Beanie Kid’s logo is a very ordinary logo that
says ‘Beanie Kids’ on it. This logo is well known
and is very easy to be recognised. The logo on the
side is the main logo, but there are many other
logos for other types of Beanie Kids.
BK, which is an abbreviation for Beanie Kids, uses the logo on top.
This is the main logo for Beanie Kids but there is an abbreviation
logo version, which says BK on it.
Another one is GBK, an abbreviation for Great Big kids. Great Big
Kids are extra big Beanie Kids. The logo for GBK, says GBK in the
centre.
CK, also an abbreviation for Cuddly Kids, is similar to the GBK logo.
In the middle, the word ‘CK’ is written in the middle and has a
coloured background.
Prediction
Proof:
It said that there are 5 Beanie
Kids being released every month,
so in a few years time, they will
make more than 1300 BKs.
Prediction:
Skansen Company could
create more than 1300
Beanie Kids.
Prediction:
BK could be sold and could be well known
all around the world.
Prediction:
Could be the most popular in it’s
category in Australia for 20 years
Proof:
Sold over 15 million units and it was
the most popular collectible product in
its category within Australia for 15
years. No one can not love Beanie
Kids because they are so cute.
beanie kids
Proof:
Everyone loves it and spends alot of money
on buying them or collecting them. Beanie Kids
have so much fans.
Proof:
More and more fans are requesting
Skansen to make more BK’s with more
different themes, with that, Skansen would
not want the fans to be disappointed, so in
that case, Skansen will create more, for
the fans and lovers of BK.
Proof:
If you don’t agree with this, then your
wrong. With all the reviews, comments,
fans, charity work and all those people who
buy BKs, it will soon be well known from all
around the world.
Proof:
T he status of BK’s sale is extremely well in progress.
Selling Beanie Kids across the world could make Beanie Kids
popularity and sales be much, much more successful. So
Skansen would definitely be thinking of selling BK around
the world because this is a great opportunity for them.

Issue 8 2012
Beanie Kids
This year’s most popular product of Australia
is the cute and cuddly Beanie Kids! And for
15 years! These amazing cute, cuddly and
adorable stuffed animals are fantastic for kids
that loves to hug and play. Beanie Kids have
now reached to the top of the toy chart and is
very popular. From Princesses, to fairies,
Beanie Kids are a creative beanie-stuffed toy.
Beanie Kids were originally made just Beanie
Kids, but now there are Cuddly Kids and Big
Giant Kids. They are now, one of the most
successful selling toys in Australia. To my
point of view, Beanie Kids can reach to the
next level- selling across the world, but I guess they don’t have the time
to think about it. Every year, the Skansen Company releases 5 Beanie
Kids. The negative thing about Beanie Kids is that Beanie Kids can get a
little bit old-fashioned. Skansen is to busy to even create a movie on
Beanie Kids. For one Beanie Kid, it would cost $10- $13. For a big one,
it’s $40 or over. That’s pretty expensive for just one, but it’s worth it. So
get to your nearest news agency and get a Beanie Kid today.

Personal opinion
In my opinion, Beanie Kids will soon be forgotten or gone in the future. On the Beanie Kid’s official website, it said that
most workers at the Skansen Company had retired, so if all retires, there would be no one else to create the Beanie
Kids, unless the Skansen Company recruits more members.
But there is also a chance that Beanie Kids will still be existing, because by recruiting more workers, they can bring out
a whole line of new Beanie Kids. Beanie Kids are collectable toys and there are alot of collectors that would like to
collect the BK set. When collectors starts to collect things, they just want to complete the whole set, so that they can
feel proud and good about it. So by spending money on BKs because they just want to complete the BK collection,
Skansen can make alot of money from it. Then a few years later, the BKs that cannot be found anymore, is very
valuable and rare. So, by keeping your BK in good condition or the original condition, the BK that cannot be bought or
found anymore is very, very valuable because due to it still existing, they make alot of money by selling it. But then
again, Skansen might create different collectible toys instead because it wouldn’t be the same without the old workers.
How to overcome an issue Beanie
Kids has or wil face
Beanie kids are the many popular collectable creatures that can face many threats such as: another
company can create an even popular collectable, gets old fashion and kids can get addicted to video games.
To overcome these issues, I would sell beanie Kids around the world, make movies about BK and create video
games. This way, children can play, watch and hug BKs everyday. BKs can become old fashioned and boring.
Most kids like to play video games, but not many like to play dolls or toys. To make BK more popular, they
should create themed Beanie Kids that most kids would like nowadays. for example: There are many people
who like Kpop like my friend Nhi. If they design singers or bands to their collection of Beanie Kids, lots of
kids our age would love to buy it. For little kids, they like cute and cuddly things, so just make the Beanie
Kid’s design more cute and adorable.
How are Beanie Kids made?
T his is a procedure on how the BK
designers create a Beanie Kid.
A B C D E F G H J K L M N O P
Q R S T U V W X Y Z
step 1
Beanie Kid Designers draw inspiration from the
Beanie Master. They meet together and discuss the
latest designs. The designers then cross check with
the Beanie Master to ensure that they are no other
Beanie Kids with the same design.
Q R S T U V W X Y Z
step 2
Beanie Kid Designers have to choose the correct
colours, fabrics to suit the new design and
accessories such as glitter, sequence etc. They use a
computer to organise the colours that they need for
the BK.
Q R S T U V W X Y Z
step 3
Beanie Kid Designers finalise all the small details
and then send the design to the factory to be
manufactured. The BK is then ready to be
photographed and placed in store.
How to choose safe toys:
Stuffed
toys
are
cute
and
soft,
but
there
can
be
many
hazards
or
dangers
to
it.
Kids
at
the
age
of
8
and
up,
would
not
have
much
problem
with
playing
stuffed
toys
but
little
kids
or
children
can
have
different
problems
and
dangers.
There
are
varieties
of
small
parts
on
the
stuffed
toys
such
as
the
eyes
or
the
nose.
Sharp,
hard
or
materials
that
can
fall
off
easily
can
create
chocking
hazard.
These
are
some
of
the
things
you
would
need
to
check
and
do
to
choose
a
safe
toy.
*Ensure that there are no small parts that can easily
fall off and become trapped in an child’s throat.
*A stuffed toy’s filling should be clean and free of
object- If possible, feel/ or squish the toy for any
sharp objects.
*Toys made from foam my cause a choking danger if
a child bites it.
*Only buy toys that are bean-bag style, only if the
seams or materials will not tear- Polystyrene beads
are a certain hazardous as children might breathe in
them.
*Remember to check the seams carefully to secure the
seams. Long and loose pieces of thread on a stuffed
toy can cause choking or strangling.
