Meet Wayne
Wayne is a graceful wetland traveler who loves wide skies, quiet waters, and long journeys. Whooping cranes are known for their incredible migrations - traveling thousands of miles each year - but their wetlands need protection for them to survive.
Wayne was created to help kids learn about patience, resilience, and caring for the places animals call home.
A portion of every Wayne purchase is donated to organizations working to protect whooping cranes and the wetlands they depend on. It’s a small act that supports real conservation work across North America.
We believe kids learn responsibility by caring for living things both near and far.

Our Whooping Crane Beneficiary
Each purchase of Wayne helps Snugglebug adopt members of the Whooping Crane flock and donate towards sponsorship of the cranes' needs, such as vet care, enrichment, and safekeeping through accredited organizations.
I love Wayne the Whooping Crane, love that I had the opportunity to purchase him, to be a part of your conservation effort and to contribute just a little bit to help alleviate some of the pain and damage caused by the terrible recent river flood in Texas. As a resident living on the west coast of Florida, I can identify in a much smaller, yet similar way to this tragedy, as we lost our home during the 100 year flood and to a fire as well here during Hurricanes Helene and Milton last year. I understand the pain.and the loss that never ends. Wayne is beautifully made, and the information card that came with him is a great addition for kids of all ages to learn about this wonderful creature. Thank you!
