Who remembers Doodle Bear® ?
Those colourful , lovable soft and stuffed cuddly bears not unlike a standard stuffed toy but with a smooth fur-free surface.
They are still just as much fun to doodle, stamp, trace, and then machine wash-to-erase, as you remember!
Fisher-Price has brought them back due to popular demand .Each lovable Doodle Bear® is equipped with 2 dual-tipped washable markers (drawing tip at one end and a stamper at the other - 4 colours ), plus a little stencil with 3 shapes to trace. (You can buy more pens too if you want )
Kids can use the washable markers all over it to decorate and personalise their little doodle bear friend instead of themselves or the baby .
We received a purple one named "Violet" .Though Violet already had some cute doodles & decorations Sam enjoyed colouring it in and out of the lines and stamping.
Who knows if more white patches would interest kids more ?
I did mention it's completely machine-washable - not just the surface - the whole bear goes in the machine !
Kids can decorate their bear to their hearts content, then machine-wash it clean so they can doodle again & again on a blank canvas!
Fisher-Price Doodle Bear is available in 3 colour /styles Rose is Pink, Sky is blue ~
It's the best bear to foster creative play combined with the emotional value of a cuddly softy.
Personally I think it would be great for kids with allergies .
Doodle Bears ® will feature in the Big W July (preview the catalogue online 20th June) and Toys R US toy sales from July 1st ( the same day as twins 5th birthday here - I may be going shopping 12:01am) -
Age: 3+ though my 4 yr found the stencil tricky he was happy with it
The good news is you could win one here for free !
