Review and Giveaway: Cuddle Barn Storytime Teddie

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, Ticia!

Johnny adores bears. He always has. So when MomSelect contacted me about reviewing Cuddle Barn’s Storytime Teddie, I knew I had found the perfect birthday present for him. Isn’t this guy cute?

He was, predictably, a hit with all three kids. They think it is awesome that he talks (he recites the poem ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas). Johnny (and then the girls) finds the fact that his mouth opens and closes while he talks – and that, therefore, you can make him bite your finger, hilarious. See the video below, for evidence =)

I like that the bear is cute, soft, a great size for a child to cuddle, and (perhaps most of all) that you can turn him off! My kids play with him turned off at least as much as when he is on. I was a little disappointed to see that underneath his shirt is a less-soft, non-fur fabric. I also think that this particular poem is a little long for kids to sit through, particularly delivered with minimal emotion (Teddie recites it the way a young child would read it out loud for the first time).
