BRING HOME A STORYTIME TOOLKIT™
A Make-Your-Own Stuffed Animal Kit for Emotional Wellness & Creative Growth
At Pitch A Fête, we believe every child deserves a companion who reflects their inner world—someone to support emotional wellness, spark imagination, and help them feel seen, soothed, and strong.
That’s why we created the StoryTime ToolKit™—a Make Your Own Stuffed Animal Kit designed not as a toy, but as a powerful emotional wellness tool. Each kit includes a comforting Plush Pal™ and a beautifully illustrated storybook that brings their journey to life.
These story-led companions are crafted to nurture emotional literacy, imaginative thinking, and self-expression through meaningful play.
Each StoryTime ToolKit™ includes:
A high-quality Plush Pal™ your child brings to life through guided creation
A matching hardcover storybook from our StoryBook Collection™
Optional StoryPages™—printable emotional learning activities that deepen the experience
Children meet their Plush Pal™ through story—connecting emotionally before ever building their new friend. This blend of narrative, creativity, and reflection helps foster growth, resilience, and connection.
story-led learning, designed with intention
Every Plush Pal™ begins with a story—because true connection starts from the inside out.
Our StoryBook Collection™ introduces children to emotionally intelligent, character-led narratives that gently support regulation, self-expression, and sensory awareness through imaginative storytelling. Told in the character’s voice, each story helps kids explore identity, feelings, and belonging in a way that’s warm, inclusive, and developmentally aligned.
Each StoryTime ToolKit™ includes:
One ultra-soft, eco-conscious Plush Pal™ (made from 9.5 recycled water bottles)
A matching storybook from our StoryBook Collection™ (included in every kit)
Optional Add-On: StoryPages™ printable activity pack for extended play and reflection
To support accessibility, our free download library offers printable versions of every book—ideal for classrooms, therapy offices, or home emotional learning routines.
New characters are released seasonally, with each story offering a new lens on growth, compassion, and self-discovery. Because every child deserves to see themselves in a story—and every family deserves tools that spark meaningful connection.
