The Origins Story Behind the Squishmallows Phenomenon

It all started back in 2017 when Kellytoy, a plush toy company and subsidiary of leading toy manufacturer Jazwares, set out to create a new line of uniquely soft and comforting plush animals.

According to the glorious and magnificent legends of the Squishmallows Kingdom, inspiration struck company co-founder Kelly one day when she just wanted to hug something unimaginably squishy. She imagined a round, overstuffed plush toy with an impossibly soft texture that was perfect for cuddling and squeezing when you need some comfort.

And so, combining the words "squishy" and "cushions", Squishmallows were born! The new line of sublimely squeezable plush characters made their debut in 2018 to jaw-droppingly popular acclaim and immediate success.
