I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
With 3 kids at home I am always on the lookout for the next big hit toy. My girls especially love toys that are new, exciting and unique. A team of animators and designers from Silicon Valley have come up with something truly new and exciting ? plush paws, furry heads, long arms and soft torsos that kids build into their own creations! Animoodles are the next BIG thing in toys and launching TODAY on Kickstarter with exclusive discounts and rewards. My girls have already gotten their hands on these plush pals and they are in LOVE!
Introducing Randy Orangutan, Miguel Frog, Hazel Sloth, and Brady Lion from The Wild Jungle Collection, and Iris Unicorn from The Isle of Mythos Collection to make up the first collection.
Each comes boxed with an illustrated character card to get young imaginations daydreaming. Of course one is nice but the more Animoodles you have the more creative combinations are possible and that is what makes these really fun!
Tucked safely inside each plush body part are rare earth magnets that click for a satisfyingly smooth fit.
I always LOVED stuffed animals growing up and my two oldest seem to have the same love for stuffed creatures. My girls will play with these for hours creating elaborate story lines to go with them.
My girls of course prefer to give the animals an extra leg or extra head because that is what is fun and makes them laugh. “Animoodles are so awesome because now I can have a two headed magical friend to play with” is what Big Sis says. Lil Sis on the other hand thinks “Animoodles are so silly…just like me!”
As their Kickstarter page explains, ?All parts can rotate 360?, so you can pose Animoodles any way you want to! You can make Randy Orangutan wave or Miguel Frog tilt his head sassily to the side.? When kids are done mixing and matching body parts Animoodles make wonderful cuddle buddies.
Dedicated to being kid-driven, they?ve tested Animoodles with kids and their parents across the country to perfect their designs. ?Stuffed animals have always played an important role in developing emotional and relational skills,? says Marissa Louie. ?But, building sets have traditionally been better at developing spatial awareness and problem solving skills. Because all these skills are important, we?re combining the best of both worlds. We hope to enable kids to see themselves as little makers, and to understand the value of our differences?how unique parts can come together to build something amazing.?
With Early Bird incentives from $44 for a 2 set to $99 for the complete 5 set, parents can get in on this adorable new toy right from the beginning. Now kids can build with their Animoodles and enjoy their new plush toys in a different way every time!
