Discovering Cuddle+Kind
Why We Love cuddle+kind: Heartfelt Dolls with a Purpose
If you believe toys should be as meaningful as they are beautiful, then cuddle+kind is bound to capture your heart. This family-founded brand has created something truly special — hand-knit dolls with a soul, designed to comfort children and feed others.
Launched by a Canadian family of five, cuddle+kind was born from a simple idea: to make a difference. With each doll sold, cuddle+kind provides 10 meals to children in need. To date, they've donated over 25 million meals — and counting.
What Makes cuddle+kind So Special?

Each cuddle+kind doll is lovingly handcrafted by artisans in Peru and Nepal using natural, high-quality cotton. Every stitch is thoughtfully made, giving each doll a unique charm. These are more than toys — they’re keepsakes that tell a story.

From Hannah the Bunny’s dreamy daisy chains to Asher the Cow’s call for kindness, every cuddle+kind doll has a heartfelt message to share. With their own names, stories, and even birthdays, these dolls help nurture empathy, confidence, and joy in every child they meet.
- 🌍 Doing Good, Together
For every doll sold, 10 meals are donated to children in need through respected giving partners. It's a beautiful way to teach little ones about kindness and generosity from the very start.
