Since John works out of state the majority of the time, I am on my own with these two little guys.  If you have ever tried to pack for a trip with 2 little kids, you can understand where I’m coming from when I say it’s a lot of work.  Packing for two little ones that can’t help all by yourself is a very daunting task.  We go to the cabin quite a bit, so anything that makes my life easier and means less to pack is something I definitely want to know about.

Maggie, like any 2 year old, wants to help.  She likes to carry her own things, but has some very little arms.  Zoobies Blanket Pets are perfect for her.  She can bring her own pillow, blanket, stuffed animal, and carry it herself.  A 3 in 1 toy.  With 21 different animals to choose from, your child can get their favorite animal.  We let Maggie pick out what she wanted, and went with whatever she picked twice first, which happened to be Lilly the Ladybug.  I was hoping she would pick the frog because it is so cute!

Each Blanket Pet is made with a microbead stuffed head and is very squishy and fun.  Maggie loves the feel of it and touches it a lot during her sleep.  They are made with polyester fiber fill that is made from recycled plastic bottles (can we say eco friendly?) and are nice and big.  The blanket is 44″ x 34″.  Maggie sleeps in a toddler bed, and it fits so great on her bed.  She likes to have the blankets tucked around her shoulders and feet, so it’s nice that this one is big enough to do so.  The blanket unzips completely from the pillow, or you can leave it attached.  When you want it attached or stuffed in the pillow again, it only takes a few seconds. 

There are two hook and loop velcro tabs on the bottom of the Blanket Pet to turn it into the animal shape for your little one to play with or to make it easy for your little one to carry around.

Zoobies carries more than just Blanket Pets.  You can get Animal Jam Sidekix, Blanket Babies, Storytime Pals and Book Buddies, Duffel Dogs, Slumber Pets, and their newest addition, Glow Bugs ( I so want one of these – for the kids of course).

Zoobies was created by 2 young brothers, Reid and JC,  who wanted to invent something fun, innovative and functional.  Being from a family of 9 kids, they knew the value of something that can be consolidated so it doesn’t take up so much space.   Striving to create products that are convenient, convertible and comfortable, the Zoobies line of products are sure to be a hit with kids and moms alike!

Zoobies make a great gift for the little one in your life and we love our Lilly the Ladybug.
