Day 4: Aurora Plush Animals Review & Giveaway

You may already be familiar with Aurora plush toys from our Holiday Gift Guide.  I was introduced to Aurora this summer when my daughter Liberty received a "Yoohoo & Friends" birthday animal for her 1st birthday.  She was completely enthralled by it, especially because it played the tune "Happy Birthday" (which ended up being one of the first songs she learned how to "sing").  A few weeks later, I found myself running through downtown Boston in the dark trying to find it, since it had apparently fallen out of the stroller at some unknown point.  We almost missed our train out of the city, but I did find it on the sidewalk several streets back!

Aurora sent me several different plush toys to review, much to the delight of my children!   The first item was the Yoohoo 70s Love animal from the "Retro" Yoohoo & Friends line.  I really love the Yoohoo animals because they're so strangely adorable with their enomrous eyes.  The 70s Love animal plays a kissing sound when squeezed which is really cute.  The "Retro" line also includes a Punk Rocker, Pop Singer, Vegas, Flash Dancer, British Rocker and Disco Dancer.
 

The Dreamy Eyes line is absolutely precious!  The animals are bean-filled and so soft and cuddly.  The Dreamy Eyes animals are available in 13 brand new styles include tiger, pony, pig, cow, lion, elephant, monkey, giraffe, cat, pug, Chihuahua, frog and lamb.

 Cheeky "BFF" Carmen and Cheeky "Wrangler" Charlie are cute monkeys with velcro hands for easy hanging. Three newer styles in the line include Cheeky Charlie Rock Star, Cheeky Charlie Surfer, and Cheeky Charlie Zoo Keeper.

The Puppet Paws are from a new line available in White Tiger, Leopard, Black Panther, Bengal Tiger, Polar Bear and Lion.  The entire plush paw is soft, including the claws.  My son had a blast playing with the leapard paw! (BTW - his lips are blue from a Ring Pop.)

The Fancy Pals line is adorable, featuring a purse/pet carrier and plush animal.   My daughter Liberty became quite attached to the pink purse and purple kitty and kept referring to it as "pwetty"!  She loves carrying it around on her little arm.  Already a fashionista!  The Fancy Pals carriers are available in a variety of designs including poodle, pony, and leopard.
