Two toys that are always fun no matter what: pop-up tents and plush pets — and the geniuses over at Jay at Play just fused the two together with HideAway Pets.

The HideAway Pets collection includes seven different soft and furry friends, including a puppy, kitty, shark, and unicorn. each plush features a zipper at the back that opens to reveal a pop-up tent hiding inside.

Each HideAway Pet’s pop-up tent features colors and graphics that match the theme of the pet itself. In addition to the four core animals, there are also three themed tent-and-pet combos, including a fire station with a pretend dalmatian dog, a hospital with a plush yellow duck, and a police station with a german shepherd dog plush.

When kids play, the play tent door closes with a velcro strap and strings to tie the flap up. There is also an opening in the back for dual-sided play or to add on a tunnel (not included). These are great for nap time, and the plush pet can also double as a little pillow. It is an excellent product for grandparents to have on hand for when the grandchildren visit, or to use as a reading nook.

Once kids finish playing, grownups can easily fold the tent and place it back inside the plush pal for portability or storage. However you use these pop-up tents, they will bring a lot of smiles and hugs!
