Hugg-A-Planet belongs in every toy box.
by Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D.(Dr. Toy)
The early years are when children develop most of their personality, learn how to love, communicate and other skills for healthy human survival. By introducing a Hugg-A-Planet in these early development stages, children grow up loving and learning about the world.
At some point a child will ask "where do we live?" For many the answer is - The Hugg-A-Planet you have, this is where we live. The child has a head start in finding their place in the universe, and the parent a way to communicate about the world we live in. Everyone can relate to our planet Earth and we also know the power of a loving hug. This combination is what makes this toy so special.
- The way to put a child's loving hug upon the world.
- The way for parents to interact with their knowledge of the world.
- The way for using those early stages of human development for global awareness, geographic knowledge, and love for our place in the universe.
