The Evolution Of Plush Toys

These days, children don't want to wake up on Christmas morning to find plush toys under the tree. Stuffed animals, like the beloved teddy bear used to be something that kids loved, even as they grew into teenagers. That's not the case anymore though. Times have changed and even small children are getting used to interactive toys and video games, making the unanimated plush toys seem rather boring.

During last year's holiday season, the Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup was one the biggest selling toys. Parents did whatever they could to find this larger sized, interactive plush toy because they were sure their children would love it. They didn't mind buying this toy because it offers the same wholesome fun and comfort that their own plush toys gave them during their childhood. These plush toys were the same in that manner, but they included the interactive features that today's kids are demanding.

These days, you can even find pet dinosaurs that wander around the house, interacting with people they encounter along the way. Once they're done roaming, they will pick a spot to lie down and take a nap. The technology that's used for these advanced interactive pets is still in its infancy so the battery life on this dinosaur toy is rather short, but it shows promise of what plush toys will look like in another ten years.

The Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup is an ideal addition to a home where parents don't want to deal with a real puppy running around, chewing everything in sight, and using the carpet for a potty. The Fur Real Friends pets are a small sized and make noises and move their heads when children rub their backs. Parents that have children that love dinosaurs can thrill their children with interactive toy dinosaurs.

It's true that kids today do not want to find teddy bears under the Christmas tree. Parents have undoubtedly heard "but it doesn't do anything" one too many times, which is why they are now looking for plush toys that are interactive. Fur Real Friends Biscuit My Lovin Pup and the home-traveling dinosaur are huge improvements over the unanimated toys of the past, but you can guarantee toys will continue to evolve over the years.
