Catholic Plushies for Kids | Faith-Inspired Toys by Totus Plush

Every brand begins with a story. Ours began with a simple observation, a deep love for the faith, and a growing concern we couldn’t ignore.

As Catholics ourselves, we noticed something missing in the world of children’s toys — especially plush toys. While the market is full of characters, trends, and cool designs, there were surprisingly few beautiful, affordable, and well-made Catholic toys that children could truly connect with. Even fewer that felt modern, thoughtful, and designed with intention.

That realization planted a seed.

A Need We Couldn’t Ignore

Faith is not something meant to be confined to Sundays or special occasions. It is lived, learned, and loved daily — often in the smallest moments. For children especially, faith is shaped through what they see, touch, hear, and hold close.

We saw a real need for toys that could:

  • Gently introduce children to the saints
  • Create positive, loving associations with faith
  • Encourage conversation, curiosity, and prayer
  • Be comforting companions during everyday life

And yet, when we searched for plushies of Catholic saints, we found ourselves disappointed.

Many options were:

  • Overpriced, especially for families with multiple children
  • Poor in quality, with little attention to detail or durability
  • Limited in design, often outdated or lacking warmth
  • Burdened by high shipping costs and long delivery times

Faith-based products should not feel inaccessible or impractical for families who genuinely want to pass down their faith.

That’s when we knew: something had to change.

Toys for Kids — and “Bigger Kids of All Ages”

From the beginning, our vision was clear:

to create faith-filled plushies that children would love — and that adults would secretly want too. Because let’s be honest: faith doesn’t stop at childhood. Many of us are simply bigger kids of all ages, still seeking comfort, meaning, and reminders of God’s presence in our lives. Whether it’s a child holding a saint plushie during bedtime prayers, a teen keeping one nearby during a difficult season, or an adult placing one on a bedside table or prayer corner.

Faith can be tender. It can be comforting. It can be something you hold close when words fall short. That’s why we say: Hug your faith.

Why Plushies?

There is something deeply universal about plush toys. They represent safety, warmth, and companionship.

For children, they often become trusted friends. For adults, they can evoke peace, nostalgia, and reassurance.

We chose plushies intentionally because:

  • They are approachable and non-intimidating
  • They foster emotional connection
  • They invite gentle faith conversations
  • They can accompany prayer, sleep, travel, and play
 

A plushie of a saint is not just a toy:

— it’s a reminder of holiness lived in humanity, made tangible and accessible.

Making Faith Affordable — Without Sacrificing Quality

One of our strongest convictions from day one was this: faith-based products for children should be accessible to all.Too often, Catholic parents are faced with a difficult choice: Either pay a high price for a religious product, or settle for poor quality.

We obviously did not want either option for our products. So we committed ourselves to creating plushies that are:

-Affordably priced

-Carefully designed

-Well-made and durable

-Worth gifting and keeping

That meant making thoughtful decisions at every step — from materials, to sizing, to production, to packaging. We worked hard to balance cost and craftsmanship, because families deserve both.

Thoughtful Design

Design is not an afterthought for us — it is central to everything we do.

Each plushie goes through a careful creative process:

  • Researching the saint’s life and symbolism
  • Choosing colors, expressions, and details that feel warm and child-friendly
  • Ensuring the design feels respectful, gentle, and joyful
  • Testing proportions and textures for comfort and durability

We want every plushie to feel loving, peaceful, and inviting — something a child naturally reaches for, and a parent feels good about giving.

This attention to detail is our way of honoring the saints and the families who welcome them into their homes.

A Brand Rooted in Faith and Purpose

As we shared in a previous blog post, giving back is deeply important to us. A percentage of every sale goes toward helping children in need, because faith must always be lived through action.

This brand is not just about selling plushies. It’s about:

  • Supporting families
  • Nurturing faith
  • Making Catholic values visible in everyday life
  • Giving children comfort and hope
 

We believe small things — when done with love — can make a big difference.

Looking Ahead

This is only the beginning. We have dreams of expanding our collection, telling more saint stories, and continuing to create products that bring faith into daily life — gently, joyfully, and accessibly.

We are grateful to every family who chooses to support this mission. Every plushie sent out carries more than stitching and fabric — it carries prayer, intention, and hope.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

Together, let’s continue to share the faith, one plushie at a time.
