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

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.
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.
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.
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.

Love love love these! As a pediatric OT, who specializes in sensory processing and regulatory difficulties, I’ve LOVED incorporating these materials into treatment sessions. Incredibly well done, high quality products, cannot recommend enough. If you’re on the fence, do it!
We love all of our Kins, but the Big Book Set was probably one of the best Slumberkins investments we’ve made. I absolutely love the size of these books. Because of their larger size, keeping everyone engaged is that much easier. We are a family full of different needs, big feelings and lots of behaviors. Having this collection has helped so much with navigating life’s daily challenges and all of the big emotions that aren’t always the easiest to accept or understand, not only for our kids but for us parents too. These are just wonderful and worth every penny!
The online resources equipped me to create a Slumberkins module that corresponds with the Social Emotional Learning activities we do at SEL club meetings after school. Students in 7th & 8th grade have the opportunity to join SEL club and complete tasks for points. 100 points qualifies them to be SEL club ambassadors. The privilege of being an SEL ambassador is getting to participate in our Slumberkins Service Project. We sent a form to our local elementary school principal for her to have K-2 teachers respond with the lesson they would like their class to receive from our ambassadors. Our club members will go in pairs to the K-2 classrooms to share the stories and Kins with children.
