Worldly possession - P for Plushies
This is from Wikipedia:
A stuffed animal is a toy animal stuffed with straw, beans cotton or 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. Stuffed animals are also known as plush toys and soft toys and of course the teddy bear.
Stuffed animals in the past were frequently produced by stuffing the evacuated skins of hunted animals. The phrase is still sometimes used to refer to examples of taxidermy. However, with modern technology it is now possible to produce them with synthetic materials. For this reason, plush toy or plushie may be a more appropriate name for a modern synthetic stuffed animal.
