A stuffed toy is a popular type of toy that is usually filled with some sort of stuffing material, such as cotton or polyester. The most common type of stuffed toy is the TEDDY bear, which is a soft toy in the shape of a bear. The term 'TEDDY' comes from President Theodore Roosevelt, who was famously photographed on a hunting trip with a bear cub. Stuffed toys are often given as gifts to children and can be found in many shapes and sizes.
