Description

Transition can be tough for all of us—especially for children. While the back-to-school season is exciting, it can also compound feelings of anxiety or nervousness, with new routines, new teachers, and maybe even a new school. 

Luckily, we can get a headstart on the prep at home. With our School Starter Kit, the whole family can load up on resources and social-emotional tools to help ease the transition.

*Note: Visual Routine Schedule is age-graded at 3+. It has 18 tiles, including 4 write-in tiles. Tiles measure 13" x 3". Each tile has velcro pre-applied on back. 

What's Included

What’s Included?

  • Sloth and his board book, “Sloth’s First Day of School”: “Sloth’s First Day of School” helps children and families see how routines make us feel loved, safe, and supported. The story also illustrates to children what a daily school day routine looks like and normalizes the nervous feelings children can experience when starting school. 
  • Sloth and his interactive book, "Sloth Starts to Slumber Board Book": This book helps children and families understand how routines create feelings of love, safety, and support. Slumber Sloth introduces progressive muscle relaxation techniques to help children calm their bodies and minds after a busy day, teaching that love, self-care, and relaxation are perfect ways to end the day.
  • Slumber Sloth and his interactive book, "Sloth's Daily Plan Book": This book helps children and families understand how routines create a strong foundation for learning and growth. "Sloth's Daily Plan" outlines the routines that make Sloth feel safe and secure. It also emphasizes that everyone, including caregivers, needs time for self-care and the importance of taking breaks to meet our needs.
  • Lunchbox Love Notes: While your child welcomes new routines into their life, make it a routine of yours to send them to school with a daily Lunchbox Love Note. In the middle of their day, you can remind your child they are loved and supported, no matter how far apart you may be. 
  • Visual Routine Schedule: Our visual schedule is one of our favorite tools for helping children get a headstart on creating routines and setting expectations. Easy to follow and flexible with moving pieces, this is a great resource for alleviating anxiety, strengthening the home-school connection, and giving our little ones more independence.

Questions? We’re here to help.

Are Slumberkins safe for infants?

We are big believers in promoting safe sleep, and in sticking with the rules of creating a safe sleep space. For that reason, it's key to remember that if your baby is under a year old, you should avoid putting any item in the crib that may be a SIDS risk while unattended. Not sure if a particular toy is safe for your baby? We always recommend checking with your baby's healthcare provider. 

We intentionally designed our Slumberkins without any small, detachable plastic pieces. Due to length of fur, our ultra plush fabric products are not suitable for infants or any children under 3 years of age.

All of Slumberkins are safety tested and ASTM certified at the highest level, which is paramount in this product category of children's toys. 

For additional information onproducts containing our Ultra Plush Fabric please read our safety guidelines HERE.

What are Slumberkins made from?

Our Slumberkins are made of the softest silken fabric. Slumberkins are 100% polyester and stuffed with hypoallergenic polyester fiberfill.

Where are Slumberkins made?

We are partnered with highly respected global production partners in different areas of China, Vietnam, Mexico, and the US. We are a part of ICTI's (International Council of Toy Industries) ethical toy program and only work with vendors who are a part of this group and compliant with the ICTI requirements which are regularly audited. If you would like more information please reach out to our customer service team at hello@slumberkins.com.

What is the difference between a Kin and a Snuggler?

We find that the preference for “body type” on our product varies by family. For some, they may start with a “Snuggler” – the flat lovey-style creature – for infants and babies before eventually graduating to a “Kin.” Kin’s are more of a traditional stuff animal body style with feet.

What age range are Slumberkins for?

Slumberkins can be fun for all ages! The best time to introduce a Slumberkins creature is as a baby shower gift. Reading, talking, and singing to infants has proven beneficial to growth and development. If you’re new to Slumberkins, we find that the sweet spot of our age range is 0-4 years old, but reading-aged kids continue to benefit from the lessons and stories as they grow. Finally, research shows that the inner voice is set for kids by the age of 7! This means that instilling a positive self-talk track is critical during their early development.

How do I care for my Slumberkin?

As with any product intended for your child we suggest Slumberkins should be washed prior to giving them to your little one. Machine wash using cold water and lay flat to dry. Wash as needed. DO NOT use fabric softener or dryer sheets or dry on high heat, as it can damage the fabric and cause extreme matting. DO NOT allow the Ultra Plush Slumberkins to become matted. Wash item and gently brush out fabric to remove knots or discard. As with any plush, minky material product, the original softness will change over time with washing.

Are Slumberkins machine-washable?

Yes! Machine wash using cold water and lay flat to dry. Wash as needed. DO NOT use fabric softener or dryer sheets or dry on high heat, as it can damage the fabric and cause extreme matting.

“Sprite has been a trusted friend as we have began navigating life without multiple family members. Sprite is loved by my daughter so much she requested to keep her in her backpack when a classmate sadly passed last month.”

KAITLYN H.

“Thank you — this has been a godsend. I used the Sprite and book for my 7 year old autistic daughter. It brings her comfort and peace. She loves to snuggle with the fluffy at night. The resources that can be downloaded are also valuable!”

EMMA.

“When my sister-in-law passed away I knew I needed to purchase the Sprite grief pack for my nieces. Also I reached out to customer service and they answered with a personal email and were very helpful. Thank you Slumberkins for all you do!”
