usually baby-safe, fun to grab, chew, or whip around for playtime, and a nice companion to cuddle for bedtime! and something they may hang on to for years.

To be honest, in elementary school, the thing I took away the most from Harry Potter were these little guys, I’m kind of obsessed with them because they’re just a fluff thing. It kind of super annoys me that they’re a creation of JK Rowling but I think I only like them because I too dreamed up just a little fluffy thing as my pet.
