Looking for a fierce protector and friend to cuddle up with? The King of the Jungle – at least in his stuffed animal form – makea a great stuffed toy!

The noble appearance of the lion makes it immediately recognizable, respected and loved. Children and adults both see it as an attractive creature. It’s popular in art, toys, movies – and of course stuffed animals!

When you want to feel secure and have a great companion by your side, the lion is a great choice. Check out some of our favorites below!

Aurora Mid Size Plush 12″ Lion

Aurora is one of our favorita makers of stuffed toys, and this cuddly, cute lion is among their best!

The lion measures about 12″ high and is in a fixed seated position. He looks out gently from under his mane with lock-washer eyes that make himsafer for young children.

The fur is very soft. It has a velvety feel to it, making it great to hug close to your body and it even feels great against the face!

This great plush toy will quickly become a favorite for a baby or older child – and even simply for the young at heart! It holds up well even with machine washing and survives the beatings only a toddoler can dish out.

He does look a lot like a bear with a tail and mane added on; however, it’s still a very enjoyable toy!

Wildlife Tree 12″ Stuffed Lion

This lion looks like all the weight of the world rests on his shoulders; the combination of the way his eyes are set and his “wrinkles” make him seem very pensive. But that doesn’t take away from his awesome cuteness!

This is another 12″ plush toy. He’s floppy, so he doesn’t stand up well on all fours but can be propped up or spread out as if totally exhausted and relaxed.

The colors are somewhat darker than many other stuffed lions, which seems to be a more realistic look.

This toy can be washed and is recommended for ages 3 and up.

Melissa & Doug Elvis Lion

Now, you’re unlikely to find a lion like this on the savannah. But for your child who likes bright colors and something a bit more artistic, you’ll love this guy!

Elvis Lion from Beeposh by Melissa & Doug is a great, happy-looking character, from his smile right through his rainbow-colored body. Even his fringed mane highlights colors and has a relaxed, cool look.

The material feels like a fleece and is extremely soft, and the fill also is, as they describe it “squishy”. It’s overall great to hold and feel against the skin.

It’s machine washable too, and holds up well – despite the fringed mane. The colors even hold up well!

This rainbow lion measures about 18″ from head to toe.

Ty Beanie Babies 6″ Cecil the Lion

This genuine TY Beanie Baby comes with the original tags, and they’re just as cute as ever!

Cecil the Lion is the smallest stuffed lion in our list, but that doesn’t diminish a bit how incredibly great he is!

His dark fur and very dark mane look great as he sits and stares tenderly at you.

This is a great piece to help round out your beanie baby collection or to start one. Orjust to enjoy as a cuddly toy!

Cecil was created in memory of the real-life Cecil the Lion who was killed on a safari several years ago in a famous case.

JOON Leo The Lion Stuffed Animal, Tan, 17 Inches

We’ll wrap it up with one of the larger stuffed toys on our list here. At 17″ sitting and 25″ from head to toe, he’s going to be a good match for your toddler for quite a while. Great to hug and hold!

A very soft plush is used for the body of this lion toy. He’s designed to stay in a sitting position, and even has beads in that area of his anatomy to keep him in position. Of course, that could be dangerous for the youngest children, as could his plastic eyes. The eyes are sewn on tightly and the body itself is strong, but it is still worth taking note of.

With his large size and incredible softness, this is a toy that can be comfortably cuddled with, no matter who it’s for!
