Back-to-School Giveaway: Smooshies Plush Toys

by

Tune in all week for hot Back-To-School Giveaways. We’ve got some great prizes for the kids, with a couple of special prizes to pamper mom!!! Look for a new 48-hour giveaway each morning and each afternoon, and be sure to check out all of the current giveaways for other great prizes!

Today’s giveaway is especially for all the younger siblings who stand at the window longingly watching their big brothers and sisters head off to school!

Aren’t these fuzzy little guys just about the cutest thing ever? Smooshies are basically a fuzzy pillow with velcro arms, legs, features, hair, etc. that allow your child to express their creativity. You can find extra parts to increase the combinations at Michael’s and Joann Fabric’s.

I don’t know which of my kids was more enthralled with the Smooshie. My youngest just loves to snuggle and cuddle with it. But he’s also enjoying ripping off random body parts and waving them around with delight. Note: Smooshies are intended for kids ages 3 and older, but I let me little guy give it a whirl while closely supervised.

The older kids got a little creative and got a kick out of seeing what “kooky creation” they could come up with by putting body parts in unusual places. I didn’t anticipate my oldest showing much interest, but even he surprised me and decided to get in on the fun.

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a complete Smooshies kit, ready to be snuggled and played with!

    I used to have my friends and I pool our barbies and auction them off piece by piece before playing. It was a way for me to get to play with whatever cool accessories they had that I didn’t.

    My favorite was a stuffed leapord I named Bumblebee. He is now in my daughter’s basket of stuffed animals.

  3. Claudine

    My favorite toy was a cabbage patch kid, I dont have it anymore, I think the dog might have gotten to it.

  9. Aimee

    I think my favorite toys were books (The Sleepy Puppy in particular). Those are the things I’m still happy to have, the books from my childhood.

    I had a baby doll that my great-aunt gave me the day after I was born. I kept calling her “Dolly”, and my mom jokingly tacked on “Parton”. So Dolly Parton she was, and still is!

  12. Makelle

    Like most girls out there I loved Barbies and Cabbage Patch kids and yes my daughter has both and loves them too, it makes me smile when I see her playing with the sames things I did so many years ago.

  23. Sascha

    My favorite toys as a child was the Sweet Secrets stuff! They apparently made a come back, but really not the same as they used to be. Something they do have that I also had is the My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake stuffs.

  29. Erin

    My son recently started playing with Mr. Potato Head, and he’s also into his “lovies.” This looks like the best of both worlds!

    I loved Cabbage Patch dolls! I had a few & loved getting new clothes for them. Both of my boys have their own “babies” as well (although my 9 year old would never admit that!).
