Make the busy end-of-summer season more enjoyable with adorable, wearable stuffed animals from Ty. In between school supply checklists, teacher meet-and-greets, and first day of school ensemble choice jitters, it's important to add a dose of fun into this time of year. With back-to-school season quickly approaching, it’s that time of year for parents to think about what kids will need when it comes to school supplies, accessories, and their wardrobe. Send them back to school looking like a little fashionista with our wearable beanies.
Whether you're selecting these stuffed animal accessories for their functionality, such as a keychain clip that helps keep house keys from getting lost at the bottom of a backpack, or for simple fashion fun, like our precious stuffed animal purses, there are several ways to wear beanies with our selection of Ty fashion accessories. Your kids will love that our stuffed animal accessories come in their favorite Beanie Babies and Beanie Boo characters that they can coordinate with their favorite plush. Here are seven ways to wear your beanies as back-to-school accessories.
- Plush Purses - Your child will make a bold fashion statement when they bring their adorable stuffed animal purse to school. They can select their favorite animal and whether they want it to have sequins or extra fluff when choosing a plush purse. Ty plush purses come in animal prints such as dogs, cats, bears, foxes, and unicorns. Stylish and fun, our little girls’ purses are meant to be shown off. She’ll be a little fashionista when she slings her new cat purse over her shoulder or carries it from class to class - accessorizing her school outfit. Our cute mini purses are the perfect place for kids to store some small belongings that they might need during the day, such as extra hair ties or scrunchies, chapstick, or erasers.
- Ty Fashion Slippers - Who doesn’t love plush socks? Your kids can accessorize their school wardrobe with these fun, colorful, animal print plush slipper socks. Our kids’ slippers are easy to slide on, even for the smallest hands. They’re super soft and cozy, with gripper bottoms that help prevent slipping, perfect for busy little feet. Pack an extra pair of Beanie boo slippers for their gym bag. They’ll be a cute conversation starter to make new friends on the first day of school. Don’t want to bring your rainbow leopard or flamingo slippers to school? Keep them at home, ready to wear for cozy after-school wind-downs.
- Kids’ Slide Shoes - Find comfort and fun all in one. On the ride to school, your children will love the comfort of their furry slides with animal faces before slipping into their school shoes. These tiny, cute kids’ slides can be worn on pajama day at school. Choose from soft plush slides or a sequin option. Sure to be a hit, your kids can dress up their feet with their Beanie Boo pals.
- Beanie Backpack Clips - Your kids need backpacks for the new school year, but there’s a way to make it more fun! Our Beanie clips are fabulous back-to-school accessories. These adorable plush keychains for backpacks clip right on to be the ultimate backpack accessories, helping kids show off their favorite characters. Several options are available, from beloved Marvel plush buddies to adorable animals. From glittery-eyed owls to squishy bears and cuddly sloths, there is an option for every kid. These clip-on accessories are a great way to express personality, but they also double as a fidget toy or comforting friend for kids who may feel nervous at school. Their favorite Beanie characters can consistently accompany them on their daily adventure to school.
- Cute Plush Keychains & Bag Charms - Accessorize your backpacks and wristlets with our Beanie clips. Bag charms for kids are all the rage this school year! These clip-on animals are charming, miniature keychain versions of your favorite Beanie plushies. These cute plush keychains are more than just adorable; they’re a fun way for kids to personalize lunchboxes, pencil pouches, and more, while also helping them keep track of small essentials like keys or ID cards. Collect all of these Ty clip-on animals, and dress up your backpack with Disney favorites and animal buddies. These bag charms and keychain animal pals will bobble along for the ride wherever your kids go.
- DIY Beanie Accessories - With a bit of creativity, you can turn your favorite plush pal into fun, wearable stuffed animal accessories, perfect for the school season. Try attaching a small magnet to a Beanie Baby’s back so it sticks to belt bags or binder covers! Or loop a mini Beanie through a scrunchie for a hair tie that’s totally unique. For pre-teens and teenagers, add Velcro dots to make Beanies locker decor-ready, or turn one into a pin for a pencil pouch or lunch bag. You can even clip them onto a lanyard to serve as a fuzzy sidekick or hall pass clip buddy. These DIY ideas are the perfect way to turn plush toys into playful boys' and girls’ back-to-school accessories that show off their personality in unexpected ways.
- Make a Costume - Even in the warm weather months, it’s never too early to start planning the perfect Halloween costume. Beanies are an adorable (and easy!) way to take your costume ideas to the next level. Add a Dalmatian Beanie Boo to a Cruella de Vil costume. Clip a bat Beanie to your cape as a spooky sidekick for a mini vampire outfit. Bring a lion Beanie along to complete your wild (plush) safari explorer look. You can also match your costume to your Beanie. Go full DIY and dress as your favorite Beanie Baby—complete with a Ty name tag. Your favorite plush pals can double as inspiration and accessories for a look that’s cute, clever, and ready for trick-or-treating.
Ensure that your kids are fully equipped with the best Ty fashion accessories and apparel as they head back to school. Your children already love their Beanie Boos, but send them off with wearable stuffed animal accessories so their Beanie buddies can accompany them to class.
