Snuggle Time Toys Review

Pillow Pets are still a huge deal in our house! Our granddaughter hasn’t gone a day in the past couple of years without loving her Purple Fluffy Bunny, or napping with her Patriotic Pup. Now thanks to Snuggle Time Toys, she has a couple of new ways to enjoy them. The Snuggle Time Toy product line includes Petjamas (Pajamas for your favorite stuffed toys), Snugglebags (Mini sleeping bags for your favorite plush companions) and even Petjamas Minis (Pint-sized PJs for smaller plush pillow toys). If there is one thing this grandma can’t get enough of – it’s snuggle time with my granddaughter, and these toys just make it more fun. Lately a few of her dolls and pets have been sharing a Snugglebag during the day, but come night time it’s all serious business as her purple pets take top priority as they get ready for bed.

Snuggle Time Toys are simply adorable. Adding the handle to the Petjamas was a great idea. Becca is always on the go and using it often. She likes Snuggle Time Toys because they brought new life to some of her favorite toys. We like them because they seem to have a long durable life. I’ve washed the Petjamas at least four times already, and they still looks great. Fitting several of her stuffed animals, both of these products are getting a lot of use and holding up nicely.

Petjamas

Designed to fit standard-shaped, 18-inch Pillow PetsTM as well as other stuffed toys, Petjamas are interchangeable, durable and easy to clean. These soft covers function as pillowcases, fun clothing or helpful carrying cases with grab-and-go handles and pockets for storing important belongings. Available in three different fabrics—Fluffy, Knobby and Quilty—Petjamas come in a variety of fun colors such as Banana Creme Squeeze, Chocolate Cuddle Cake, Plush Plum Purple, Squishalicious Pear, Blueberry Muffin, Pink Princess Plush, Strawberry Shortcake, and Black Licorice Twist.

Snugglebags

Snugglebags act as perfect slipcovers for children’s favorite stuffed toys and comfortably fit a variety of shapes and sizes, including Pillow PetsTM. Available in Midnight Snack (blue and orange) or Dreamsicle (pink and purple), Snugglebags are cushy and convertible, keeping plush toys ultra clean and cozy for bedtime stories or slumber parties.

With so many varieties to chose from, Snuggle Time Toys make a great gift choice.

Go here to learn more about Snuggle time as a company and here to shop.

Recommended for ages 3 and up, both Petjamas and Snugglebags are available online in the SnuggleTime store at http://www.snuggletimetoys.com just in time for holiday gift-giving. Petjamas retail for $9.99 and Snugglebags for $12.99.

VTech MobiGo Touch Learning System Review

Designed for children ages 3-8 the Vtech – MobiGo Touch Learning System makes a great last minute gift idea!

With the VTech MobiGo Touch Learning System, kids have fun new ways to learn right at their fingertips. Thanks to great touch screen games that require players to use their fingers in ways that mimic real life motions, kids will feel like they’re part of the action. The touch-activated screen and QWERTY slide-out keyboard look and work just like those on grown-up gadgets to help kids challenge their minds and learn valuable lessons about numbers, counting, letters, spelling, problem solving, music and more.

  • Portable handheld gaming system lets kids enjoy learning on the go (perfect for holiday travel)
  • Touch screen technology introduces kids to a new way to play and follows the hottest trend in gaming today
  • Slide-out QWERTY keyboard adds a stylish touch and gives kids a chance to familiarize themselves with a keyboard layout
  • Sturdy, kid-tough design and colorful appearance

We have been a fan of VTech toys since or girls were toddlers. Now that they are getting older and more tech savvy I’m thrilled to see how VTech has grown with them. The newest to Becca (4), is the VTech MobiGo. Easy to take along anywhere and with a variety of fun games, it’s become a fast favorite. We love knowing she is doing more than just having fun with it, she’s also learning. That is one combination we can always count on when it comes to VTech.

We found the MobiGo Touch to be easy and very fun to use. It has a lot of features that I was concerned would be too compacted for a four year old but Becca was fast to prove me wrong. I see her enjoying the slide-out keyboard much than I expected. The MobiGo has fast become the toy we never leave the house with out. It even fits in my purse or laptop case so we can “work” together while on the go. I highly recommend the VTech MobiGo Touch Learning System for children ages 3-8.
