What to Look For
When shopping for cow plushies, look for ones that are made of high-quality materials, such as soft fabrics like cotton and polyester. Also, make sure the stuffing is durable enough to hold its shape over time and that the stitching can endure rigorous play. Finally, pay attention to any safety labels on the toy before purchase — this ensures your child can play safely without any choking hazards from small parts or loose threads. For example, our favorite pick, Squishmallow’s Connor the Cow, features superior stitching and is even machine washable.
