Don't think I had one favorite. I was into realistic plush dogs (still have many of them) and my DIY dollhouse with horse stables setup.
When I was really young I liked this one plush elephant made of a windbreaker-type material but I later traded it for another toy so I guess I wasn't that attached to it.

I had a great big stuffed dog. Like 3 feet long / 2 feet wide kind of big. His name is Barney. I still have him safely in a box with a few other childhood things my Mom kept for me.

Mine's actually a Monkey that someone designed at Build-A-Bear and dropped off at Salvation Army. My brother got it for me for my 3rd birthday. His name is Jaden The Monkey

Mrs. Beasley doll. 5 years old and I carried Mrs. Beasley EVERYWHERE. Naturally I'd lost her glasses. Then, one fateful day in 1971 my awful cousin Bill flushed her down the toilet. I dont know how he did it! But he did. My dad heard me screaming bloody murder and he and my uncle (Bill's dad) came down and boy, Bill got it from both of them. My dad because of the plumbing issue, my uncle for making the only girl in the family *to that point* cry.

Years later we found out Bill is on the Autism Spectrum. Autism (any mental health matters really) was not explored for the everyday child in the 1970's. I'm glad there have been so many advancements and knowledge discovered since then. He still shouldn't have flushed Mrs. Beasley though.

Wow. As a child, I'm not sure I could have gotten to sleep with one of those in my room . . .

My favorite toy was a big stuffed polar bear I vividly remember picking out from Target at three years old. Her name was Snowflake. My mom threw her away sometime in my teenage years 'cause she was pretty beat up.

I don't remember any stuffed animals I had as a kid that I cared about.
Can I go with Mouse? I still have him but I got him last year

That looks to be an American Toad. I used to have a few as pets, and I kept them for about a year. I didn’t know how to take care of the toads, so I eventually released them back into the wild where they were found. It was fun while it lasted tho.
