Make Your Own
Stuffed Animal Kit
BRING HOME A DIY PLUSH PAL WITH A PURPOSE
At Pitch A Fête, we believe every child deserves a companion that reflects their inner world. Our DIY Plush Pal Make Your Own Stuffed Animal Kit are more than stuffed animals—they’re buildable characters with storylines that support social-emotional learning, self-discovery, and inclusive, imaginative play.
Children bring their Plush Pal to life through hands-on creation—choosing from thoughtful characters like Zeke the Dragon (who forges his own path) or Petal, Skyler, and Lily who each walk through life in their own way. Each one is designed to support emotional regulation, build confidence, and make space for kids to feel seen—just as they are.
Whether your child is navigating big feelings, sensory sensitivities, or simply loves storytelling, every Plush Pal becomes a gentle, creative companion in their journey.
story-led learning, designed with intention
Every Plush Pal begins with a story—and it all starts with Zeke.
Our Storybook Collection introduces children to rich, character-led narratives that gently guide emotional regulation, sensory awareness, and self-expression through play. Told in each character’s voice, these storybooks invite children to explore feelings, identity, and belonging in ways that are imaginative, inclusive, and deeply personal.
In honor of our accessibility mission, each storybook is available as a free digital download—a resource designed to meet families where they are, without barriers.
For those who wish to keep the magic on the shelf or give it as a gift, beautifully bound keepsake editions are available for purchase on Amazon.
New adventures launch every season, beginning with Zeke the Dragon: Forging His Own Path—a story of bravery, individuality, and emotional growth that sets the stage for our entire Plush Pal universe.
Because every child deserves to see themselves in a story—and every family deserves options that honor both purpose and beauty.
