by my grandmother from scraps of crushed velvet left over from casket linings. She worked for a casket company. I don't know their exact age, but all are approaching seventy.

There are a couple of much newer toys sitting around, but they don't have the history that the ones above do.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. I have a Velveteen Rabbit that dates back to about 1950.

He's pretty beat-up and grubby looking but I just can't part with him. I also have a Raggedy Ann of about the same vintage.

8. Rufus

He's a stuffed dog that my ex won at the State Fair for me about 12 years ago.

9. I've got a whole bunch -

a couple from my childhood and more as an adult. I've got a number of stuffed rats, a ferret, a hippo, a camel, hedgehogs, dinosaurs, crabs, seahorses and other animals that I've bought over the years. A few years ago in Harrods my husband and I bought a small Stieff stuffed rat that we call our investment rat. From my childhood I've got 2 teddy bears, another stuffed bear, a stuffed plush snake and a green kitty cat named Gideon. My daughter has a whole bunch too and sleeps with most of them. The life sized Siberian Husky is a particular favorite as is a small pillow from her crib days named Pillowy. We had a crisis last night when I said good night to her because she couldn't find Pillowy. I forgot to ask my husband this morning if she had found it.

10. I have a bear that I got as a baby present

My grandparents have no recollection of giving it to me, but I still have it 33 years later.

The thing is very beat up looking, but that was my childhood lovey.

11. I threw away my daughter's first teddy bear by accident.

Bad mother award.

[hibbing]

12. Yes

Hi,
Yeah, I have a stuffed dog that I have had since I was a kid, so it is uh....several decades old.

Peace

[RebelOne]

13. I have a life-sized stuffed Rottweiler toy.

My daughter bought it for me when I owned Rotties, who are both in doggy heaven now.

I also have a Furby that I bought for myself when they were popular.

[cyberswede]

14. I have my first one that I got from Santa in 1966

He's a baby-blue puppy, aptly named "Puppy."

He was very fluffy with felt eyelashes and a bell in his tail. Now he is completely threadbare, eyelashes missing, and his tail has been re-sewn so many time there's nothing left to sew to, so the bell is held on with a safety pin.

I will love him till I die.

[KamaAina]

15. You'll appreciate this: it's a stuffed calico cat

given to me almost 20 years ago by a fellow cat lover who had a calico (and three others!) She even let Merri rub up against it for authenticity!

[trof]

17. I have a Peewee Herman doll. Wonder if it's worth anything to a collector?

A friend of my daughter gave it to her for a birthday present in high school.
That was shortly after Peewee was arrested for whacking off in a porn movie theater.
He had a weird sense of humor.
Well...both the friend and Peewee.

[mrmpa]

18. I have none, but my 83 year old mother............

has 3. All polar bears. One I bought her about 6 years ago, one she found on her own and last Mother's Day, I gifted her with a donation toward saving the Arctic Region, part of the donation was a plush polar bear puppet (I'm counting him/her as a stuffed animal).

Mom has empathy toward the polar bear & she thinks that the females are excellent mothers.

[MadrasT]

19. Lots of them - the oldest two are from the 1940's

They were my mother's before they were mine.

[jmowreader]

20. I have a crow

The nickname for electronic warfare operators is "Old Crows." No one knows why.

So I have a crow.

[Solly Mack]

21. I have lots. My oldest one is 22 years old.

[nolabear]

22. Yes. My granddaddy gave me Bear when I was three weeks old.

Obviously it began a lifelong love affair.

[DebJ]

23. Two boxes full. One is my ex-husband's teddy bear that he had as an infant in the 1950s.

The others were those I bought for my now-adult children; mostly polar and teddy bears.
I never had a teddy bear as a child so I over-compensated with my children. They didn't
want them when they left home,and I couldn't bear to part with them.

[sarge43]

24. Yup. Still have Teddo.

He has to be 66.

[B Calm]

25. I have a stuffed red, white, and blue donkey with stars.

It's at least ten years old!

[Myrina]

26. I still have a Teddy Bear my bestie got me when we were 14 ...

33 years ago ... he reminded me of my first crush - a high school hockey player named Bobby.

So we put a baseball cap with the hockey team's logo on his head & a playoff towel around his neck & named him Bobby Bear.
