The presence of these items might simply mean that the toy cannot be placed in a washing machine (although buttons and glued-on eyes are generally fine). There might be elements glued on, like clothing. There might be buttons or ‘eyes’ sewn on. The information might also be on the packaging the toy came in, so it might be a good idea to not throw them away the next time you buy a stuffed toy for your child.įor instance, some soft toys come with mechanical parts for movement or a music box for sounds. If not, it might inform you what kind of material and parts the stuff toy contains, and that indicates what washing methods might or might not work for that toy. Sometimes the tag tells you exactly how to wash that particular soft toy. Many soft toys in fact come with a tag that usually contains useful information. Our first discovery was that there was no ‘one-size-fits-all’ method for cleaning stuffed toys, because not all stuffed toys are alike. We hope that the information and advice we obtained would be of help to you too, if your little ones are just as attached to grimy stuffed toys as our girl is.

How does one wash a soft toy? Should we follow my mother’s suggestion of just dropping Pony into the washing machine? But what if Pony was ruined in the process? Janavi would never forgive us. Washing Pony was not an easy matter though. And so, naturally, there was only one option left to us. Naturally, we could not separate Janavi from her precious Pony either. Naturally, we could not let her continue to play with her dirty soft toy. Janavi preferred her dingy looking Pony to the shining new replacement we tried to entice her with. We tried replacing Pony with a new (identical) soft toy, but it did not work. Her attempts to share her meals with Pony had left numerous spots and stains. Janavi plays rough with Pony, sometimes even biting the soft toy. However, Pony has been Janavi’s bedtime companion for quite a while now, and it was beginning to show. Intended by its makers to be a giraffe, my girl had decided it was a ‘pony’, and Pony became its name forever.

When she does feel sleepy, she invariably lets us know of the fact by reaching for her beloved soft toy. Like all two year olds, my daughter Janavi prefers to play rather than sleep.
