Between the two families that run WKND, we've got three young kids, and we know just how intense big feelings can be. Whether it’s worry, frustration, excitement, or joy. That’s why we love PocoKins, a collection of pocket-sized, handmade plush friends designed to comfort kids through life’s ups and downs.
Pocket-Sized Pals With Purpose
Each PocoKin comes with an affirmation card that helps children navigate emotions like courage, calm, happiness, worry, or sweet dreams. Lorenzo the Bee carries a courage affirmation, while Benson the Dragonfly encourages calm. Whisper your feelings, hug your pal tight, and keep it close—these tiny friends fit perfectly in backpacks, pockets, or on the bedside table.
We've seen it first hand: having a comforting friend nearby can make an enormous difference and help children learn emotional resilience and self-soothing techniques. These small little friends are just too cute, and they help kids feel more secure, grounded, and ready to face the day's great big challenges.
Handmade With Heart
Every PocoKin is ethically handmade in Peru with high-quality, sustainable materials. The manufacturing process empowers local artisans with fair wages and safe working conditions, while also supporting lasting social and environmental change in their communities. We love to showcase products that embody intentional living. It's a small way to teach children that the choices we make can have a positive impact on the world. Trust us: even when you think kid's aren't paying attention, they are.
More Than a Toy
Every PocoKin purchased supports In a Perfect World, providing food, clean water, schools, and empowerment for children globally. That means every PocoKin brings comfort to your child and hope to children around the world.
With a variety of characters—from Carlton the Squirrel to Lexi the Ladybug—there’s a PocoKin for every child and every feeling. PocoKins make great bedtime buddies, and they fit nicely in backpacks and travel bags.
Explore our collection of PocoKins, and remember you’re gifting more than a toy—you’re giving your child a tool for emotional growth, a soft introduction to empathy, and a tangible way to participate in mindful, conscious living from an early age.
