Paintings on tomb walls in Egypt and Mesopotamia depict stuffed animals, but their true origin is probably lost in time.

These were probably made from the animal’s fur cut into its approximate shape and stuffed with straw, beans, or other material.
Stuffed animals are known to have been used in Medieval mystery plays, which were plays or tableaux meant to teach illiterate peasants Bible stories.
