A NEW BEVY OF BEARS HAS BEEN BORN!
The Big Bear Hug Pillowcase was invented when my Granddaughter transitioned from a crib to a big girl bed at age 2. She would not stay in the bed all night and woke up crying for mommy. Her favorite stuffed animals were strewn on the floor or lost in the bedding. So I invented and stitched up a Big Bear Hug Pillowcase. I showed my Granddaughter that no matter how she turned her head she was always getting a big hug. I also put extra kisses in the heart shaped nose for her to retrieve during the night. She loved it. The Big Bear Hug Pillowcase worked its magic. She was often seen, when mom peeked in, face on the teddy bear face, hands holding teddy bear hands! The word spread and I made pillowcases for the cousins’ kids. The idea caught on. Big Bear Hug Pillowcases have helped over 250 kids, (and parents!) sleep through the night in the last four years.
Here's the details: The sleeping teddy bear face and paws are beige polar fleece for a textured feel. The eyes are closed ‘cause nobody wants to wake up with someone staring at them! The little bear's colorful themed pajamas are cool cotton. The pillowcase itself is also cotton in interesting colorful prints, and fits a standard size pillow. The entire pillow case is machine washable, dry-able and will fold up flat in a suitcase if you are traveling. Your Big Bear Hug Pillow Cases have already been washed and dried prior to packaging.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a child be 2+ years old to use a pillow. The Big Bear Hug Pillow Case makes a perfect gift for any loved one. One college bound guy bought one for his different college bound girlfriend for her dorm room.
Smart Guy! The zookeeper in me had to chuckle- he was marking territory! A loving mom (my age!) bought two for her daughters that live out of town! A brother told his sister all he wanted for Christmas was a big hug! Everyone needs a big hug sometimes.
The Big Bear Hug Pillowcase has evolved into a hug
to send anyone, anywhere, anytime, & any age!
The Entire Big Bear Hug litter , ( 20 in all), will be available at this Saturday, October 10th's Farmers' and Crafters' Market, from 10 am to 2 pm. See you there and please share!
