Beanie Boo History (2009-2017)


Beanie Boos have been out since 2009, They are big eyed stuffed animals manufactured by the company Ty, who make world famous 'Beanie Babies'. Beanie Boos are the newest Ty craze and have taken the hearts of many children. Beanie Boos come in all different sizes, Colours and species.

Their names are Bamboo, Bubblegum, Cleo, Coconut, Kiwi, Kooky, Slush and Waddles.

Later in 2009 Ty released the first BeanieBoos in the U.S.A, and other parts of the world! Bubblegum and Cleo were not released in the U.S.A and remained exclusive to the U.K due to copyright issues with 'Aurora Yoohoo and friends'. Their names are Bamboo, Coconut, Kiwi, Kooky, Slush and Waddles.
