Kids love animals because to me, such as cats and dogs, are very interesting and fun to play with. I would also guess that another reason they like animals are because they are so loveable. Some animals like fish or turtles or even lizards and snakes, these animals aren’t very appealing although some parents allow their kids to have fish. Personally I don’t know why…. But best guess is because fish are the least messy pets you could have. Lizards and snakes to me are cool in a way but look very scary and by watching their scaly, dry, shedding skin well, that’s just disgusting. It really gives me the chills, so take my advice and DON’T get a reptile as a pet. Although if you are interested get a stuffed alligator….. he will not bite!
The love a child has for an animal is also very good. On the safe side of course. If you notice dogs once they have been with someone for a while, they tend to be very protective around them which is a very good thing. Children and adults get attacked; the dog comes and saves the day. Terrific! Super dog! They can start off simple - a plush dog! Any kind, Yellow Lab, Chihuahua, Golden Retriver - whatever they want! And DON’T forget if you buy them a Plush Dog, no midnught walks :)! I forgot to mention, kids want to be loved, cared for, and love playing and goofing around. If you are a parent who works seven days a week and is really busy on weekends and you usually drop your kid to a babysitter, then having a pet is good. Someone to play with and they are protected, also keeps them company. Absolutely no loneliness there. They don’t have to love animals for the company or the fun; they can be kids who just find them appealing to be around and enjoy their colors and ways they move. Slither, swim, waddle, walk, slip, slide, crawl and so many others. Pets are fun……I should know.

I have a little 4 year old daughter and a 6 year old son that love to interact with toys. They was just introduced to the the Calico Critters Cottontail Rabbit Family. The entire family is a fuzzy Critter and wears a tiny little cloth outfit. Not only are the figures sturdy and appear to be well-made, but the clothes the characters are wearing are cute and a good quality. Each cute creature is poseable, playful, dressable and completely collectible! We have so many tech toys to entertain our children they can’t entertain themselves (or their parents). Calico Criters are a soothing reminder the world can be a simple place for children. The entire line comes with so many different families; Hawthorne Hamster Family, Norwood Mouse Family, Fisher Cat Family, Lambrook Sheep Family, Dalmatian Dog Family, Marmalade Bear Family, even Fox and Monkey Families! The Calico critters live in Cloverleaf Manor and they are sweet and innocent. It is a relief to see toys without violent characteristics. The creator of Calico Critters has a story behind each family. The Cottontail Rabbit Family is down-to-earth and hardworking. They take great pride in their family and the skilled work of Father, Aaron’s furniture making.
