The cuddle+kind Story
We all love to treat our loved ones to a special gift or memory don’t we, but what if we could give something to the millions of disadvantaged children worldwide in the process? The founders of cuddle + kind have made it their goal to do just that. The couple from Ontario, Canada, have a vision – to provide one million meals a year to hungry children, through the sale of their magical range of handmade dolls. The theory is simple and heartfelt, for every signature doll sold, ten meals will be donated to children in need around the world.
It’s a super mission, and not a difficult one to take part in. Just take a look at Amelia the Cow, Baby Honey Bear and her tiny friends and you’ll be captivated…

At Sky Rockets, we think our families will want to know about this worthy cause – it’s an opportunity for people to help, so read on to discover why millions of people worldwide have supported the cuddle + kind quest.
