In today’s world, by the time a child is 5 years old the stuffies are replaced by computers.
We persisted and continued to sell Canned Critters and we are happy to report that the trend has come full circle. In today’s busy world, the Canned Critters are a simple gift for adults. Kids still have the iphones and computers but it would appear that today’s parents are in search of and have rediscovered the simple things in life, such as a Canned Critter.
The Canned Critters continue to prosper in today’s market, continuing to spread the word about our wild life friends one can at a time.

After many months of creative work, testing and designing, the initial line of Canned Critters was hatched. Canned Moose, Canned Black Bear and Canned Beaver. They quickly become very popular.
When the Canned Critter labels were created, part of the humor included a statement on each can saying “limited edition of 1 or 8 or 9 million”. Two years ago the 10 millionth Canned Critter was sold.
Today we continue to produce the original Canned Critters and add new ones every year. Helping to spread the word about our wildlife friends as a new generation discovers Canned Critters.
