Smooshies Giveaway!

July 13, 2009 by Caryn

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by.  The winner is Janet. Congrats!  And I LOVED all the names you suggested.  Thank you!  My son still likes to call him “Ugly”

I have to start by saying my husband can be a clown sometimes.  He likes to joke a ton and it’s one of the many things I love about him.  Last week, we received a fun little package from One2One. It contained a Smooshie and an extra set of parts.  Perhaps I should start by explaining what a Smooshie is. It’s an adorably soft plush toy with interchangeable arms, legs, etc.  So I opened up the package and asked my husband what he thought.  He looked at it and looked at me and said that it was ugly in a cute way.  You know how blunt men can be.  Well, my son heard this…and thought that the Smooshie was named Ugly.  So, now all he wants to do is play with “Ugly.”  Sigh…  Can we rename him?  Please?

WT13779We received the Small Hourglass Smooshie Kit to review.  It’s actually a lot of fun.  My son loves when we interchange the various arms and legs on him (is it a him?).  He puts arms where legs should go and vice versa.   Because Smooshies use Velcro to attach, it’s relatively easy for my son to take the pieces on and off. Not only is it a nice way to teach my son colors, it starts the process of encouraging creativity.  As a believer in open-ended toys, I think this toy makes a wonderful addition to his collection.  Honestly…he has a number of stuffed animals that he doesn’t play with.  The only stuffed animal he has any attachment to is his “night night bear”(let’s hope we never lose it).  He actually plays with his Smooshie.

Smooshies have won a number of toy awards and are hailed by parents as fun and educational.  I echo the sentiment!  Smooshies kits are available for purchase at select Michaels and JoAnn stores for $9.99 (very affordable).

Win It! One of you will win a Smooshie Kit!  Simply head on over to the site and take a look around.  Come back here and leave me a comment with your favorite (besides the one I reviewed please).  Comments will close on July 28, 2009 at 10 PM PST.  One comment per person, please (unless you do the extra credit).

    I love the Small Smooshie Kit Round- so cute! How fun to be able to mix and match to make each smooshie unique.

    21 Rachel on July 14th, 2009 12:16 pm

    Poor Ugly:) That is such a funny name, but I can see how you would want to change it. One suggestion would be to name it Ugly Bob or Ugly Templeton or something then hope that you can eventually just call it Bob or Templeton. Or you can all put names in a hat (including Ugly) then draw a name out (hopefully not Ugly) and decide that that is the name. Good luck!

    22 Colleen on July 14th, 2009 12:27 pm
