Stuffed Frogs Toys - Webkinz Frogs!

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Why frogs? Well, why not? Also, I am Jewish and it being Passover, frogs are actually a bit of a seasonal theme, so even a better reason for doing frogs today. Stuffed frogs are the best, and no, not as a recipe. It’s not kosher for one thing ;) I’m talking about sweet plush stuffed frogs to play with. Think about it, in nature, a frog’s skin isn’t very appealing to us humans. It’s…. well, slimy. Not the kind of feeling you want on a toy for kids, really. But what if you take that sweet froggy face and body, and turn them into a furry doll?

And when it comes to plush toys, Webkinz make the best gifts for kids, by far. By virtue of providing a long-term interactive experience, thanks to their online presence, this is a gift that’s suitable for older kids, not just babies or toddlers. Every age group can find something fun to do with a webkinz stuffed frog.

There’s quite a selection of them too. If you need gifts for several kids, a webkinz frog can be a wonderful theme, without repeating the exact same toy for every child. They cost around $10 each, so well priced too, I think. Here some of the models you can get - all frogs, all plush, all Webkinz:

webkinz love frog
The Webkinz Love Frog

This is actually the most popular webkinz frog on Amazon.com. Pink and romantic, it’s perfect for little princesses!

Webkinz Tie Dye Frog
Webkinz Tie Dye Frog

This bright yellow and green amphibian is second only to the love frog. It actually looks as active as a kid, doesn’t it? And it has the online personality to match.

WEBKINZ - Bullfrog
WEBKINZ - Bullfrog

This cumbersome looking frog is actually a favorite with young children, and is just as soft and plush as the other Webkinz, and just as fun to play with online.

unique stuffed animal toys

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Growing up, I had a huge collection of plush stuffed animal toys. I just loved arranging them all neatly on my bed. I have to say, in later years, as a teenager, what kept me tidying up my room was me wanting to see my beautiful plush toys all neatly arranged in the proper setting.

I love browsing the shelves of stuffed animal toys today as well. And I thought I would share my findings here, as some of the more unique plush toys make perfect gifts to girls of all ages. All small children, and even babies, love stuffed animal toys, but I think that if you go for something which is unique, plush and pretty, it is likely to be a winner with girls in later years as well. So, here are some ultra cute unique finds. Click on the pictures to get to their page on Amazon for the full specs.

One word, before I start my parade… I realize that Webkinz are the most popular plush stuffed toys around. I actually LOVE Webkinz myself so much, that I’m going to dedicate a whole special post just to them. This post is about unique stuffed animal toys by other makers though, so here goes, these won my heart and I think would make excellent gifts -
