What’s In Santa’s Sleigh?: Hugg-A-Planet Review And Giveaway {Closed}
It’s another day of What’s In Santa’s Sleigh? and today we have Hugg-A-Planet.
These are really quite cool. My daughter sleeps with them every night and we are even taking them to her school for show and tell later this week. We received a Hugg-A-Planet Earth with a Hugg-A-Moon (there is a little pocket in the Earth so you can keep them together) and Hugg-A-Planet Mars to review. I also have another set to giveaway to one lucky winner.
Honestly, these are wonderful teaching tools for your child. And quite well made, I might add. The Diva is 4 1/2 and is in love with these things! They are a bit heavy, but soft at the same time. She can already recognize our home state and the states some of our relatives live in. I can’t wait to show them to her class, they are all so eager to learn.
From Hugg-A-Planet:
The Hugg-A-Planet Product line was aboard the first Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) rocket to the International Space Station (ISS), the Sept. 11 launch and Sept. 18th docking was flawless. This award-winning product line brings the universal appeal of these fun and educational products to earth orbit. Whether in space or back home here on planet Earth, Hugg-A-Planets are for everyone.
Often used as a simple conversation piece for some, an educational resource for teachers, and for others just for a simple embrace. Now the Hugg-A-Planet® Earth, Hugg-A-Moon™ and Hugg-A-Planet® Mars will circle the Earth for many years to come. The Hugg-A-Planets will make a full orbit around the Earth every 90 minutes on the Space Station. They will stay there for as long as the space station remains active, at least till 2016, and will orbit the Earth 5860 times every year! NASA chose the Hugg-A-Planet globes peacetoys.com as a space-based teaching tool because of their geographic accuracy and soft construction. They also can be tossed around like a ball or used as a pillow.
“Every time I think of how far we have traveled with the Hugg-A-Planet product line it puts a smile on my face,” said Robert Forenza, President and Founder of Hugg-A-Planet. Making “green toys” since 1982. Forenza is amazed to think that two of our Planets and our Moon is in space. “Now we can add astronauts to the list of people including world leaders, politicians , celebrities, and business executives who enjoy our products.”
Hugg-A-Planets were voted as one of Parents Choice Foundation “Best 25 Toys of the Past 25 Years” and “Classic Toy of the Year” by Dr. Stevanne Auerbach ( “Dr. Toy” ) who said “The Hugg-A-Planet belongs in every toy box.”
Caring adults appreciate this ideal way to start children’s geographic education. Over 600 locations are labeled on the Hugg-A-Planet, including the world’s smallest nation ( Niue ). And they offer something extra … they can be hugged. Studies have shown that the majority of our personality is formed from birth to 7 yrs old. “Imagine generations growing up hugging the world. It is incredibly rewarding”, said Forenza. “I believe that people who hug the earth encourage others to care for the earth. besides, it’s a good way of promoting global awareness, sustainability, ecological consciousness and geography.”
