Basic Fun! will unveil a collection of Baby Shark Playhut sets at Toy Fair New York.
Under license from Pinkfong, the new line of Baby Shark-themed indoor and outdoor play structures will feature Playhut’s EZ Twist design system for instant setup and convenient foldaway storage. The lightweight popup environments include playhouses, tents, tunnels and games and will feature Baby Shark, Mommy Shark, Daddy Shark, and more. In addition to the Classic Cube and Hide N Play, the large multi-structure Explore 4 Fun set has two three-foot tunnels and a play tent featuring Playhut’s patented EZ TwistT frame, as well as multiple crawl-through doors and a flap that can be rolled up and tied back. The line is expected to hit retail this fall.
