My Pillow Pets {Review & Giveaway}

We love Pillow Pets! Some of you may remember that my first blog giveaway win was a Pillow Pet, and I liked it so much I wrote a review about it. Rylie still sleeps with her Pillow Pet every night!

Just in case you don't know what Pillow Pets are, they are plush folding stuffed animals. If you close the strap around their belly you have a friendly, comforting pet. Open the strap and the pet becomes a comfortable pillow! Pillow pets are great for children of all ages!

We were recently given the opportunity to review another Pillow Pet. We received the Snuggly Puppy for Bryce. As expected, the Snuggly Puppy is super soft, and absolutely adorable!



Rylie saw it first and couldn't wait to show her brother his new friend. She tried to show him how to lay down on it, and he didn't quite get it at first. He was so funny and just kept bending over and putting his head on it. It was so cute!

After a few minutes of trying to get Bryce to lay down on it, Rylie got her Comfy Panda Pillow Pet and brought it in his room. She laid down on hers, and then he followed along. They had so much fun!

I think Bryce really likes his new plush friend! He even had to bend over and give the Snuggly Puppy a goodnight hug and kiss before he went to bed. Awwwwww.

Most of you are probably familiar with these great Pillow Pets, but did you know that Pillow Pets also makes other products such as backpacks, blankets and hats? They also recently released two games that we received along with our Snuggly Puppy.

We haven't played the games yet, but I'm really excited to play these with Rylie! These games are actually her first board games, and what better way to introduce her to board games than with games based on these adorable plush friends?

Here is some information from the press release that introduced these new games:

One of the nation’s hottest holiday toy companies, Pillow Pets™, has released two new children’s games just in time for Christmas. Pillow Pets Dreamland™ Adventure Game and Pillow Pets Dreamland™ Matching Game both bring the popular plush folding Pillow Pets into consumers’ homes in an interactive, educational, and fun way.

In Pillow Pets Dreamland™ Adventure Game, players set sail on an exciting journey through seven continents of the world to reach Pillow Pets Dreamland. Spin a colorful wheel to travel along a vibrant pathway filled with exciting adventures, adorable animals, and, yes, even a few pitfalls. The first player to collect at least four Pillow Pets Animal Cards and reach the enchanted Pillow Pets Dreamland wins the game. This game is designed for ages three and older and for two to four players. It retails for approximately $20.

Pillow Pets fans will enjoy hours of fun as they match the “pillow” to the “pet” in Pillow Pets Dreamland™ Matching Game. Honing memory skills and focus, players compete to collect matches amongst 30 “pets” including Ms. Ladybug, Cozy Cow, Friendly Frog, and Silly Monkey, and their corresponding “pillows”. The player with the most “pillow and pet” matches wins. Recommended for ages three and older, Pillow Pets Dreamland™ Matching Game is for one to four players and retails for approximately $10.
