Stuffed animals come in a broad range of shapes and sizes. Some of us have seen the giant, 8-foot Teddy Bears at sale during Christmas time or the tiny frogs and kittens that fit on key-chains and charm bracelets. The Teddy Bear, named after President Theodor Roosevelt, is probably the most famous stuffed animal, but the concept is at least a century older than him. In recent years a number of stuffed animal (AKA plushie, plush toy, soft toy) crazes have hit the American toy market: In malls across the country you can find workshops to make your own stuffed animals, online shoppers were bidding thousands of dollars on bean-filled toys, and one furry plush toy that giggled when you tickled it inspired competition (even violence) on an unimagined scale.
