The Shrunks Review and Giveaway! (Ends 3/30)

Being afraid is just a part of growing up, but as a parent I want to do everything possible to comfort my children’s fears. A company called “The Shrunks” has made it their mission to help kids eliminate their fears by creating some pretty cool products. With a child’s imagination running wild starting at the age of 2, kids cannot distinguish the difference yet between reality and make-believe so the Shrunks toy company researched kids fears and anxieties. Through their research, they have designed a practical and fun toy collection. Their core purpose is “To give kids the power to eliminate their fears through the power of play” and you have to love their core values: Love kids, Make everything a game, Design touches everything, and Keep our promises. They have even created a family called “The Shrunks” that children can relate to.

The Shrunks toys are also “Fear Free Approved,” this means their products are safely made from no-toxic materials and have been thoroughly tested and inspected. So not only are their products fun for your children, but they are safe! Okay so now you are probably wondering what type of products they make.

The Shrunks products are separated into 4 categories:

Fear Gear – Durable plastic toys including: Big’r Magnifier, Blow’r Whistle, Mist’r Spray, See’r Flashlight, Yell’r Blow Horn, and Fear Bust’r Kit. These are awesome toys that are perfect for whatever you child is afraid of.

Ududolls – Squeezable, stuffed plush buddy that each represents a child’s fear.

Tuckaires – Safe travel toddler air beds designed to give your children a good nights sleep.

Sunny – A fearless dog specially trained by the Shrunks to sleep with one eye open so he can watch over your children from those scary noises, monsters under the bed or closet, or whatever else they are afraid of.

I was lucky to receive one of their Ududolls, “Thunder” to check out, and both my sons love it. You see Aidan is afraid of loud noises, especially thunder and when he saw this super cute plush of a thundercloud he started laughing. I love that these plush buddies are in a way making fun of the fear and showing kids that there is nothing to be afraid of. We haven’t had a storm since we got this doll, but when we do, I am going to have him hold his ududoll and I am sure it will comfort him. These dolls come in 7 different styles and are hand stitched from super soft material. They come in 12”, 8”, and 4” and Aidan loves to snuggle with his. These adorable dolls also start out at $8 and best of all are easily hand washable!
