Ohana means nobody gets left behind, so Disney is taking 626 Day straight to kids’ toy boxes!
Inspired by Stitch’s original codename, Experiment 626, June 26 has become a yearly celebration of the adorable blue alien. Coming off the heels of the live-action Lilo & Stitch, this year’s product launches are more out-of-this-world than ever. From toys and games to apparel and books, fans of all ages can honor the 23-year-old franchise the only way Stitch knows how — with action-packed playtime.

Kids can bring home their own Stitch from the pound with a playful line of plushes. Snuggle up with Stitch in all shapes and sizes, from giant squishes by Build-A-Bear to Funko’s Luau Stitch, holding his own pina colada. Just Play is also expanding its Lilo & Stitch lineup with an interactive extraterrestrial, complete with more than 100 sounds that capture Stitch’s many chaotic emotions.

If your kid is built to destroy, they can recreate Lilo’s House, Stitch, and Angel in new LEGO sets, smash them Stitch-style, and build them all over again.

Stitch is also making his way to storytime! Families can add three tropical titles to their libraries: a color-by-number activity book, Spring Fever for early readers, and Be More Stitch, which encourages little ones to be more positive, happy, and confident — just like Stitch (at times)! While they read, kids can tune into Elvis Presley on eKids’ Bluetooth headphones, earbuds, and even walkie-talkies.

This summer, kids can get outside and play with Stitch! For beach adventures, kids can “hang 10” on a Stitch kickboard, life jacket, or pool float. If the forecast calls for rain (or cosmic chaos), Cra-Z-Art is releasing a Stitch-themed slime studio, a Stitch slime figure, and a bucket of bright blue floam. Don’t want a mess? No problem — kids can create their own tropical getaway with Tytan Tiles magnetic tile playset, featuring Stitch and Angel catching a wave.
