 Kösen Plush: All Creatures Great & Small Luxury Shopping: A quality toy is one that will last and be loved by a child throughout their entire lifetime. For nearly a century, German toy manufacturer Kösen has been producing soft toys of exceptional quality from a small town on the Saale River. Today, Kösen plush animals are purchased for and loved by children -- and adults who are children at heart -- throughout the world.
Arguably, there is no better gift for an animal or wildlife enthusiast than a Kösen plush animal. Kösen designers conduct up-close studies of each animal, observing them in their natural habitats or in zoos and making careful sketches of each creature's anatomy and movements. From these drawings, three-dimensional clay models are crafted, and from these models the toy animals are made. Particular attention is given to the animal's face, which has a lifelike, neutral expression so that, according to Kösen, "children can 'make them feel' whatever they want." All Kosen plushes are cuddly soft and movable, so that they can hold up under a child's love and play.
Browsing Kösen's web store is like strolling through a zoo. In addition to such "traditional" animals as bears and domestic pets, shoppers can select from aquatic life, farm animals, forest animals, birds and ducks, primates, rodents, weasels and more; there is even a line of plush insects! The whimsical Fairy Tale collection is the only line that deviates from the "natural world" theme, with plush animals dressed as pirates, musketeers, and other fun fantasy characters.
All Kösen toys meet the European EN 71 safety norm and can be washed at 30 degrees Celsius/86 degrees Fahrenheit.
