Material is soft, stretchy, and not too thick. Definitely recommend!" - Brigette Tingle

Sesame Street Zingo! So Fun They Won't Even Notice They're Learning To Read
Review: "This is a really fun game for the whole family! There are multiple, double sided zingo cards to choose from. You take turns sliding the zingo Cookie Monster to reveal picture tokens & match them to your card. The tokens have both a picture and a label, allowing children to start building their vocabulary. It’s very simple to slide the tokens back into the Cookie Monster slots, but you do need to make sure they are facing the correct way (one side has a curved edge and they need to all stack in the same way). Great for families with multiple aged children!" - Ashley

Weighted Stuffed Brown Bear That Gives You All The Cuddle Vibes
Review: "This bear is HUGE! The weight in this weighted animal is very different than most - all of the weight is in the limbs. His arms feel amazing wrapped around your neck. He has helped me sleep for several months now. His fur is luxuriously plush and encourages the desire to cuddle. I can say after trying multiple different varieties of weighted plush animals , he is different and works in an amazing way." - Jlfreese
