Multisensory Oven Playsets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Cookeez Makery Helps Kids Create a Sweetly Scented Best Friend

— January 24, 2023 — Life-Stages
Cookeez Makery by Moose Toys puts a twist on oven-themed playsets for kids by inviting kids to make their own "dough" to create a sweetly scented plush companion. After kids mix their own "dough," and shape their furry friend with a mold, they can place their creation in the oven. From there, a warm plush puppy, bunny or kitten emerges, ready for snuggles. The cinnamon- or bread-scented plush companions make sweet sounds when squeezed, making the sensory experience all the more memorable.

With this new toy, Moose Toys continues to show why it is known for creating in the special feature plush category, especially with signature surprises and reveals. In fact, NPD's data for December 2022 confirms that Moose Toys has maintained its status as the top manufacturer of Special Feature Plush, growing 261% vs. 2021.
