Every child loves stuffed animals, but the one-of-a-kind plush toy, Animoodles, have taken the classic cuddly toy one step further, by incorporating elements of personalization and imagination.
This incredibly popular toy was released on Kickstarter and exceeded its goal of $31,749 after receiving $113,103 in funding, in just a few weeks. What separates these toys from the rest is their magnetic components, which enables children to take them apart and snap them back together, creating something entirely new, each time they play. The entirely interchangeable and rotating plush parts, result in endless combinations of fun that become more wild and imaginative, as a child's Animoodles' collection grows.
This product was designed with longevity in mind, as it serves as both a cuddly stuffed friend and a building set, appealing to a wide demographic of children, even as they grow older.
