What kind of fill would you use to stuff children's cloth sewn blocks?

Answer 1

I would use Polyfil because it is light , washable, and relatively safe. To put small bean-like items in something for children is asking for trouble because it will have more weight when tossed (how much do you like that Ming Vase?) and if it tears open, they or a pet could eat the items. Also, you don't want to smell a toy with perishable items in it once it gets wet. You can make a toy more interesting to squish, too, by putting in something that will crinkle, like cellophane. Just remember to punch little holes in it before placing it inside in the event it would escape the toy and end up covering a child's nose or mouth. Just being overly cautious.....

Answer 2

Polyester fiberfill or if this is too light in weight, corn kernels might be good (just buy a bag of corn and fill it up).

Answer 3

I have seen my grandma use raw peas, pinto beans, cotton fill,
shredded foam rubber, and raw rice.

Answer 4

I would use toy stuffing which you will be able to find in most, if not all, craft shops.

Answer 5

Polyfill would be best. It's what they use on stuffed animals.
