Sorry, Olaf: These fuzzy, fluffy plush animals promise the warmest and cuddliest hugs!

Designed for kids ages 4 and up, the new koala and kitten editions to Skyrocket’s My Fuzzy Friends line make the perfect bedtime pals. These furry animals are always up for a hang: In fact, they actually cling to kids with their extra long arms and legs!

Each My Fuzzy Friend features four touch points that create different responses and multi-color LEDs in each cheek that communicate the pet’s feelings. They also emit more than 50 sounds, including laughing, burping, drinking, and more for realistic interactions. 

These plush toys make a great gift for kids or parents with animal allergies! Because each toy is hyper-realistic, kids can get the experience of owning a pet without any of the pet hair or sniffles. Each toy comes with an interactive bottle or an accessory (a leaf for the koala and a brush for the kitten) that elicit reactions from the pet. Kids can learn the responsibility of owning a pet while getting rewarded with happy noises and an actual nuzzle.

My Fuzzy Friends can also be a social-emotional learning toy. Kids can learn how their behavior affects others by the way the toys respond to kids’ actions. Little owners can listen as the koala or kitten responds in real time to feedings or watch as their cheeks blush pink when kids give them a squeeze. Little by little, young animal lovers will learn that the way they treat their animal affects their emotions. 

This toy is also great to take on the go. Not only is it small and compact, but the koala or kitten can cling to kids’ arms and legs, allowing for hands-free carry! Kids can take their new pet on playdates, to the park, on airplanes, or anywhere that they go.

Parents will love that there’s virtually no clean-up required. However, it’s worth noting that the koala comes with a bamboo leaf and the kitten comes with a bottle that kids might lose. Because the accessories add to the play experience, it’s important to keep them in a safe place. Little hands might cause the small pieces to disappear! 

The best part? My Fuzzy Friends retail for $24.99 each, making them the perfect Easter basket stuffer or birthday present. With so many different learning tools and the cuddliest hugs ever, there’s no reason to pass up these Fuzzy Friends!
