If you haven’t yet heard about CuddleUppets, the soft, cuddly blankets with a cute plush puppet head, there is a very good chance that your child already has. I had first learned about the half-blanket, half-toys when I received an email about them; however, when I mentioned them to my fiance, he immediately knew what I was talking about. It turns out that my two stepdaughters have been coveting CuddleUppets since they first saw the commercial on television advertising them.

CuddleUppets come in six fun characters and styles: Pink Poodle, Brown Bear, Purple Monkey, Yellow Puppy, Green Crocodile, and Blue Elephant. We received a Green Crocodile CuddleUppet, and when my stepdaughters walked into the house and saw him sitting on the kitchen table, excited yelling, giggling, and happy dances immediately ensued. Honestly, I was surprised with just how excited they were about the CuddleUppet. I know that my adult brain works in a very different way than their kid brains, but considering my youngest stepdaughter is 6 and my oldest will be 8 this month, I just didn’t think the interest would be there. I’m glad that I was wrong and that not only was the interest there, but they were downright ecstatic about having one. Seeing them so excited and happy about it was pretty great, and it has entertained them off and on since the day it arrived.

The blanket is 28″x39″ and is made of a fleece material, so it is incredibly soft and can easily keep you warm on a chilly night. CuddleUppets will not only provide countless hours of fun and a bedtime companion for your child, but they also make great travel companions, and can be easily washed by throwing it in the washing machine.

CuddleUppets are available exclusively on the CuddleUppets website and are $19.99 each or $16.99 when you purchase a second one. You can also keep up with everything CuddleUppets by following them on Twitter and “liking” them on Facebook.

I received a CuddleUppet for review. No other compensation was received, and opinions are my own.
