CuddleUppets are colorful kid-sized blankets (28 inches by 39 inches) with hands and feet at the corners and a tail and a wonderfully expressive puppet-head at opposite ends. A child's imagination is naturally robust, but needs to be encouraged and kept alive through ongoing creative play. That's where CuddleUppets come in. CuddleUppets combines, brilliantly, two staples of childhood - the soft blanket, a portable source of comfort and confidence-giving reassurance, and the Imaginary Friend, a perpetual resource for companionship and self-expression. Kids will slide a hand effortlessly into the soft, flexible CuddleUppets' puppet head, unleashing a surprising degree of expressiveness. Self-expression and exploration are two major elements of healthy emotional development, integrally tied to achieving full intellectual potential. Just as important, kids have an immense amount of fun playing with CuddleUppets, both during alone time and interactively with others. CuddleUppets currently come in 8 different varieties - Pink Poodle, Purple Monkey, Yellow Puppy, Green Crocodile, Blue Elephant, Brown Bear, Pink Ladybug, and Magic Unicorn. (Toy Fair Booth #1881)
