For preserved dead animals, see taxidermy.
A stuffed animal is a toyanimal 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 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.
The first commercial concern to create stuffed toys is apparently the Steiff company that was founded in 1880 in Germany. In colloquial German, stuffed animals are often referred as Steifftiere, which derives from the name of that company.
