Best Sloth Toys
There's a reason kids love these sleepy animals.
What’s better than a sloth, you may ask yourself? Why, a sloth bear, of course. From Sid the sloth, to Fingerlings sloths, these sleepy critters were popularized by the Ice Age films.
With a natural expression that looks like a smile, the mere sight of a sloth has been known to bring people to tears. Why? Some say it’s because these adorably lethargic animals succeed by doing less – spending up to 15 hours a day snoozing in treetops – while the rest of us rush through our day-to-day responsibilities.

For kids, however, the appeal of the sloth is more about Sid from Ice Age and less about the mammal’s laid-back approach to life. Since it is illegal to have one as a pet in the U.S., we’ve rounded up some fun sloth-inspired items for your kids.
