We Cool Toys' Lil' Shuckies Tap the DIY Bead Toy and Surprise Factor

With its latest launch, We Cool Toys mixes the aesthetics of the DIY bead toy and "the thrill of unboxing." Dubbed 'Lil' Shuckies,' the product features a handful of beads, three glittery shells, with surprise pearls hidden inside. For a greater impact, the gem will be encased in "a colorful variety of stretchy slime." The range boasts a total of 24 collectible pearls, boasting 12 common, nine rare, and three ultra-rare specimens. Through this, We Cool Toys embraces the element of surprise, motivating kids to gather all of the unique pearls. Moreover, Lil' Shuckies doubles as a DIY bead toy as children can make unique bracelets with their pearls.

For the launch of Lil' Shuckies, We Cool Toys appointed actress Sissy Sheridan -- the host of Nickelodeon's 'DIY With Me,' as ambassador.
