Description

Promotes: Emotional Courage, Emotion Identification, Empathy

Meet Ibex, a brave and heartfelt friend who guides children through the world of emotional courage and understanding. Ibex helps children to understand and navigate their feelings, fostering a deep sense of connection to self. Each story in Ibex's collection is crafted to demonstrate the power of facing emotions head-on, teaching children that it is okay to feel deeply and express those feelings.

Together, this set uses foundational messages kids need to hear and examples of how to apply them in their own lives to help children embrace emotional courage. The Ibex Kin set is more than just a toy—it's an educational tool that empowers little ones to understand their emotions deeply and navigate them with confidence.

Simple tools for a lifetime of benefits.

What's Included

Included in the set are:

  • "Ibex Greets his Feelings" Board Book: This story instills positive core beliefs towards emotions by encouraging children to acknowledge and welcome their feelings as they come. It shows that understanding and expressing emotions is a strength, not a weakness.
  • "Ibex Feels Deeply" Board Book: This story teaches emotional skills for understanding that it is normal to feel emotions intensely and that this ability makes them a leader. It helps children develop tools to manage strong emotions constructively.
  • Ibex Kin: A cuddly companion that embodies the lessons from the books, offering children a tangible reminder that they are strong enough to handle their emotions and that emotional depth is to be embraced, not feared.

  • Identifying emotions
  • Encouraging the acceptance and expression of a wide range of emotions

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.

Where do you ship to?

“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!”

    Love this so much!

    My daughter received Ibex as a birthday present and she loves him. She carries him around with her and squeezes him whenever she is feeling a big feeling. I love that she is learning how to acknowledge her feelings at a young age!

    Older kids love Slumberkins too!

    My son who is in second grade loves his Slumberkins and made this purchase looking for something to have on hand when he faces a difficult time. He currently has the hammerhead and sprite that were gifts for loss and a big change and he treasures them so much!

    “Goatee”

    Purchased for my 2 year old daughter to aid in comforting her when she must go to her mothers house during weekly custody exchanges. So far so good, let’s hope the mother makes sure it’s returned weekly and does not create more undesired stressors.
