Plush Stuffed Animal Zoo

Plush Zoo Animals

Playtime Zoo Animal Plushies are favorites with children and grown-ups alike.  It's hard to resist animals that have become familiar from trips to the zoo, so I've created a world of these toy animals for my Etsy Zoo, and it's growing. Let's take a walk and check them out.


A Soft Stuffed Giraffe



Hand-Crocheted Toy Giraffe
Jellyroll Giraffe is a cute plush toy.  Handmade in yarn in the Amigurumi style of crochet, he got his name from the fact that his favorite food is a big, squishy jellyroll donut instead of the 'shoots and leaves' most giraffes eat. Of course, being a stuffed animal, he doesn't really eat those donuts, but enjoys watching people eat them and laughs when the jelly oozes out all over their fingers.

Jellyroll is currently living at Coastal Crochet Crafts on Etsy, but would prefer to live in a child's playroom.  He definitely does not want to live outside in the wild like all those giraffes found in jungles who grow from 16 to 20 feet tall, since he's only about 9 inches tall (if you count the horns on top of his head).

Luke the Plush Lion

While walking around my shop zoo, don't be startled by this lion.  His name is Luke and he is a very friendly, soft and cuddly stuffed toy lion created in yarn in a 5” x 5” roly-poly round shape.  Luke hardly ever roars as he likes to do 'quiet' things, like reading
and playing board games.  Luke the plush lion is a darling stuffed animal just the right size for little hands to hold.


Handmade Stuffed Toy Elephant

A Pink Elephant?  Why not.  Plush stuffed toy animals are magical, so they can be any color you want.  This elephant chose pink because it's her favorite color.

This pretty pink pachyderm in plush handmade crochet makes a perfect baby shower gift for a new baby girl or a darling cuddly stuffed animal for any little girl who loves both the color pink and elephants.

Plush pink elephant measures 9 inches tall and about 7 inches wide across her arms and legs. She is handmade in crochet using pink acrylic yarn with a pink and gray ombre yarn used for the pads of the arms and legs and the inside of the ears. Her eyes are embroidered in gray.



These crocheted zoo animals currently live at Coastal Crochet Crafts on Etsy and look forward to moving to a toybox near you.  One or two zoo animals may be temporarily absent from my Etsy Animal Zoo. If so, a simple request or a later visit will produce what has been sold.  I hope you have enjoyed your trip to my plush animal zoo.

    1. Thanks so much, Mouse. I know how much you love the zoo. Since my town doesn't have a zoo, I made my own zoo animals in crochet. :)

  7. You have some really gorgeous animals in your 'zoo', but I have found a favorite (don't let the others know) - Jellyroll Giraffe. He's really cute, plus my hubby used to call our daughter jellyroll when she was little and her favorite toy? A cuddly stuffed giraffe!
