Created by the
Happiness Express Club, Little Snoozems were bean and
plush stuffed
animals made for
babies and young children to
sleep with. There were four different animals to choose from; a
bear, a
rabbit, a
dog and a
cat. Each were the
size and form of a standard
American Girls doll, but were
soft in the middle and just
wide enough to
cradle a child's'
head. They were dressed in soft,
baby blanket-like sleep
clothes with footies which were sewn loosely to the
body and each came with their own baby blanket the size of a
washcloth.
The Little Snoozems seemed to be a perfect little sleep buddy for any child, but then again, nothing is ever perfect. For one, the stuffed, floppy animals were a bit heavy (almost 2 pounds) for the age group the products were aimed for. They were also considerably expensive; around 30 dollars for one.
The rush to purchase these toys only lasted about 2 to 3 months, then swiftly died down, leaving the Little Snoozems to collect dust and sale tags till they were retired not long after their appearance in stores.
