The Slumberkins Otter Bundle comes with an Otter plush (either the Otter stuffed animal Kin plush or the blanket style Snuggler plush), an affirmation card, and two Otter books about building connections. Our Otter collection has many other combinations and options, too, from a bigger, classroom-friendly version of the book Otter’s Community Grows: A Lesson in Building Connections to a set of matching plush Connection Hearts to share with a loved one near or far.
Snuggle up with your little one (and Otter, of course) to read Otter’s books on connection aloud. The time spent together will help foster a secure and meaningful connection between you and your little one—a strong connection that will remain even during times of separation. When kids are feeling lonely or upset, they can cuddle their very own Otter and remember that they’re forever in your heart (just like you’re forever in theirs).
Children depend upon the adults in their lives for just about everything. All of our toys and stories are designed by experts to teach social-emotional learning skills, so you can rest assured that you’re helping the kids you care for develop strong emotional foundations and build important bonds when you introduce them to Otter.
We understand the stress that comes along with being separated from the people you love. Otter is understanding of this too and is ready to help you and your child interact, connect, and reflect on the way you’re feeling—together.
