Scrat, Ice Age’s saber-toothed squirrel that we all know and love, began his pursuit for the elusive acorn 20 years ago. So in honor of the film’s 20th anniversary—and the fact that today, October 22, is National Nut Day—rather than collecting acorns, we’ve collected five cool ways to celebrate all things Ice Age below.
1. Shop the Ice Age product collection
The Ice Age Collector Plush Set includes four furry friends: Scrat the saber-toothed squirrel, Diego the saber-toothed tiger, Sid the sloth, and Buck the weasel.
You can also join the Paleolithic fun with the Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild Figure Set. These seven unconventional friends will make a bold display or fill hours with imaginative roleplay.
For all the acorn enthusiasts, interact with Scrat by giving and taking away his beloved acorn with the Ice Age Goin Nuts Scrat Plush. Scrat sways and chirps excitedly when passed his acorn—and he voices enthusiastic protest when the acorn is taken away.
The Baby Scrat Plush with Sound Effects is a cute new addition—and if you press Baby Scrat’s belly, you can hear sweet sounds and chitters.
Story time is also play time with the Ice Age My Busy Book, an engaging book and toy in one activity kit!
2. Join in the Ice Age fun on social
Search the hashtags #PassTheScrat and #IceAge20th on TikTok to join in the fun on National Nut Day! Fans can #PasstheScrat by making a video catching the plush and passing it along to the next person. The Scrat plush featured in the TikTok, along with other Ice Age products, can be purchased here.
