My younger boys love to cuddle with stuffed animals, especially when they are not feeling well or are going to sleep. When I heard about BuckleyPanda I was happy to give a review.
BuckleyPanda is part of the BuckleyBoo collection of award-winning developmental stuffed toys that were co-created by a child psychologist and grandma that encourage cognitive development and sequential learning through matching, buckling and unbuckling.
BuckleyBoo is geared towards ages 18 months to four years old. There are 3 stages of learning with your BuckleyBoo.
-Stage 1: Matching- Children will learn to visually match the bright ribbons by pattern on their BuckleyBoo
-Stage 2: Buckling- Children are ready to buckle at 18 months, but they cannot unbuckle, which makes BuckleyBoo, for a time, a toy to be shared between parent and child. At this stage, the child will probably leave all of the other buckles in their environment alone; now they have their own buckles to play with.
-Stage 3: Unbuckling- At three years of age, children have both the physical strength and the problem solving skills to buckle and unbuckle. They may even happily do it for hours on end! Children will also begin to integrate their lovable pal into their world of imaginative play.
My 3 year old and my 15 month old have both spent time playing with their new BuckleyPanda. Our 15 month old loves that he has a bell in him and makes noise. He loves to cuddle with him and carry him around. Our 3 year old loves playing with the buckles and while he hasn’t spent a lot of cuddle time with the Panda, he has definitely spent time playing with the buckles.
The 17″ BuckleyPanda retails for $29.00 and the 12″ for $19.00 and is available to purchase online at www.BuckleyBoo.com as well as specialty toy, education and gift stores. Visit the website for product pricing and list of local retailers.
