These days, stuffed animals can get really expensive. This is a real problem when you have a child that toys and is always asking for more. However, there are some that are pretty affordable, if you know where to look. One good option for affordable items is Animal Alley stuffed animals from Toys "R" Us.

If your child wants a whole zoo, Animal Alley stuffed animals are definitely one of the most affordable choices. They have some items based on real animals and made to look fairly realistic, as well as some that are purely imaginary. You can get your child a black lab or basset hound just like the family dog, or you can get them a blue mommy and baby gorilla, it all depends on what your child will like best.

There aren't many places you can find stuffed toy items as affordable as Animal Alley stuffed animals. You can get a bear for around $6, and many of the dogs are around $8. Except for the jumbo-sized items, which are between $50 and $100, almost all of these items are less than $20. Since these toys are so affordable, they make great small gifts for kids.

If your child wants a zoo, you can get a lot of their favorite zoo animals. You can get them an elephant, a tiger, a panda bear, a lion, a giraffe, a cheetah, a snow leopard, a penguin, a monkey, and a brown bear.

The selection changes frequently, so if you can't find the animal you are interested during one visit to Toys "R" Us (or similar store), you can check back the next time you visit the store. You can also check online auction websites since people usually have a variety of these items for sale on these websites, and many of them may no longer be available at the usual retail stores.

Most of the Animal Alley line are meant for children 3 years old and up, but they do also have some animals and toys made for babies, though there isn't as large a selection. Most of the items for babies contain rattles or noisemakers and are multicolored either with bright colors or pastel colors to appeal to the interests of babies.

So whether you are buying for your own little one, the grandkids, for your organization's nursery or schoolroom, you'll find Animal Alley to be the perfect choice -- an affordable zoo your kids will surely love!
