Squishmallows™ Plush Line Wins 2017 NAPPA Award

Kellytoy announced that its all-new collectible Squishmallows plush line has won a 2017 National Parenting Product Award (NAPPA).The NAPPA awards are given to products tested by a panel of expert judges and family testers.

This is the first award win for the Squishmallows “squad” which Kellytoy will showcase for the first time at the ABC Kids Show October 17-19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center (booth #B4827).

“Squishmallows stuffed animals are super soft and super cute,” says NAPPA Director Elena Epstein. “Kids will love their whimsical look and how cuddly they feel.” With 25 years of experience in the industry, the NAPPA award is one of the longest running and most respected awards programs in the U.S. NAPPA has continuously been celebrated as the “go-to” source for parents and professionals seeking the best products for their children and families.

Clip-ons (3.5”), small (8”), medium (13”) and large (16”) sizes have a suggested retail price of $2.99, $6.99, $12.99 and $19.99, respectively. Crazy cuddly and squishy, the Squishmallows collectible plush toy line is made of super soft Spandex EF and polyester stuffing as puffy as marshmallows. Caring for them is easy. Just wash in warm water, tumble-dry on medium heat, and give them lots of hugs and love.

Launching this month with eight styles in four sizes – including pink and blue penguins, purple and grey owls, a cat, fox, frog and hedgehog – the Squishmallows line will expand in 2018 with Valentine’s Day and Easter seasonal styles. Customers who sign up for the email list at www.squishmallows.com get the first look at four special editions available later this year.

“All of us at Kellytoy would like to express gratitude to NAPPA for their recognition of our brand new Squishmallows line,” says Kellytoy CEO, Jonathan Kelly. Each Squishmallow character’s background story is detailed on its 3D hangtag. Kelly says, “Children will get to know the characters including ‘Cam’ a calico cat who loves going to the beach.  ‘Fifi’ the pink fox is the girl for more adventurous kids.”
