It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when looking for the perfect stuffed animal for your kiddo. There are basically millions to choose from, and there are so many different kinds, it’s hard to narrow down quality, softness, washability, and that unknown snuggle factor without sifting through hundreds of customer reviews. Sure, if you’re crafty, you can make stuffed animals for your kids, but if looking at a sewing machine makes you nauseous, don’t throw in the towel and buy whatever is the least-terrifying-looking critter at the toy store.

Take a look through these adorable creatures, from a three-toed sloth to a lovable llama, and find your kid’s perfect pal.
