Koala Valentines
My little girl is starting to enter the tween stage where toys are no longer their main focus, but small knickknacks and accessories are fun to play with. I’m discovering that girls at this age really enjoy backpack accessories, pens, and small toy squishies to share with their friends.
When we stumbled upon these koala pencil toppers, my daughter immediately knew they were the perfect Valentine gift. The koalas are soft and easy to clip on to pencils or other small objects. We were able to find them in grey and soft beige color, both adorably cute. My daughter is really excited to hand out these adorable koala pencil huggers to her friends at school.
The best part is these make a great non-candy option for classrooms that have food allergy restrictions.
