Welcome!
Are you looking for a meaningful gift?
Turning screentime into playtime
Would you want a soft toy that inspires your child to play more – and gain learning while they play?
That’s the intent behind Animazing Toys.
Motivated through frustration with gifts not holding their child’s attention, a parent began writing books, building educational toys and ultimately working with a creative team to make animated stories that provide guided play for animal soft toys.
Since 2024 they have been used in schools and homes, endorsed by children, parents and teachers alike.
You can buy our first series here and the team are currently working to bring our services to zoo shops, with new stories for different endangered animals.
Our first animated adventure lets children become carers of a rescued baby elephant. With insight and facts from an elephant orphanage in Botswana, children learn how to nurture, feed and care for their elephant while playing along with their own elephant toy at home.
You can use our animations with existing elephant toys by buying accecss to the service, or to create a gift we’ve combined the animations with useful accessories and the best, most sustainable soft toys we could find.

Our Commitment to Circularity
In our view, all new products or services should embody sustainability. We’ve discovered a natural way to blend toy consumption with our connection to animal charities’ care by adopting their process of rescue -> rehabilitate -> release.
-
Step 1: Rescue
![🚑]()
Adopt an animal toy that matches the one that will be cared for. In the case of African bush elephant rescue, you’ll need an elephant toy.
-
Step 2: Rehabilitate
![🍼]()
Our fun lessons, led by animated children will give a lot of learning and the opportunity to become an animal expert.
-
Step 3: Release
![🙌]()
We incentivise returning and sharing your old toys – we don’t wish them to clutter homes or end up in the bin. All returned toys are hygienically cleaned for reuse.
