FAQs

What is pitch a fête?

Pitch A Fête is a children’s wellness brand rooted in the power of imaginative play. We create story-driven tools that support emotional development through DIY Plush Pal Kits, sensory StoryTents™, and beautifully illustrated SEL (social-emotional learning) books. Each product is thoughtfully designed to help children process big feelings, build self-awareness, and find comfort—wherever they are.

Our kits and resources are made from sustainable materials and crafted with intention. Whether at home, in a hotel, or on the go, Pitch A Fête brings bespoke play to every stay. More than toys, our products are hands-on companions for creativity, calm, and connection.

What are the benefits of a make your own stuffed animal DIY Plush Pal kIt?

Our DIY Plush Pal Kits offer more than just fun—they’re hands-on tools designed to nurture creativity, emotional wellness, and imaginative play.

Each kit includes:

  • A sustainably made Plush Pal (crafted from 9.5 recycled plastic bottles)

  • Soft stuffing and easy-to-follow instructions

  • The option to add an illustrated storybook that expands the character’s emotional journey

  • Free downloadable printables with themed activities and reflection prompts

Children build their pal and bring them to life through open-ended play. Each character is intentionally designed to spark meaningful conversation around bravery, patience, friendship, identity, and emotional growth—making the experience both joyful and deeply enriching.

Why choose a DIY Plush Pal Kit over a traditional stuffed animal store?

At Pitch A Fête, we believe play should do more than pass the time—it should build emotional resilience, spark creativity, and meet children where they are.

Our DIY Plush Pal Kits are part of our signature approach to Bespoke Play for Every Stay™—a travel-ready, heart-centered alternative to the typical stuffed animal store experience. Instead of a one-time outing at the mall, families receive an SEL-rooted kit that turns downtime into meaningful connection, whether at home, on vacation, or in between activities.

Each kit includes:

  • A sustainably made Plush Pal (crafted from 9.5 recycled plastic bottles)

  • Soft stuffing and simple instructions for hands-on creation

  • Optional illustrated storybooks that explore emotional growth through character-led SEL themes

  • Free downloadable activities that promote creativity, mindfulness, and social-emotional development

This isn’t just a toy—it’s a portable ritual of emotional care, confidence-building, and play-based learning. Children create their own companion, engage with imaginative storylines, and develop critical life skills in the process—from empathy and problem-solving to patience and self-expression.

Accessible. Intentional. Emotionally enriching.
That’s the Pitch A Fête difference.

WHY IS THE STORYBOOK SOLD SEPARATELY FROM THE PLUSH PAL KIT?

At Pitch A Fête, we believe in giving families options—and access.

Each Plush Pal Kit is designed to stand on its own as a powerful, imaginative, and emotionally enriching experience. But for families who want to deepen the story, our optional Storybook Collection brings each character’s emotional journey to life through beautifully illustrated SEL (social-emotional learning) books.

We offer the storybooks separately to:

  • Keep our kits affordable and accessible to all families

  • Allow choice—some children may prefer open-ended play without structured storylines, while others thrive with a narrative guide

  • Support different learning styles by providing both print and digital options

WHY DO YOU OFFER FREE DOWNLOADS OF THE STORYBOOKS?

Emotional wellness should never be behind a paywall.

We provide free downloadable versions of every story because we’re committed to equity in play and learning. Families, educators, and therapists can access these resources no matter their budget. For those who prefer a keepsake version, printed books are available for purchase.

Offering both options ensures every child can meet their Plush Pal with curiosity, comfort, and a sense of belonging—whether they read it on a screen or hold it in their hands.

What ages are DIY Plush Pal Kits suitable for?

Our kits are designed for children ages 3 and up. Younger children may need a bit of grown-up help, making this a perfect activity for connection, conversation, and quality time.

HOW DO I LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR STORYBOOK COLLECTION AND CHARACTERS?

Each Plush Pal has its own story in our Storybook Collection, available as both free downloads and printed books. These stories center around meaningful SEL themes like self-expression, mindfulness, and emotional growth—designed to be accessible, engaging, and age-appropriate.
