Toy Company Takes Diversity and Tolerance Message to Kickstarter to Teach Young Kids Through Jumbled Stuffed Animals

TUSTIN, Calif., June 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- JUMBiELAND Industries, LLC, a toy company that develops consumer entertainment products to fuel a child's imagination, today announced a new Kickstarter campaign to fund five additions to its line of stuffed animals, which help teach kids and parents about diversity and tolerance from a very young age. Some lucky backers will have the chance to create their own unique one-of-a-kind JUMBiES. The company is looking to raise at least $17,500 on Kickstarter by Friday, June 27. Interested backers should visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/43379820/jumbies-two-animals-in-one-tm?ref=home_location

Called JUMBiES, these plush toys are unique combinations of animals (two animals in one) who live in on a magical island called JUMBiELAND. The new animals will include:

• Rockefeller the Ticoon (jumble between a tiger and a raccoon)
• Bling-Bling the Pandapotamus (jumble between a panda and a hippo)
• Ivanna Poquito (jumble between a poodle and a mosquito)
• Gurtrude the Gurtle (jumble between a goose and a turtle)
• Morris the Stinkasaurus (jumble between a stink bug and a Stegosaurus)

"JUMBiES are designed to celebrate all of the wonderful and wacky things that make each of us different," said Stefan Marc, president, JUMBiELAND Industries. "If we want to live in a better world, then I believe we need to show our kids a better model of acceptance that is rooted in imagination and fun."

Along with Bazoo T. Stork, these new animals will join the existing JUMBiES family including:

• Bunker the Dingbat (dingo + bat)
• Darwin the Duckey (duck + monkey)
• Zumbo the Zelephant (zebra + elephant)
• Kloie the Horsefly (horse + butterfly)
• Arthur the Camelot (camel + ocelot)
• Filbert the Blabbit (blue bird + rabbit)
• Samson the Sealion (seal + lion)
• Warner the Tyramasaurus, (T. Rex + ram)
• and many more! 

Each JUMBiE animal has its own likes and dislikes and its own motto such as "Don't be a Dingbat" or "Life's just Duckey" as well as a D.O.J. (Date of Jumble) which is its "birthday."
