Why Plush are Vital in Childhood Development

Why Plush are Vital in Childhood Development

Where there is a young child or baby, there is more than likely a soft plush or stuffed animal not far away. Soft plush provide comfort, companionship, and a sense of security to babies and toddlers. Often, they are one of the first relationships a baby forms outside of their own family members. 

When you think of a plush friend, you often associate it with it being a regular and common toy for babies. But - it is so much more than that. Through plush and stuffed animals, babies and children can learn personalization and relationship skills. Giving it a name, creating a personality for it, learning to care for it, and so much more. 

After bonding and forming a relationship with their plush, children begin incorporating plush into their everyday play. From here, babies and children will start using their imagination, a vital skill in childhood development. They will often mimic actions made by their parents. This begins to pave a way for independence in a baby or toddler.

Tactile play is a vital part of childhood development. Whether it’s learning to grasp onto an object or teaching a child to self soothe, these are all important skills babies need during their developmental years.
