It’s time to begin planning our autumn content! I’m going to be creating content around woodland creatures, so I’m researching books and toys around those themes. See our recent post on woodland keywords for more info and content inspiration.
If you’re in the baby, kids, children, books or toys niches, you likely blog, write, and film content about woodland animals. Let’s find product manufacturers in the plush toys and playsets categories to inspire our future content.
When we research woodland creatures, we also use the word “baby” in front of them to discover more. “Baby squirrel, baby fox,” etc.
This product research will help you find toy brands you (and other influencers) haven’t yet heard of. Don’t forget to use your product research tool of choice to see if you can find out sales frequencies and stats on each product. We can’t list every possible company that makes woodland plush toys, but we’d love to show you a few we’ve discovered.
Combine colors with animal names for a more unique take on product keyword research. For example: brown squirrel, golden squirrel, red fox, white fox, copper copper owl, etc.
Use these keywords in your content to bring in searchers, browsers and shoppers who enjoy autumn themed products.

Autumn Woodlands Products Manufacturers Research

I feel like Apricot Lamb uses really high quality extra soft microplush for their stuffed animals. They also make baby rattles and snuggle blanket toys. Their forest animals include an owl, a fox, a raccoon, bears and ducks.
Aurora World

Bearington makes many woodland plush toys in several lines for babies, toddlers and children.
Bellzi
Bellzi makes sweet plush toys. They have a few forest themed plushies such as a deer, a fox, a hedgehog and a wolf. They also produce a cute red panda, a monkey and a sloth, but I think of those more as rainforest animals than woodland.

The Bunnies by the Bay baby company has just a few woodland creatures in its plush toy lineup: a bear cub, a fox and a moose.

Demdaco manufactures a couple of bear cubs, a fox and a buck. My favorite item from this is this mama fox and baby fox cub set.
