Parents are seeking toys that go beyond fun, and Emotional Baggage by Solobo Toys was created to help children understand and express their emotions. The set includes eight plush emotions (happy, sad, angry, surprised, silly, anxious, loved, and tired) that can be used at home and in classroom settings to encourage kids to explore their feelings and increase their capacity for empathy.
These soft plush toys for kids ages three and up come in an embroidered canvas bag for storing and transporting the colorful characters. Portable and calming thanks to their sensory qualities, the plush spheres are made for squeezing and safe throwing.
Solobo Toys' Emotional Baggage won Plush Toy of the Year at the 25th Anniversary Toy of the Year Awards.
