I am sure that there were various times during your childhood that you thought the world had fallen down around you - this is a feeling that all of us have experienced. It could have been something simple like falling out with a friend - something that at a young age always feels like the end of the world, even if it is forgotten about 24 hours later - or it could have been something more serious than that.
At this time it was commonplace for one of our parents to hand us our most beloved and trusted cuddly toy. Soft toys are as much a part of childhood as training wheels on a bike or mittens tied to coat sleeves. Quite simply, they are something all children remember as they grow older.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the soft toy is something that leaves an imprint for any child, due to its familiarity and comforting capabilities. They may be inanimate and wordless in reality, but for a child their presence is something overwhelmingly positive and reassuring.
Children have plenty of toys to choose from, many of which are more 'cool' than a soft toy, but none of the others available offer much in the way of personality and friendliness. Due to their softness and their floppy arms they are far more huggable than any other toy, and they act in much the same way as a comfort blanket for many children. In fact, look at the most favored childhood toy of anyone now grown up and you are likely to see it a little threadbare due to its use as a comforter.
One of the most wonderful things about a cuddly toy is that it is safe enough for a child to have in bed with them as they try to sleep. Having a favorite toy to cuddle and talk to as we wait for sleep to come along is something that, as a child, we all value.
That they have remained cherished through out the generations, gives little room for argument against soft toys being the number one toy. Something classic about the way they look and feel just makes them ideal for young children, and few among us would fail to admit that we had a faithful cuddly friend as a youngster who got us through some tough times. - 31376
