The cuddle + kind charitable doll collection is not only adorable but is also socially conscious. "With social good at the root of the brand, each doll purchased provides 10 meals to hungry children."

In addition to their [adorable design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloudheads) -- these [knitted dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lulu-the-lamb) measure 20" in size and are inspired by both human and animal characters -- cuddle + kind's products are also safe for kids of all ages, even infants. Their [stuffed animal design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hugz) is lightweight and is easy to maintain thanks to a use of machine-washable materials.

This toy collection is a favorite among parents who seek to make a convenient and socially conscious purchase. Launching on Indiegogo on Wednesday, September 16th, cuddle + kind promotes play while making a difference for those less fortunate. The company works in partnership with World Food Program USA and Children’s Hunger Fund to provide meals for kids who need them most.
