Storytelling Holiday Pop-Ups

Cubcoats x Amazon IRL Invites Kids to Discover Character Stories

— November 7, 2019 — Life-Stages
Cubcoats was the number one bestseller in the stuffed animal and plush toy category Amazon Prime Day, so Cubcoats teamed up with Amazon to create a unique holiday pop-up experience for kids. The Cubcoats x Amazon IRL pop-up in California will be open throughout the holiday season and gives kids the chance to get to know the stories of each character in real life.

Cubcoats take the form of plushies that can transform into hoodies, making them companions that are wearable and playable—and as such, the toys for kids ages two to eight are perfect for families that like to travel light.

The wearable toys are designed to share comfort, imagination and empowerment with kids and at the pop-up, young ones will be able to participate in fun photo opportunities and adventures with their family.
