A child can learn and play with a Cuddle Book, each of which features interesting facts about the animal it represents and encourages them to learn more about it.

Process for adding logos
Chinese painting is one of the oldest continuous artistic traditions in the world. Chinese symbols and meanings revolve around good fortune, and positive elements. It is the Chinese belief that by filling their lives with lucky objects and images, they increase prosperity and happy circumstances.
Combination of both of these dominant traditions became an idea to make travelers aware of some of the important and positive things about Chinese culture.
The symbols were painted with Chinese brush-strokes and were used on lids of the containers of the food tray. Meaning of each symbol was added underneath the containers.
