Holiday Gift Guide and Christmas Blessings 2009: Hugg-A-Planet Review!

Jacqueline December 19, 2009 1:13 am Reviews

Since we’re a homeschooling family, some of the top gifts on our list includes educational toys. It can be difficult to find toys that stimulate their minds and can be shared between kids of different age groups. The Hugg-A-Planet® collection of toys proves that educational toys should be enjoyed and appreciated by all young and old. Hugg-A-Planet® toys are much like soft, pillow balls that are designed to accurately look like the planets they represent. They are very detailed and provide lots of information of the planet they are duplicating. I found it to be a neat and engaging way to inspire my kids to learn outside of their natural surroundings!

My kids were intrigued by the neat places my husband showed them on these globes. It peaked the curiosity of my eight year old daughter and five year old son to research and find out about other countries and planets they never knew existed before! While my three year old and 1 year old weren’t quite old enough to grasp the educational purpose of these soft globes, they were still fascinated by being able to give these planets a squeeze and rolling them back and forth to one another as well as laying on top of them when they got tired out of tossing the ball to one another. These are toys that will definitely grow with your kids and provide beneficial information that will help inspire learning about the world and galaxies beyond!
