INTRODUCING Woolly Boo at The Benjamin Hotel in NYC!
Woolly Boo is proud to announce its partnership with The Benjamin Hotel in New York City, where sleep is core, not an afterthought or coincidence.
Woolly Boo’s Toddler Pillow was selected as the official pillow of Winks’ Kidzzz Club, the hotel’s sleepy time program for the little leaders of tomorrow, to help reinforce the program’s mission of educating children and parents alike on the importance of sleep and healthy bedtime rituals such as choosing organic, chemical-free bedding, avoiding TV 1.5 hours before bedtime, and keeping a regular bedtime schedule even during vacation.
Beginning in Mid-March, families who stay at the boutique luxury hotel in Midtown will be able to use Woolly Boo’s naturally hypo-allergenic, wool-filled Toddler Pillow during their stay.
The Winks’ Kidzzz Club is a complimentary program, and it is available to kids ages 2 to 12. Club offerings also include:
- Kid-sized robes, available for use at the hotel
- Lending library of family favorite bedtime books
- Official Winks’ Kidzzz Club Sleep Certificate awarded upon check-out for a goodnight’s sleep
- Winks the Owl doll available for purchase ($10).

Happy ....... Day?!?
When we received a message from the kids' school informing us school closing in observance of the President's Day, we did what any parent would do: I googled it. I mean, what exactly is the "President's Day?"
Well, it appears that the Federal holiday is actually called Washington's Birthday, in the honor of our first president, and that his actual birthday falls on February 22. Now, because both Lincoln and Jefferson were born in or around February as well, some states observe the same day as, wait for it, President's Day. Some states and all department stores, it seems.
Well, happy birthday, Mr. President.
In any case, we hope that you enjoy this nice break with your family. We just wish there was some snow we can play with. But, the spring weather we have been having isn't that bad either, right?

Have you been loosing sleep?
The recent article from Wall Street Journal in which they cite a recent sleep study released on Monday by the Journal of Pediatrics states that while our kids are sleeping less, our parents and our grandparents haven't done a much better job either. Apparently, the kids have been "loosing sleep" since 1900's, and it is all due to technology and, wait for it, literacy. At the turn of the 20th century it was the radio and the books that kept the kids away. Right now, it is television, computers, and mobile phones.
So, what is keeping your kids up?

Craft Day at MCPK
Dear friends,
This post has been a few weeks in the making, but I never seemed to find time or the energy to give it the attention it needs. So, having somewhat recuperated and having caught up with email and messages, after what it felt like an endless stream of craft shows and trade shows, it is time to share this wonderful and wondrous experience with you.
During the planning sessions for the launch of our new product, All-In-One Toddler Nap Mat (pictured above in Pajama Blue), our PR and marketing strategist Cole Hernandez of Pink Graffiti shared a vision board for the trade show booth that would look like a mini preschool classroom. We all agreed that is an amazing idea, and decided to go for it. But, then we realized that preschool classroom walls are always lined with art work, which we didn't have.
So, I decided to take it to source, and asked my children's teachers at Montclair Community Pre-K if they would be interested in organizing a craft day, sponsored by Woolly Boo, where we would bring many different craft supplies and tools for the kids to use and create whatever strikes their fancy. Teachers were delighted by the idea, and were very excited that kids were going to practice their fine motor skills, as well as their imagination.
To keep us on track and within the theme of wool, sheep, and sleep, I downloaded several different sheep coloring pages, like this one from Crayola. Then, I packed my goody bag of craft supplies. Now, some might say that I am a little biased when it comes to crafting supplies (wink, wink). And that I have expensive taste. I have to assure you that my bias comes from the years of experience as a hardcore scrapbook enthusiast. Anyway, this is what our goody bag contained:
You can view the full gallery of artwork by clicking on the Flickr badge on the right side of the screen, or by clicking on this link.
Throughout the day, the teachers kept mentioning the high quality of the glitter, glue, and ink pads, and how easy they are to use and reuse. So after we cleaned up, I left all the glitter (the ones pictured, as well as the entire collection of iridescent glitter) that kids found inspiring and fun. My only regret is that I didn't have more to share it with the other classes in the school.
My appeal to everyone reading this is as follows: make sure to bring the toys, craft supplies, and books that your preschoolers have outgrown to a local pre-K. They will receive a whole new life and a lot of love from the kids and teachers there.
Warmly,
Selma

The children have received their artwork back, as well as the digital images of the artwork. And some stickers :)
