The handcrafted line of plush toys draws from Sago Mini’s array of cuddly, quirky characters that appear throughout its wildly popular series of preschool apps. Cornflower blue Jack, the rabbit who exudes happiness especially when he’s busy; pink and perky Robin who flies around living by the motto “sharing is caring”; golden Jinja,the cat who likes to sort crayons and preen; and toffee-colored Harvey the dog who invites everyone to play with him, including his own reflection!
The Sago Mini Plush Toys are available for pre-order online at http://sagomini.com beginning today. They will begin shipping and be available in-store at specialty retailers in late November. Each will carry a suggested retail price of $24.95 (CDN/USD).
