Aurora Plush Toys – Bringing Smiles To Kids Of All Ages- Review and Giveaway

I may be 29 (cough… for the past several years), but I still happen to love plush toys. There is something about a cute cuddly stuffed animal that still warms my heart and brings a smile to my face.   My two kiddos also share my adoration for stuffed animals and the first place they are gravitated to in a toy store is the fuzzy critter aisle.  Between my children and myself, we have a rather extensive plush toy collection. Each toy is treasured and most of them are tied to a significant sentimental occasion or event. Some of the plush toys even have a hidden meaning behind them and when I pick one up, it brings back a fond memory.

I would like you to become acquainted with two of the newest additions to my families plush animal collection.  These two little snuggly cuties come from the Aurora Plush Toys YooHoo and Friends product line.

Squirrel

Aurora Squirrel

The Squirrel is 8″ tall, reddish brown, has big pink eyes, white accents, and when its tummy is pressed makes the sweetest little “chitter”  sound.   My daughter said the sound was addicting and couldn’t keep her hands off its soft belly.  Too cute!

YooHoo Bush Baby

Aurora Bush Baby

The YooHoo Bush Baby is 8″ tall and cream colored with a long fluffy striped tail.  The huge eyes, super soft fabric, and cute funny sound when its belly is pressed makes it stand out from other plush toys and a family favorite.   The one I received to review had a purple tail and makes a “whistle” sound.  There are other colors and sounds available for purchase such as pink (giggle), yellow (chitter), and blue (boing).  The plush toy is recommended for children ages 3 and up, but I let my son who is almost two  play with it, under my FULL supervision and he loved it!

Aurora YooHoo and Friends

The Aurora YooHoo and Friends are based upon real animals from all over the globe.  Some of the darling animals are even endangered species!   Their huge eyes and long fluffy tails are creating smiles and successfully winning the hearts in children of all ages.   Each one of the YooHoo and Friends, just like all of Aurora’s plush toys and gifts, are quality made, affordable,  and make an excellent gift.

www.yoohoofriends.com

To expand the Yoohoo and Friends fun play even further, Aurora launched an   online virtual world inspired by the plush toy line geared towards children ages 5 through 12.   The website features character’s that resemble real animals living in their natural habitats and is a great way to introduce and bring about environmental education to youngsters.   The website is completely free to use and does not require an activation code for entry.  Members can watch upcoming YooHoo animations, adopt and raise YooHoo and Friends, decorate pet’s room,  play games, download colorful wallpapers, learn about endangered animals,  and more!

Aurora Naturally Green Plush

Aurora Naturally is a wonderful eco-friendly and “green” plush product line.  Each plush toy is crafted from 100% soy fiber and stuffed with %100 Kapok.  Kapok is a soft luxurious cotton-like substance that is well known for being hypoallergenic.  The silky fiber comes from the seedpod of the oldest and tallest tree in the rainforest called the Kapok or Ceiba Tree.   All of the Aurora Naturally products are handmade in Indonesia, come with a recycled paper hang tag, and a sewn cotton label.  Take a look at a few of the cuties available…

About Aurora

Aurora World Inc. (Aurora) has grown to become a respected leader in the plush gift industry, thanks to its hallmarks of success producing large varieties of high quality, affordable plush. Aurora brings smiles to millions of kids of all ages around the world, from every walk of life. The company story begins in 1981 when it launched as Aurora Trading Inc., in Seoul, Korea. Over the next decade, Aurora quickly established itself as a leader in the industry with its celebrated designs, highlighted by quality and creativity.

The products speak for themselves, and at the same time, the company developed an infrastructure and philosophy for which they are now well known — exceptional customer service, phenomenal leadership and strong employee relations.

In the early 1990s, Aurora expanded at a rapid pace. Manufacturing factories were opened in Indonesia and China, while sales networks were created in Hong Kong and then the United States in 1992. By 1996, Aurora?s sales teams were established in the United Kingdom and Germany as well. Aurora design, research and development centers opened in Seoul, Korea and the company officially changed its name to Aurora World Inc. On the verge of the millennium, Aurora was recognized in the top five for brand awareness in the United States gift market. By 2003, a second manufacturing factory opened in China and Aurora was listed on the KOSDAQ (Korean Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System).

Today, Aurora maintains 12 showrooms across the United States, from Anchorage to Atlanta and everywhere in between. In addition to four headquarters and multiple factories around the world, Aurora participates in more than 50 gift and toy shows annually and its products are sold through more than 25,000 retail outlets worldwide.
