The gains that child can derive from a stuffed animal can be analyzed using the different developmental stages of these children. As babies the kids derive many joys just touching some parts of the body of these toys. The part of the body that is often touched includes the fur. As the baby touches these parts of the toy she is deriving from benefits unconsciously which may remain with him or her for the greater part of his or her life. The toys had to be soft for the babies to use and love them. Babies love soft stuffed toy animals than the hard ones.

Even as the baby matures to a stage he or she can be described as a toddler; the kid would still be in love of the stuffed animal. The knowledge he or she has about them at that stage of life would help in the development of the child. For this to make the envisaged impact on the toddler the parents have to be careful and selective in picking stuffed toy animals for kids. They have to concentrate on selecting those types of stuffed toy animals that would be most useful for the baby. As a toddler the kids must have started attending schools and in schools he or she must have been introduced to different types of animals.  The kid will gain a lot by making use of the stuffed animal that was explained to her in schools. The parents can be of use for the children at this stage of the development. The children could be taught how to feed the stuffed animals so that the child can learn how to be caring as well.

The other stage in the child development when the stuffed animal can make the most affect in his or her life is in preschool stage. The type of play the child can do as he or she matures changes. At this time the kids become more imaginative of certain things that come across his or her way. The child could begin to have active imagination of these stuffed toy animals and he or she can become more emotional attached to the stuffed toy animal. The involvement and attachment of the children to the stuffed animal continue to change as the child continues to mature and grow. The kids will learn so many things about the stuffed toy animals which would be very helpful at his or her adult age.
