LB, I have heard that chabad is very makpid about not having non-kosher animals around- not even in picture books or as toys. So instead of teddy bears, the kids will have stuffed lambs or cows. I don’t know if they eat animal cookies. You don’t find that among other types of frum Jews, although many will not have an impure animal as a pet. I don’t think anyone (other than maybe Chabad?) has an issue with animal crackers, no matter what age the child. My kids do not confuse eating a lion cookie with the real thing.
