Never Lose Pio When You Put a Smart Tracker in His Pocket!

Pio has a convenient pocket to stow a smart tracker (like an AirTag®) so you won't lose your new favorite travel companion on the trail!

Just slip the tracker inside of Pio's backpack and you'll be ready to go!

(Tracker not included. AirTag® is a registered trademark of Apple Inc. and is not affiliated with Pio the Pioneering Penguin.)

Wash and He's Ready to Go!

Dropped Pio on the trail? Brushing him off might do the trick. If Pio needs a deeper clean, soak Pio in cold water, add your gentle detergent, and wash him by hand. Once cleaned, rinse him off until the water is clear and air dry! Fluff him up to help the organic cotton fibers regain their shape and you are good to go!

You can also put Pio back in the cotton bag he came with (a mesh bag or a pillow case will also work) and wash on cold in a gentle cycle with light gentle detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and air dry, or tumble dry on low heat to keep him fluffy and cuddly.

He's Organic, He's Local, and He's Oh So Squishable!

Pio is made completely out of organic cotton. This means it takes less water to process than conventionally-produced cotton and no pesticides that contaminate the Earth were used in the production of Pio.

Where many other plush toys are made with polyester filling that sheds microplastics and uses more energy to process, Pio is made from renewable materials that are better for the planet and for the friends Pio adventures with.

He is also Made in the USA (with imported materials), which means that shipping Pio is easier on the environment! Pio is also stitched durably, even with his backpack and sleeping bag! This means you can squish him and he won't tear or completely deform, which is perfect for adventures, cuddles, and friendship!

Made with the World in Mind

Let's peel back the curtain a bit. Pio's price may be higher than some other plush toys, but there's a good reason!

Pio is made from Earth- and people-conscious materials, including:

  • Organic cotton that requires less water and energy to produce than conventionally sourced cotton.
  • That same organic cotton is grown without pesticides, which are harmful to both the planet and the hardworking people who grow the cotton.
  • No polyester means no risk for microplastics in your cuddly penguin plush! Pio being made completely of cotton also means that he’s biodegradable and kinder to the Earth.
  • Non-toxic pigments, ensuring the safety of the workers who bring this adorable penguin to life.

Pio is also proudly Made in the USA (with imported materials), meaning Pio supports jobs here at home and lowers the need for overseas shipping, cutting down on overall shipping emissions.

But that’s not all, Pio is on a mission to give back! We’re proud to partner with 1% for the Planet and donate a portion of our revenue to support environmental causes and improve accessibility to the outdoors for everyone.

By bringing Pio into your home, you’re not just getting a cuddly friend; you’re supporting a brighter, greener future for all. Thank you for being part of this adventure with us!
