How can you not love the silly Old Bear? Winnie the Pooh is such a cute, caring, and loving character. Pooh and I have a few things in common. I love honey! I add honey to everything, including my salads. I also love wearing crop tops.
Okay, but now, on a serious note, I’m a quiet and shy person until I get to know and feel comfortable around you. I’m also always willing to help those close to me. That is why I relate so much to Pooh. It’s like I’m Winnie the Pooh in human form.
Since I was a little girl, I have loved watching Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger are my favorite characters. I love the caring and silliness of Pooh and that Tigger is so full of energy.
I started collecting Winnie the Pooh plushies when I was 14 years old. It became a thing that for each birthday, my Granny would get me a Winnie the Pooh plushie as one of my gifts. It was a little joke between us because her name is Winnie. She would say that now I would always remember who got me the gift.
Today, I’m so excited to be sharing my Best Winnie the Pooh Plush Guide. Over the years of collecting Winnie the Pooh plushies, I have learned exactly what to look for. And now I’m so excited to be sharing it with you guys. Everyone needs a silly bear in their life.

Selection Criteria
I chose the Winnie the Pooh Plushies according to the following criteria:
Quality
Quality is a very important factor for me when it comes to choosing a plushie. And with the Winnie the Pooh plushies, I kept quality in mind. All the Winnie the Pooh plushies I mentioned in this article are of excellent quality. All the plushies’ facial features are embroidered on them. So you don’t have to worry about parts coming loose and turning into a choking hazard for your little one or your dog(if the plushie is lying around).
Softness
The softness of a plushie is another important factor for me when choosing a plushie. I don’t want to feel like I’m hugging a lego or a rock. So I made sure to include Winnie the Pooh plushies in this guide that is soft and cuddlable no matter how small they are.
Size
Size matters when it comes to your Winnie the Pooh plushie. Only some people like tiny plushies, and then some prefer big plushies. I tried to accommodate everyone by including a variety of Winnie the Pooh plushies in this guide. They range from 7 inches to 16 inches. So you are sure to find your perfect Winnie the Pooh plush size.
Functionality/ Practicality
I wanted to include some plushies that are not only plushies but have other functions. In this guide, you will find Winnie the Pooh plushies that can be used as pillows and decorations. There are even plushies that can be used to stimulate the auditory senses of your toddler. Let’s be honest; who doesn’t love a 2-in-1 product?
Price
So the price of a plushie is very important to consider as this will make you take the plushie or leave the plushie. I included Winnie the Pooh plushies in different price ranges. This way, everyone can get this special bear for themselves or their loved ones.
