What do you think these guys do on my couch? Why this gathering now, all of them well dressed, colourful, happy and posing for us?
The answer is quite simple. We can deduce it very easily, looking at the community where I publish this and knowing that it is the first day of the month.... and that normally a new topic comes on these dates for the current month.
So, what do they do?
Yes, they make a collection of themselves and invite us to share our collections of stuffed animals too. They are the protagonist of this initiative for the month of May - soft toy collections!
I can't participate in this initiative after I press the publish button, I mean they are already presented in the first photo... although I am going to say a few words about almost each of them so maybe it counts as my entry for the topic! 😉
But, first of all, I would like to say a thank you to everyone who has shared any of their collections in the past month. We have been able to see two entries to the initiative of bottle caps, so a big thank you goes to @multifacetas and @nanixxx for their contributions. Also, thank you for all the other collections that arrived on the community feed, @avdesing with earrings, @abrunet with Cuban music, Pictures of Spain and Vintage photo cameras. @edje shared with us the peculiar life of his mugs, @mamani brought some drinks for the party... well, just the empty bottles 😁, but we also could see a few collections of drawings by @lismarcarolina2, postal stamps from @jocieprosza, disappearing art in sand from @mdrguez, or a collection of pens coming from the pen of @mairene1.
A lovely pot collection came from @bluemoon, but we also saw classic cars that @palomap3 brought to us, ties from @nbarrios67 and cards! Yes, cards, though different ones. Pokemon cards - by @incublus and pretty faces from a Korean series, which is a treasure that @ruffatotmeee collected. And more music, coming from our little Hive owl, @elbuhito!! 🎶
It was an interesting month, you see the variety of collections! 😃
Hello, May! Hello, Hivers!
The new month is here with this new colourful topic. A very soft one. I should not say soft toys as I was told that Elmo, one of the guys sitting on my couch would be offended by that classification. He is waving now to all of us and to his family from Sesame Street!
But anyway, the topic was on my mind for some time, since I saw a few soft toys in this post. I promised @mamani in my comment on that post that it would be a theme for one of the months. It arrived today :))
Many of my own soft toys are not with me anymore. Just Elmo, and two other stuffed animals. One white seal with her baby and a huge rabbit, Maxi.
This seal mom and her baby were a gift from my aunt who travelled a lot; she brought this little family from Austria.
From the same aunt, I got so many gifts (maracas from Cuba, a wall decoration from Thailand, a large beach scarf from Kenya) and this huge rabbit too. He has a zip on his back, so you can stuff him with things you want - pyjamas, socks or even hide money. 😱 {the latter is just a joke}
The rest of the collection is in the ownership of my son. This cute puppy has been his favourite one since he was a baby. Its name is Maurice (like Maurice Ravel) as I was practising for months one piece by that composer when my son was a baby and this soft toy was already with him, listening to me. That is why we named it Maurice.
He travelled with us to all the places we went.
Maurice is a puppy so he also has a dog family. The grey is his mom and the brown is his dad. The other two are probably his siblings but don't ask why all of them are different. 😂
There is also a collection of Teddy bears. All have similar fur however two of them have T-shirts and one even has a coat with a hood. It is not clear why the others didn't want to dress for this little photo session. Perhaps they are just fine with their natural look.
The next section is dedicated to not-so-usual soft toys (not bears or dogs). Two frogs are sitting in the company of two elephants, but the weird thing is that the frogs are big and the elephants are so small. Maybe they are coming from an upside-down world. 😁
This part of the collection consists of all different species, so we see here a fish, a rabbit with his carrot, a lion, a camel and a... so what is that little guy with the hat? You probably already recognize him from a cartoon, but if not, here comes the answer: he is a platypus!
Ok, no animals here but two aeroplanes, both were bought in flights we did many years ago with the airlines you see in the photo. The purple one (Wizz Air) "talked" when you pressed it, but something went wrong and the plane didn't want to stop talking haha. In the end, we took that piece out. Now it is just a soft toy.
As the last piece in this soft toys collection, I hold the hand of this clown. I kinda want to make peace with him, because as a little girl, I was afraid of clowns. No more fears, no more tears - clowns are also welcome in this collection.
There is one stuffed animal that appears in the group photo, but I don't present it separately. Can you spot which one?
Dear collectors, as you see this is the topic in our little community for May. If you liked the theme maybe you could show us your soft toy collection. It is not strictly just for stuffed animals, as maybe you have a collection of dolls or figurines that could match the topic...? I am sure that you can find your way, in case you would like to participate. 😇
A white fluffy thing with blue eyes... mmmm 😋
Siiiii.
It's a white kitty, washed in the washing machine once, so his fur became a bit jumbled 😂
meow ...
But let me ask you something... did you wash Yin in the washing machine? As he somehow has his fur like this white soft toy 😆
😁 hahaha... la risa no me deja pensar.
Ay, pero para responder esto no hay que pensar. Lo pusiste a la lavadora o no? 🤷♀
Yo creo que sí... quizás por eso se ha roto la lavadora el año pasado 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Gracias. No sabes cuánto te agradezco que me hagas reír así porque me acabo de enterar de que mañana me pusieron a trabajar con esa señora (... 🤐) Pero voy a seguir riendo, si total...
@mipiano you honor me when you say that my tiny stuffed animals were your inspiration for this month of May. I am already committed to participate.
Your collection is fantastic. Thank you for sharing it with us.🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Mamani, and am glad to hear that you will participate! Looking forwards to seeing you soft toys collection 😇
A tender delivery @mipiano. More than soft toys, it seems to take us into a world of Travesía Mágica when reading it, where the variety of cute animals and multicolored characters will give inspiration for this month's initiative.
Thanks to those mentioned, and to all those who add their content and collections to this beautiful community.
I indeed hope these little stuffed animals will be an inspiration for the community. They tried to behave well and present themselves nicely 😉
Thank you 😇
How cute these furry stuffed animals 😍 I think someone will be jealous (Buhito) hahaha for the first time I have to participate, so very soon I will be sharing Buhito's companions, with whom he is not good friends, but Buhito does not get along with almost anyone 🤣
Elmo is very cute 🤗
Hahaha, Buhito's companions can come, but hey, don't forget to include Buhito as well, so he will maybe not be very jealous 😇
ok,ok, I already see a bit of drama in the post lol 🤣
I'll see what I can do this month, Oli's soft toy collections moved on to other homes! 🤭
Well, creativity will do its things hahaha, I have no doubts 😁
Hi @mpiano, it was a pleasure to participate in April. About your stuffed animals, all are cute and preserved, the one you didn't include was the white bear, I think. I will be participating in this challenge soon.
Yes, the one I didn't include was the white fluffy cat ;) I am glad to hear that the you can participate with this topic in May. Have a lovely day 👋
Could it be this cuddly toy?
Well... I'll tell you... I don't have any right now, but I had a lot of them in Argentina, which I donated to a children's hospital when I came to Spain. If I find the pictures ... is it worth the same?
Yes, exactly that one. Posted it as a photo in the replay to Nanixxx, if you want to see it better A white cat! ;)
As a memory, why not? 😇
It's beautiful !!!! I love cats, didn't you know? haha🤣
Got it! Thank you very much!😃
No, I didn't, how could I know that? {lol 🤣}
Don't put your cats in the washing machine, please haha
No!!! They are scared of it, they know there is water in it! hahahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A nice and cute collection ☺️... Do fluffy cushions count 😜
And the missing one is that sitting under (the world's best mom) teddy bear.
Hahaha, cushions 😂
I am afraid they don't count as toys 😋
The answer - yes, it is that white one sitting under the best mom bear! 👏
Lol, was kidding.
Will try to show some. From my childhood
I know 😉
Cool, looking forward to seeing them
I tried to gather some to take some photos; we have quite a few laying around the house. My dog gave me the eyes. And a bit of the teeth as well. Message sent, I'd say... his property now.
So, now your dog has a collection and not you 😂
May you ask him in May to let you take photos of them? 😁
He said he may consider treats for one or two photos.
😍
The large collection of stuffed animals is impressive!! I only keep a couple of bears, the one that accompanied me as a child (like Maurice to you) and another that my first boyfriend gave me. 😇 Both are at my parents' house, when I go I'll take a picture of them so you can meet them.
This collection is so cute. 🥰
Oh, then I am looking forward to your visit to your parents and the stuffed animals that live there soon 😇
Gracias 🤗
What sweet toys these are. It's like heaven for a child, haha. It's sad that I can't participate in this this month, unfortunately I had very few toys as a child and now I have none. The only thing I have is my wonderful Pokemon, Charmander, which is not really a toy, more like a companion 😂
A heaven for a child 😂 Hahaha, maybe indeed. My son mentioned one soft toy that (according to him) he had to give to someone as I said he should do it. So it seems that the collection is missing some toys.
Your Charmander is indeed more like a companion an already Hive personality haha :D
What a wonderful collection! I only have one soft toy from my childhood...it was an exchange with children from Germany when I was about 11 years old...!!
That one must be a special then - unique in every sense of the word 😉
My favorite soft toy that I watch are the little white seal and his baby and Perry the platypus! I loved those cartoons! I also like the long-legged frog!
Let's see, like many I have a little girl inside and with this post I see that she is very close to the surface 😆.
I don't have too many soft toys but I'm definitely going to participate in the initiative this May, which is also my birthday month. 😁
Yay, the inner little girls are woken up 😜
It is not the quantity but the story that a collection can transmit to us 😇
So, I am waiting for your participation (I hope neither the soft toys smoke cigars 😂)
There are many beautiful memories in there with that motley crew of characters!
(especially gangsta platypus...)
But the Seal Mum is just soooo adorable...Can you believe that Canadians club baby seals to death every year in the thousands with the support of their government...
Bit I do love how the wise old rabbit is looking over them all, keeping is eye on them all to make sure that they're safe!
A gorgeous collection (I won't say 'soft' just incase someone else in there reads this and gets offended...🤣..)
Gangsta platypus 😂
The wise rabbit has that look, I also spotted it and yeah, let's say just stuffed animals so Elmo still waves to us 😉
I was just going to lament about how I don't have any soft toys to snuggle into, but I actually do!
3 to be precise.
Though one is not very snuggly, just very funny.
And I do actually snuggle into one every night in bed.
I will take photos of them tomorrow as I think that you would love them too!

If I’m not mistaken, I’m sure I’d have checked at least ten of your collections in April. I love this new rabbit toy too. It looks really beautiful
All your collections are lovely
I love this community. Unfortunately I did not participate with the musical instruments because I only had a wooden flute and it is broken; and with the lids, well I have saved none. But, I think I keep some stuffed animals there from when my son (nephew) was a child and others from the person who lived with me until recently. I will be presenting them soon.
By the way, your stuffed animals are very cute and preserved.
That is nice to hear :)
I know that there are topics that are not easy to participate in, but I hope that stuffed animals can be doable 😇
The first You show us remind me a toon serie from My Childhood: Mupped Baby!. The most popular of their characters was the frog Rene but the most i liked was the one named Animal 🙄
Yes, the red one, Elmo is actually a furry Muppet monster, who lived in Sesame Street :)))
The frog from Muppet Show was the star haha, I remember. In English, he is Kermit the Frog (in Hispanoamérica sí que es René 🐸)
Oh, qué lindos tus peluches! Me dió mucha risa la familia de perros que ninguno se parece jajaja y los elefantes que son más pequeños que las ranas 🤭🤭🤭. Está súper la propuesta de este mes, tengo algunos peluches así que ya estaré por aquí presentándolos jejeje 🧸😃
Hahaha, sí, un mundo al revés, los elefantes más pequeños que las ranas 😂
Me alegro que te gusta la propuesta y que vendrá la colección de tus peluches. Me pregunto si habrá gatos entre los peluches? :D
Jajaja, siiiiii, si hay 🙈😸😼 jejeje, por supuesto 😎🤭🤭🤭😃, no tengo muchos peluches pero vale la pena compartir sus historias y ver que tan fotogénicos me salen 😊🧸🐱🐶🐻🦁
Jajaj, a veces no quieren posar, es como si tengan vida lol 😂
Pero sí, te saldrán fotogénicos! 😊
