A bedtime toy is a toy used by children while going to sleep. It is often a plush toy or something of that nature that children can cuddle up with while going to sleep, and is often combined with a nightlight.
The bedtime toys are generally of an animal, such as the common teddy bear, or any other creature, such as a mythical creature. The toy is often used for physical comfort, and sometimes mental comfort for children with a strong fear of the night.

Famous quotes containing the words bedtime and/or toy:
“Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.”
—Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
