80-gram pouches combining learning cookies (numbers/letters) with a mini collectible (dinosaur figure or pull-back vehicle). A proven “grab-and-smile” SKU for kids’ aisles, convenience, toy-adjacent displays, and seasonal bundles.

What it is
Cookie & Dino (80g): number-shaped cookies + a dinosaur mini figure. Designed as a “learn & play” treat with collectible appeal.
Cookie & Heavy Equipment (80g): number-shaped cookies + a pull-back construction vehicle. “Snack + toy” in one easy pouch.
Both SKUs are part of the Cookie& series (incl. the earlier Cookie&Car alphabet edition). The series was launched in Korea at CU convenience stores with a 3,700 KRW MSRP and positioned for the 2–7 age band.
Supply chain note (for buyers): current Korean listings indicate the cookie component and toy insert come from Guangdong Tianya Food with JUNDA TOYS (importer: Lam International), which is typical for mixed food/toy SKUs. We validate factory slots and compliance per order.

Why it sells (retail & online)
1. Built-in unboxing moment – every pouch includes a surprise mini. That’s repeat-purchase fuel for kids and gift-givers.
2. Educational angle – numbers/letters add “justifiable fun” for parents and teachers.
3. Low price / high delight – sub-$4 MSRP in Korea proved out velocity at convenience checkout. Easy to translate into bundle promos (2+1, BOGO, party packs).
4. Cross-merch potential – lives in candy, seasonal, or toy endcaps. Works as reward items, birthday goodie-bags, or museum/gift-shop novelties.

Private label & customization options
If you love the concept (snack + collectible) but need your brand/IP:
Packaging: custom art for pouch & display box.
Insert: choose dino series, construction, or brandable minis (colorway, sculpt tweaks).
Cookie shapes: numbers vs. alphabet; stamped motifs; flavor profile and sweetness target by market.
Retail programs: 2-pack gift sleeves, party box (6–10 pouches), or seasonal art.
Typical MOQs (indicative): 10k–30k pouches per flavor/print; 10k+ toy inserts per variant. We can also start with a One-Box Pilot (our low-MOQ trial run) to test packaging and velocity before scaling.

Use cases & display ideas
Checkout candy: peg or gravity bin.
Toy + candy endcap: cross-category “Play & Snack” header.
Party / reward packs: 6–12 unit sleeves for birthdays, school rewards, camp stores.
