Other types of baby toys include ride on toys where the toy has wheels and baby scoots along simulating an animal or car. There are stuffed toys in all shapes and sizes. Bears are the oldest and most common and very much collected by the antique dealers. These bears are stuffed with synthetic fibers in present day manufacturing companies. In the past they were stuff with materials such as sawdust, old pieces of clothing, wood shavings and grasses.
