They promote a strong connection between children and their caregivers.

Reason Two

Our books are meant to be shared experiences between caregivers and kids (and honestly, we can all learn something from the stories!). These make for unique and special bonding opportunities between the reader and the listener.

Reason Three

You don't have to be a social-emotional learning (SEL) expert to raise emotionally intelligent children. Our resources are highly approachable and only take a few minutes out of your day, making them busy-parent AND therapist-approved!

They are fun for kids to engage with.

Reason Four

Kids love not just engaging and interactive stories, but having a cuddly creature to match! Our creatures help remind children of each lesson, and repeating the affirmations is fun for littles to follow along.

Slumberkins is so much more than just cuddly creatures. From a library of books, to curriculum and free resources, we have so many unique tools to begin your emotional-learning journey.

Reason Seven

Slumberkins was created by two moms - a special education teacher and family therapist - who wanted to make social-emotional resources more available and approachable for families and educators today. Each creature and lesson is infused with evidence-based practices, making our books intentional, educational, but most importantly, fun and easily-digestible.
