EVEN PICKY EATERS ARE SCOOPING UP THREE PEAS IN A POD – TODAY’S HOT TOY CRAZE

EVEN PICKY EATERS ARE SCOOPING UP THREE PEAS IN A POD – TODAY’S HOT TOY CRAZE

Pea Pod Babies Boast 27 Collectible Tots Plus Three Rare And One Ultra-Rare Set Of Twins! Every Baby Doll Is Unique, Just Like Us!

Parker, CO (September 19, 2020) -- Move over carrots, peas are being preferred by kids with the rollout of Pea Pod Babies ($11.99). Inside each soft silicone peapod rest three pods - one containing a mystery baby doll, one filled with a complete outfit, and one holding accessories and a birth certificate. Kids won't know which baby they are adopting until they pop it open. Boys and girls enjoy caring for their baby, even (or especially) when they squeeze baby after a bottle feeding as it spits it back out!

Today’s in-demand collectible made its debut earlier this year at the AmericanInternational Toy Fair. Retailers were given free Pea Pod Babies during the February 2020 gathering by parent company Thin Air Brands. The reactions were immediate and overwhelmingly “SO CUTE!” 

“The demand has been incredible,” remarked Mike Searls, founder & CEO of Thin Air Brands. “In my 28 years in the business, I have never seen a new product take off like Pea Pod Babies. We are seeing retail orders followed by replenishment orders within days.”

The secret may be the affordable and adorable design of the toy. Each soft pea pod contains three mystery capsules. Kids will not know the identity of their baby until they uncover its birth certificate with an enchanting back story. For example, Terrance, “is nothing but a bundle of kindness! He likes a nice run at the park and loves to pet the neighbor's dog! He's just the sweetest little baby you ever did meet!” Meet Marcey, with her baby blues “will get you to do anything for her. But how could you say no to such a beautiful little face! She loves to eat animal crackers and sit on her baby pillow.”

Families will be on the lookout for all 27 babies as they mark the enclosed chart which identifies each Pea Pod Baby. Like all collectibles, there’s a hunt for the rare ones. Pea Pod Babies has hidden a set of twins in one Ultra-Rare Pea Pod. Find it and gloat!

To extend open-end play, Dinner & Bath Time Playset ($19.99) allows youngsters to imagine scenarios that reflect life at home. The set is packed with over 25 pieces including two Pea Pod Babies with all of their accessories. This makes mix and matching baby’s outfits an engaging experience on the spot.

THiN AiR Brands announces launch of Nature Bound Toys

DENVER, Aug. 16, 2016 – THiN AiR Brands LLC, a leading children’s toy company, is proud to introduce Nature Bound Toys™ - a new science and nature toy line that encourages kids to be active and explore the outdoors. 

Nature Bound Toys are created to be different from other toys on the market. “Our toys are designed to be tools that kids will use to explore nature,” said Mike Searls, Founder, THiN AiR Brands LLC. “These aren’t toys that kids will play with and toss aside.”

Active kids are healthier kids. “We want kids to get moving so we give them a reason to get off the couch and away from technology. But, we also know that toys have to be fun to keep their short attention span engaged.”

According to recent studies, kids learn more by being hands on. With Nature Bound Toys kids interact one-on-one with nature and have an amazing educational experience along the way. Whether it be catching insects with the patented Bug Vacuum, watching birds with Binoculars, growing butterflies in a Butterfly Village, or watching ant’s dig and tunnel in their Ant Treehouse, kids have fun while they learn. Getting kids involved with hands on activities encourages them to run, walk, crawl, climb, and improve their mind.
