Teddy Mountain and Encantos Media Studios Partner on Global Merchandising Agreement for Canticos
Teddy Mountain LLC., one of the world’s largest
wholesale supplier of DIY (do-it-yourself) plush products, and Encantos Media Studios,
PBC, creator of the #1 bilingual preschool brand Canticos™, are partnering on a global
merchandising agreement for both fully stuffed and DIY Canticos™ plush products.
With a collection of some of the most beloved Spanish-language nursery rhymes,
Canticos™ celebrates Latino culture by bringing songs such as “Los Pollitos”, “Sol
Solecito” and “Pin Pon” to life through award-winning bilingual children’s books,
interactive apps and sing-along videos.
Teddy Mountain will make Canticos™, Chickies/Los Pollitos plush toys available
direct-to-consumers at mass market and specialty retailers in 2025. Teddy Mountain
will also showcase the plush products to its wholesalers through its expansive
distribution network in North America, UK, EU, and The Emirates as well as in Latin
America. Working in collaboration with Canticos’™ licensing agency Excel Branding
Group, this agreement aims to bring to life the three Chickies, Ricky, Kiki, and Nicky, so
that families can enjoy an immersive experience with their Canticos plush chickie by
their side as little ones learn, play and grow through storytelling.
This agreement marks another milestone in Teddy Mountain’s recently launched
initiative to license and distribute original IP from valued third-party partners.
“Our company culture and shared values are centered around making a meaningful
difference. We are excited to partner with educational, ethical, and values-driven media
and publishing companies that share our vision”, said Pat Shirkey, President of Teddy
Mountain. “Together, Canticos™ and Teddy Mountain’s customers will create purposeful
connections, uniting shared values through broadcasts that feature their own beloved
Canticos™ characters.”
“Canticos™ brings joy, culture, and learning to Latino families in a fun and engaging
way across screens and beyond, and fans have been demanding their plushies!” said
Susie Jaramillo, co-founder and CEO of Encantos and creator of Canticos. “Teddy
Mountain is a pioneer in developing innovative, interactive toys and is dedicated to
making a difference, something that resonates with our values. This partnership will
further expand the appeal of our adorable characters and the charming world of
Canticos™ all over the world.”
