Have you heard of Yoo Hoo and Friends? I first heard of these online, but have seen them in person in malls in my area, inside of Claire’s stores. They are adorable stuffed animals that are attractive to children. Aren’t most stuffed animals though? What makes yoo hoo and friends special is they represent animals from real life, and can be used as educational tools, to teach your children about animals that they probably haven’t heard of – some that maybe you hadn’t heard of either. I was sent two yoo hoo and friends toys for review. The first was The 8 inch Beaver. He’s super cute, in pink and purple. Hehe. He makes a silly sound when his belly is squeezed. I assumed he would make a beaver sound but he doesn’t it’s just a fun noise. My niece who is 3 and loves all animals and creatures really liked this guy, but when I told her he was a beaver she asked what a beaver was, so then we showed her a photo of a beaver online and explained it to her. She’s only 3 so it only held her interest for a few minutes, but I still think it’s neat to at least introduce her to animals that she hasn’t been able to see in person or hear about.

I was also sent a 5 inch jaban rhino. He’s really cute too! He’s purple with green. He also makes a silly noise when his belly is squeezed. Ava liked him also and we talked about rhino’s. Both toys are very very soft and have held up well to play so far.
