A stuffed animal describes a toy animal stuffed with straw, beans, and other similar materials. Some stuffed animals are very old - home made cloth dolls stuffed with straw go back to at least the 1830s, perhaps much older.

The first commercial concern to create stuffed toys is apparently the Steiff company that was founded in the 1880 in Germany.

One of the more popular types of stuffed animal is the teddy bear.
