Sometimes, people use "teddy" or "teddy bear", even if it is not a bear but stuffed animal is the more general term and what I would use for stuffed toys that are not bears. |

Usually we use �soft toy� for translating peluche. Hope this helps

The peluches as you say in Spanish
Based on the material they�re made of;
in M�xico we call the fur felt or plush toys, so if it�s a rabbit or bear or whatever animal, I would say the animal�s name and the fur: eg. felt bunny, felt cat, felt dog, etc, but also the Oxford Dictionary mentions as a cuddly toy. |

I�m English and we would usually say a cuddly toy. A cuddly toy is anything made of a soft a material and therefore it is cuddly. You could use stuffed animal, we would all know what you meant but it isn�t very english.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I would say "cuddly toy" if it is a "Peluche" in general. If I know the type of "peluche" then it could be a cuddly rabbit, ....
Hope it helps |
