Plush
Why Plush?
Plush, stuffed animals, or stuffies are items that can be used in role play. They are props for storytelling, imagining, sharing, and loving. They are a source of comfort for a child but can also help a child learn empathy and to be gentle with an animal. Plush can be a pet or a best friend. It can be a guest at a tea party or lend a listening ear as a child reads to it or tells it secrets. A special stuffed animal can help regulate emotions.
