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

	carenjacob  +  501014 Tue, 15 Apr 08 01:17 PM   I 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. carenjacob Joined on Tue, Apr 15 2008 New Member 01

	Grammar Geek  +  501048 Tue, 15 Apr 08 02:17 PM And 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." A retail term for them, however, is "plush toys."

(After looking up taxidermy, I realized my question has been answered by Clive.
