Kimochis are small pillows with a feeling (happy, sad, silly, brave) printed on one side and a corresponding facial expression on the other. Each Kimochis plush character comes with a set of three feelings and a how-to Kimochis Feel Guide. The characters — Clover, Cat, Huggtopus, Cloud, Bella Rose, Bug and Lovey Dove — have a special pocket where kids can store their "Kimochis" or feelings. Using the characters and their Kimochis, kids can get in touch with their emotions through puppetry and play. “Getting back to the basics by playing and communicating with Kimochis™ is a simple, yet powerful way to teach children how to: be aware of feelings, choose how to communicate in emotional moments, and redo mistakes. Children will be drawn to the fun, adorable, accessible characters. Parents will be drawn to the high-quality craftsmanship and the valuable educational content," Susan Schroeder, director of marketing and communications for Plushy Feely Corp., told TDmonthly. —  Awards: 2009 Creative Child Magazine Seal of Excellence, Best Vacation Products by Dr. Toy, and Kaboose.com's Top 13 Amazing Toys for Preschoolers.

The FolkMonsters back story is that a meteorite fell from outer space into a pile of fabric in the designers’ workroom one night. The resulting spores mutated the fabric, and FolkMonsters were born.  Blueper likes to sleep on a hard, warm circuit board. He is super fuzzy blue with orange stripes. His favorite foods are oranges and blueberries; if he doesn’t eat enough of these his beautiful fur colors start to fade. He likes to invent things. “FolkMonsters are delightful friends, not scary at all,” says Elaine Kollias, marketing Director. “Their heartwarming faces and bright colors will endear all.”
