I recently went to NY Toy Fair, and had the chance to hang out with some Fierce Fun Toys! Some super fun toys to be seen at this booth- including our new buddy, Ben KaCHOO! Poor Ben has allergies. He is a Hippopotamus that lives in a swamp at the zoo, and the poor thing just can’t stop sneezing. But he takes it all in stride and really makes the best of it! He even makes a buddy because of his sniffles and snuffles.

Ben is super fun, and makes all the kids laugh when you read his story while making him ACHOO!! all the while. The kids at the Pre-K were so excited that he made a sneeze when you squeeze his tail! (He actually has six varieties of sneeze, as well as saying “WHOA!” and “Excuse me!” Even Hippos have manners!) 🙂

Toy/Book Specifics…
The 10-inch hippo plush toy offers six different ‘sneezes’, along with an “whoa“, and “excuse me” with a squeeze of his tail! Clearly not your average hippo, or even your average sneezer! Add on the 32-page brightly illustrated picture book (with a page of stickers) where after accidentally sneeze-jetting into a crocodile named Arrow, the two start an unexpected friendship. How will this change the swamp? Toy and book are purchased separately.

Ben had a bit too much fun with the stickers in his book (the book comes with 2 pages of adorable stickers). Ok, it wasn’t all Ben’s fault. I had to go help a child who somehow got himself totally soaked in the bathroom from head to toe. When I came back, Little Man and his buddy did some “decorating”…

What do you think of Ben’s new look?
He’s pretty, no? LOL….eh, no harm, no foul! There are 2 other toys that Fierce Fun Toys makes- and new ones on the way!
Currently also available are Harry Hiccers- a Hiccuping Koala, and Norman PhartEphant- a Pharting Elephant.

My Little Man thinks that Norman sounds like “the bestest toy, mom, the very bestest- can you get him now?” and “Mom, Mom….MOMMY! Ben needs a friend, he’s so lonely, mom! The Norman needs to come here now and play with him.”
Yes, “The Norman”. LOL. Ben is really fun, and the kids all loved playing with him. Reading the story was great. I don’t want to tell you too much about it and ruin the suspense, LOL- so lets just say he meets an unlikely buddy in an unlikely way.
And this is a great company- founded and run by a Mommy- that cares about kids. A company that cares!

“Beyond bringing humor and big messages to growing minds, Fierce Fun Toys, LLC is a philanthropic for-profit company the donates a portion of our proceeds to a few amazing charities that help children everywhere, including Half the Sky (supporting orphans in China) and Smile Train (helping children with cleft lip/palette worldwide).”

I love companies that care- and companies run by mommas! GO FIERCE FUN TOYS, you rock!
