Did you know real sea otters cuddle up so they don’t float away from each other?
It’s true. And adorable.
And a lesson for all of us: No matter what happens or where we are or what’s going on in our lives, we always have each other to hold onto.
These huggable, snuggable otters go everywhere you do, keeping you connected to the ones you love and reminding us that we’re all better together.
Helping Maintain Connections
A Physical Reminder of
Our Emotional Connection
That fear of separation when kiddo doesn’t want to go to bed? Or go to school? Or stay behind while you go to work? Or when it’s not your weekend with them?
Our children feel it, and let’s be honest—we feel it too. But sometimes it’s hard to express it to each other in ways we mutually understand.
And that’s where these plush otters can help. These little guys give us a physical reminder of the emotional connection that we sometimes don’t realize is always there or can’t quite find the right words for.
“These little guys work wonders in helping establish and reinforce the emotional bonds critical to a healthy, thriving life—for both children and the loved ones in their lives.”

To Keep Us Connected
In addition to holding hands when they sleep, real otters also have a little pouch of skin under their arms to hold their favorite rocks that they use to break open the shellfish they love to eat. Image: ©WCS
Inspired by details like that, we designed these little guys with features to help us stay connected, like the little pockets on the backs of their hands that can hold love notes and happy thoughts.

About Toad & Tadpole
Families Working Together To Help Us All Be Better Together
Toad & Tadpole is quite literally a family business: we were started in 2015 by Mark King and his daughter Soleil as a way to keep their relationship strong in a post-divorce family. After struggling to find things they could do together without either side feeling left out, they began developing ideas for products, services, and experiences that both parents and kids can enjoy simultaneously to keep their connections strong.
Our end goal: design a world of shared experiences for both kids and the people that care about them, because we believe we’re better together.
