Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas: YooHoo & Friends

My girls are so in love with YooHoo & Friends stuffed animals. With more than 50 styles in the line, you’ll see why boys and girls (geared to ages 5-12) are obsessed with the lovable line of fun plush characters.

Each of the girls received a pet and both sleep with them nightly. Sam received the yellow YooHoo and Sarah received the pink Easter YooHoo that giggles. They received the 5″ animals and they are absolutely adorable. I love how when you squeeze them they make a super cute sound.

There are a variety of sizes and themes (i.e.: Valentine’s, Spring/Easter, Halloween, Holidays, Birthdays, Graduation) with a design for just about anyone. Aurora will introduce many new YooHoo & Friends throughout next year but look for the Beaver, Yellow Tiger, Jaban Rhinoceros and Japanese Macque (five and eight inches) to kick off 2010 introductions. They join the Scarlet Macaw, Barbary Lion, Iberian Lynx, Platypus and a host of other characters.

Even better, YooHoo & Friends teach kids about endangered species from around the globe. There’s a corresponding free, interactive web site (no annoying activation codes required) that teaches about the animals (on which the YooHoo & Friends line of characters are based) in their natural habitats; as well as a host of games, desktop wallpapers, coloring sheets and more — the web site makes learning about these animals engaging and fun. Each plush piece makes a fun sound when squeezed.

YooHoo & Friends are a great gift any time of year for parents and grandparents to give their loved ones.
