For me I am always looking for something different for my kids and me to do. Recently I saw a product called Inkoos that was very different. Now it might sound like a funny name, but my daughters loved playing and cuddling with the Inkoos.
What are Inkoos you might ask? Well they are a cross between pillows in the shape of characters your kids love and a new way for your kids to color. This toy line comes in a bunch of different styles and shapes. There are glow in the dark Inkoos and even mini Inkoos. Just recently Inkoos has teamed up with Disney to bring you Ariel, Rapunzel, Elsa, Anna and Olaf.
This new style art canvas allows your kids to draw on, decorate with stick-on gems, and then wash in the washing machine to start all over again. For my daughters I got the Elsa and Rapunzel Inkoos. The Elsa and Rapunzel ones come with three washable markers that attach to the toy via a clip. My daughters used the markers to draw on the front and back of each toy. There are also 12 stick-on gems for your kids to create their one of a kind design. You might have to help your kids out when applying the gems on. I had to help out my daughters to make the gems stick on.
These Inkoos have a flat base so it stands on its own. We all know with kids that they can change their mind in an instant so with these toys you can just remove the gems, place the Inkoos in a pillowcase, and wash it in the washing machine. One tip I do have is that you should clean each one within 48 hours of drawing. That will help with the ease of getting the colors from the markers out.
This toy gives kids a cool pillow for either bedtime or when you are watching movies together for family movie night. Not only do the Inkoos have Disney characters, but they will also have the Minion Bob and Stuart from the “Despicable Me” movies. Several characters will also be available in the smaller Color ‘N Go size for doodling fun on-the-go! Look for these characters to come out this Spring.
