This stuffed toy has fascinated our kids for years. I have never understood the appeal, but all three of our kids have at least one they have collected over the years. If you want a stuffed animal sure to please, uncover a Stuffed Snake pet.

These stuffed pets measure over three feet long. They bend easily, much like the real animal. Lots of different brands offer these lovable creatures, and most come with beaded eyes, though you can find some stitched eye options for kids younger than three to avoid choking hazards. They sport all sorts of color combinations, from camouflage to bright shades not found in nature. Some even come with reversible sequins.

My kids cannot get enough of these lengthy companions.

They can be found in many museum gift shops around the country, and make great souvenirs. Next time you head out to your local favorite, see if you can spot some in their store. Feeling extra crafty? You can knit one yourself for an even more unique treat for your child.

We adopted our first snake more than seven years ago before our eldest son started elementary school. Now, all three kids have one of their own. None of our kids love snakes, but they all adore these stuffed animals. These make excellent gifts for friends and family alike, and pair especially well with the My Pet Rattlesnake book for a themed present.

These stuffed animals can pop up anywhere.

If you want feet of stuffed fun for your little one, adopt your own stuffed snake.
