WHY IS SOFT TOYS SO IMPORTANT?
Voted the most endearing toy and appreciated by children for decades, the cuddly toy is a must for early childhood. You most certainly had a cuddly toy to which you were particularly attached! Generally, we don't forget our love comforter.
Your child's favorite soft toy will accompany him through all the stages of his life before entering adolescence. True emotional support, it will be present in the most pleasant moments of your child, to play in the playground, at home, with friends, to fall asleep peacefully. It will also be the first thing he will hug him in the less pleasant moments, to go to the doctor or the dentist for example, or when your child is afraid of the dark or wakes up from a nightmare.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DOUDOU'S NAME:
A child's cuddly toy is the closest friend he can have! It is important to take this into account to reassure your little one. An unforgettable cuddly toy has a special name. The perfect cuddly toy has an image of softness and comfort. You have to find a name that reflects him so that your child is totally comfortable with him.
Today's favorite comforter may not be the favorite comforter of a lifetime. Children can change their minds quickly when they are not convinced of the comforter in question. This is why the choice of the name of the comforter is crucial! This one will help your child project himself with his favorite cuddly toy. It should be easy to pronounce and simple to remember. Generally rather short, names that are too long become diminutives. Might as well go to the diminutive from the start.
We have understood that the choice of cuddly names were decisive in the child-cuddly relationship. That's why we offer you a list of 250 names for Doudou , original, cute and easy to remember! The cuddly names are categorized but don't worry, they can be adapted to each plush!

I HESITATE BETWEEN SEVERAL DOUDOU NAMES, HOW CAN I DO IT?
The choice of the name of the doudou must be made in family with the child to whom the doudou belongs. He will thus work on his creativity and his thinking in a playful and pleasant way! It's a particularly pleasant early learning game to share, moreover, it will give more value to the baby comforter's first name ! If you hesitate between several names of comforter , here are some very simple tips:
- The hat game:
Randomly drawing the name from a hat is a fun and spontaneous way to make a decision.
Ask your child to choose their favorite cuddly toy names and list them on small pieces of paper.
Place the selected cuddly toy names in a hat or jar, then ask your child to choose 3 of them. Place these three names on the ground and then ask him to return one at random. This will necessarily be the perfect name for Doudou !
- The game of chance:
From the list of your child's favorite cuddly toy names , make little notes with the selected names. Then, cut them (in 2 or 3) then put them on the ground face down. Your child must return several of them then, from these bits of names, you must together compose an original name of the cuddly toy!
- Compose the name of the comforter yourself:
You haven't found what you're looking for in our list, or you simply want to find the name of the comforter yourself in a creative and original way. In this case, you can make a game of it. This one is very similar to the game of chance proposed above but will make you work your brains more:
In a hat or a jar, add pieces of paper on which are written syllables such as “Li”, “Co”, “Ta”, “Pi”…etc…
You can also add syllables of your child's favorite things, for example: "Pa", "Te", "Mo", "De", "Ler", "Ca", "Mion", "Li", " Horn "….
Once the syllables are in the hat, ask your child to pick 3,4,5 or 6, then, together, try to compose a name for the cuddly toy and that's it!
How to make the name of doudou more original?
Add a nobility title to Doudou's name ! This will make it more real and original.
Here are the particles that you can add in front of the name of the comforter :
- The Duke
- The Duchess
- Sir
- Madam
- Miss
- Mr.
- Mrs.
- Prince
- Princess
- King
- Queen
- County
- Countess
There are others but these are the most effective in making the name perfect . Here are some examples:
Prince Yoshi, Countess KitKat, Duke Fluffy, Mister Ted, or even Miss Squishy!
The evolution of stuffed animals in history
The first official stuffed animal appeared in Germany in 1880. Thanks to toymaker Margarete Steiff, stuffed animals were brought to market!
In 1902, she was persuaded by her nephew, and employee, to create a teddy bear . The success of its stuffed animals is mainly due to the fact that they are mixed products. The cute and cuddly teddy bear is particularly popular with both girls and boys. A wealthy American, in love with the idea, decided to order more than 3,000 copies from the Steiff company. It was the beginning of an undeniable success!
In France, the teddy bear arrived later. Mr. Pintel added the bear to his toy collection in 1921, to the delight of young and old.
The first version of the teddy bear was stuffed with straw. His evolution allowed him to swap straw for mohair, a woolly fiber that gives the teddy bear a much more pleasant texture. M.Pintel's trademark: a smile or a grimace on each of his stuffed animals. Then was born the elaboration of expressions on the stuffed animals.
The production of bears has developed over the years, giving way to new creations, such as articulated bears or bears with a 'growler' in their mohair stomach.
Then, the shape of the teddy bear changed again to obtain the one we know today. The eyes, formerly made up of buttons, have been replaced by glass eyes, the limbs have been shortened to make room for small fluffy paws and the velvet has been exchanged for rexine, soft, supple and more hygienic fabrics.
Today there is an innumerable variety of teddy bears ! Ranging from a 1.50 m tall bear to miniature versions not reaching 15 cm, with or without clothing and in various and varied colors!
