Guaranteed Safe Checkout
Description
Meet this wonderfully cheerful and completely irresistible Playful Penguin — your new black-and-white, bright-eyed, pocket-sized, eco-friendly companion with the most joyfully waddling energy. The penguin holds a very special place in our community — that perfectly formal little tuxedo coat, that wonderfully upright and determined waddle, that completely unself-conscious and deeply endearing approach to absolutely everything — and this beautifully detailed 5" Pocketkins Eco version captures all of that wonderful penguin charm in the most perfectly pocket-sized form. That gorgeous, soft black-and-white plush coat with beautifully detailed features, that sweet, rounded little body, and those tiny flippers, all in a wonderfully light 42-gram package made from 100% recycled materials. Good for you and good for the planet.
Perfect for neurodivergent children and adults, anxious kids, or anyone who has always felt a deep and instant connection with the penguin — that sense of being perfectly and completely yourself, dressed exactly right, waddling forward with total confidence and not a single concern about what anyone else thinks. Penguins are social, devoted and wonderfully unbothered — they find their person, and they stay completely loyal. This is the ESSA for someone who knows exactly who they are and is learning to waddle forward with confidence anyway.
Did you know? Penguins are one of the only birds that cannot fly — but they are extraordinary swimmers, reaching speeds of up to 25 kilometres per hour underwater. They traded the sky for the sea and they have absolutely no regrets whatsoever.
