LET THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN…
"Between the
excitement of Halloween and the confusion caused by setting our clocks back one
hour as Daylight Savings comes to an end on Sunday the 3rd of
November, children everywhere will be challenged with interruptions to their
nightly bedtime routines. But have no
fear, parents! The Jim Henson Company’s Pajanimals are here to help!
Halloween is a
wonderful opportunity to address nighttime safety measures with children. Safe Kids Worldwide, a global organization dedicated to
preventing injuries in children, offers a number of tips for keeping kids safe
on what could be a dangerous night of the year for children of all ages. Here
are just a few of the SKW safety tips for Halloween:
When selecting a costume, make sure it is the
right size to prevent trips and falls.
Decorate costumes and bags with reflective
tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors. Since masks can
sometimes obstruct a child’s vision, try non-toxic face paint and makeup
whenever possible.
Have kids use glow sticks or flashlights to
help them see and be seen by drivers.
You can give your little goblins their very own Pajanimals
Submarine Flashlight ($12.99
SRP, available on Amazon.com and Walmart.com) to light up the
night as they trick or treat.
After Halloween is over, the flashlight (featuring a
glow-in-the-dark base) can be used to help give your child comfort when
the clocks go back an hour and it nighttime
comes earlier…just press the submarine periscope for lights and sounds. This
fun flashlight features all of your child’s favorite Pajanimals characters.
Ages: 12 months and up.
Pajanamals also
have a fun Halloween “spot the difference” and coloring activity sheet, http://www.sproutonline.com/ printables/pajanimals- halloween-differences. Kids
can use the Pajanimals activity
sheet to spot the differences between the pictures of their Pajanimals friends. And if you are looking for costume ideas, you
can use the activity sheet for Pajanimals costume ideas.
After Halloween,
don’t forget that it is almost Daylight Savings time! On Sunday, November 3,
you and your child can celebrate the end of Daylight Savings time with a
special Pajanimals Pajama
Party, including watching Pajanimals on Sprout
(nightly at 8pm ET) and NBC Kids (Saturdays at 10:30am ET). Sprout will
also be running special on-air promos for Pajanimals throughout the month of November, as well as on SproutOnline.com, in the Sprout newsletter,
Facebook and on Shop Sprout. Visit Shop Sprout to browse the colorful Pajanimals toys, apparel and fun
accessories.
And while we’re
speaking about fun and colorful Pajanimals products, TOMY and Running Press are introducing a number of new Pajanimals
products just in time for the holidays! New Pajanimals toys from TOMY include:
• Under
the Lights Projector ($29.99 SRP, available on Amazon.com, Walmart.com and
Target.com): Projects a cosmic starry light show on the wall and plays
the soothing Lalalullaby song. Lights fade into a rainbow of colors. Choose to
turn music on or off while the lights play.
• Large
Nighttime Plush ($29.99 SRP each, available on Amazon.com and Target.com): Large
soft and cuddly plush with a glowing tummy that softly changes
colors. Press the character’s hand to start the nightlight and
song. Includes auto shut off so your child can fall asleep hugging these
cuddly plush. Available in Cowbella and Squacky.
• Pajanimals Pals ($12.99 SRP each, available on Amazon.com,
Walmart.com and Target.com): Toddlers
won’t be able to put this blankie down with the super soft satin on one side
and cuddly fleece on the other. Available in each of the characters
from the show with their matching pajama prints.
• Stroll
‘n Go Pajanimals Friends ($8.99 SRP each, available on Amazon.com): Each
of the four Pajanimals characters comes with a different
sound--Crinklin’ Apollo, Jinglin’ Cowbella, Squeakin’ Squacky and Rattlin Sweet
Pea Sue. Fun for toddlers to play with on the go as they start to
recognize their favorite characters! Take them anywhere without getting lost
thanks to the handy hook that attaches to car seats and strollers.
And Running Press is
publishing a new Pajanimals Holiday
board and sticker book:
• Squacky and
the Gift of Christmas (SRP: $7.95): The Pajanimals
are excited that Christmas is coming! Squacky really hopes he gets the new
Fantastic Splash Super Sub, but then becomes worried that Santa won’t bring
it. The Pajanimals travel to The
Night Sky where the moon reminds Squacky that Christmas isn’t about the
presents you get, it’s about spending time with the ones you love and sharing
Christmas traditions together.
The Pajanimals series follows
the adventures of four cuddly musical puppets -- Sweet Pea Sue, Squacky, Cowbella and Apollo. Their journeys celebrate
imagination and tackle typical toddler issues such as the fear of the first day
of school, making new friends and learning how to share. The Pajanimals end their day of play
with a relaxing return to their cozy bedroom and familiar night time routines,
including bathing, brushing teeth and story time, to develop a feeling of
safety and structure.
I can't wait to receive the all-new Pajanimals’
Submarine Flashlight from TOMY to share with the girls. They can't get enough of the Pajanimals, and bedtime will be that more fun with this cute flashlight. :-) Stay tuned, as I will be sharing a review of the all-new Pajanimals’
Submarine Flashlight from TOMY in a couple of weeks.
