00A stuffed animal is not necessarily a toy. However, the context would normally make clear whether you are speaking of taxidermy or of children.02br

00It's not really confusing if you say 'My five-year-old always sleeps with a stuffed animal in her bed'.05002br

00I agree ' toy stuffed animal' is the correct term that should be used. Because the previous one sounds kind of literal in sense and doesn't really say that is is a child's toy.02td

0And I agree with Clive. It would be immediately clear whether you meant a toy or not. My children have dozens of stuffed animals, and never once have they, I, nor anyone they know felt the need to call them "toy stuffed animals."02br

00A retail term for them, however, is "plush toys."0-

0Just want to make sure I get the other meaning of stuff animals correctly, a stuffed animal can also be a hunting game preserved for collection, right?02br
