Okay – I’m going to start this post asking you to raise your hand if your child loves stuffed animals? I swear every time we leave this house a stuffed animal fairy somehow takes hold of one of my children and ‘blesses’ them with some magical power to make me buy them another stuffed animal because OMG it is just so cute! I think this happens as I completely understand their need because I too as a child, was a collector of Stuffis Animalis. And when I graduated from college and bought a house, my mom showed up at my doorstep and delivered boxes and boxes of my beloved stuffed animals and just maybe I still have them all because OMG they are so cute.
What I love now though is that stuffed animals are so much cooler and seemingly smarter because they are not only squishy, huggy cute but they can be functional. This new found functionality of a stuffed animal makes parents very happy while their children delight even more in playing with their new friends.
So when I was contacted by Bumpidoodle to review a Floor Friend I kind of got way too excited over it because OMG cute!
The Bumpidoodle brand was created, designed and continues to be developed in the USA <— which is so awesome as so many toys now are not made here. And it’s actually a local Minnesota company which I am thrilled to support! A six year old girl named Ellison from Minnesota thought of the name “bumpidoodle.” She wanted there to be lots of friends so they could all play together. Bumpidoodle Friend Floor Cushions are made from ultra-plush fabric with soft fleece accents and a cozy polyester fill. And believe me – they are super soft and fun. But you don’t have to believe me – just ask my expert….
Astrid flipped when we opened her new Ellie The Elephant Bumpidoodle and hugged on it and loved on it and jumped on it.
Until she fell asleep.
Now Astrid drags her Ellie everywhere as it’s her own special place to sit and read a book, play a game,snuggle with her cats or even take a rest. Her big sisters have very cool tween beanbag chairs so now Astrid has something cool of her own…and trust me when I say that her big sisters are JEALOUS and Eloise is begging me for the Panda Bumpidoodle(you’ve seen Eloise in her Panda hat, yes?)
And now for the best part –
I’m giving away an Ellie The Elephant Bumpidoodle Floor Friend to one of you!!!
Actually, I think that elephant is the cutest!
Darn it, I am your first entry!
I like Olive the Owl!!!!!
awww! They are all cute! But I am partial to the Monkey…because Aiden is “my lil’ monkey”.
Olive the owl is cute!
The elephant is the cutest.

I love Dillon Dog! So cute!
Oh my word that is cute! Dillon Dog would be the one for my kids.
Mason the Monkey is pretty darn cute, but I have to say my girls would just be happy with any new and cute stuffed animal. Especially one they can jump and lay on.

Dillon Dog. No wait, Olive Owl. Or maybe Benji Bear? They are all so cute. My daughter is jealous because my son has the giant FAO Patrick dog. She’d love one of these!
Love Olive Owl!!

I’m torn between Toby Turtle, Dillion Dog or Olive Owl. And yes, I too had a stuffed animal collection as a kid.

But Astrid just made me happy with her smile.
Also, I love elephants.

Oh my goodness, the cuteness. If I win, do I really have to share this with my kids–I mean really?

They are all so cute! Honestly, I think I like the elephant best (it may be that all the cute Astrid pictures are making me biased to that one though!). Elise would definitely like the turtle best.

love the owl – but have to say – would take that cute elephant and its adorable blonde ‘accessory’ in a heartbeat
The turtle or the owl, I cannot decide.
My children would never fall asleep out of their beds. Seriously. Aside from the car, they’re all eyes WIDE open

Love them all. But I would pick Olive the Owl. Astrid is adorable. A girl a work here said that could be an ad for them with her sleeping on her Elephant.
I love the elephant! Or the owl, or the turtle…
Olive the Owl would look so amazing in our home!
Well since my son is named Parker, I will have to Parker the pig is my favorite.
