Every child loves soft toys, especially the teddy bears. My mom says that when I was a kid I used to buy one, everytime I used to go out. Now I have a 2 year old daughter and she is equally crazy about them. But I don't have to go to the store everytime. I simply go to http://www.stuffedanimalbox.com , and buy for her. Please check out this site.
