Our friends at AOFC love stuffed animals and every child and classroom has them in abundance. Have you ever wondered though about the actual benefits of stuffed animals when is comes to social development?! Stuffed animals help children express and understand their emotions. Children often identify with their stuffed animals and attribute emotions and feelings to them. By interacting with their stuffed animal, children learn to express their own emotions and understand those of others. They can also be used to provide a sense of comfort and security during times of stress as well as a tool to help self soothe and regulate emotions. Stuffies of all shapes, colors, and sizes are welcome at AOFC!
