Choosing an Elephant Plush Toy

If you're looking for an adorable baby shower gift, consider an elephant plush toy. They're also good gifts for birthdays, holidays and other occasions. Plush toys are an enduring classic for kids that will never go out of style. Some even become heirlooms that are kept long past the baby and toddler years.

Elephant Plush Toy Styles

At Pottery Barn Kids, there's a wide variety of plush toys that look like elephants. There's the Elephant plush collection, which contains plush elephants in small, medium and large sizes. These plush toys are crafted from soft polyester and filled with plastic pellets and polyester fiber for a cushiony feel. Each elephant in this collection has a satin ribbon tied around its neck for a stylish touch.

Another option is something from the Preppy Elephant collection. The toys in this collection are made from polyester that's yarn-dyed for lasting color. Each furry elephant in the collection has blue ears that contrast against the gray fur. The pieces include a plush elephant with adjustable arms, a blanket with an elephant head and an elephant stroller clip. These plush elephants are hypoallergenic, which is always a good feature when it comes to kids' toys.

You might also want to consider the Monique Lhuillier plush elephant toy. It's made from polyester velvet, so it has a luxurious look and feel. This designer collection also contains a plush lamb and horse. These pieces are an excellent addition to any nursery, especially if it's done in an animal theme. The colors of these plush animals are soft and neutral, so they pair well with any other hues and shades.

If you want to create a coordinated look in the nursery, consider wall art featuring elephants. You could even match a soft gray elephant plush toy to an area rug in the same neutral hue. If you want to go all out with the look, you'll find crib and toddler bedding in colors and prints that coordinate well with an elephant theme.

Other Toy Gifts

In addition to the elephant plush toy selection, Pottery Barn Kids has plenty of other toys that make excellent gifts. There's a wide selection of dolls and dollhouses, so kids can play pretend. You'll also find plush rocking toys, which are a good addition to a nursery or toddler's room. They come in lots of animal varieties, including elephants. Pottery Barn Kids also has toy storage such as toy boxes, chests and bins to keep things neat and organized.
