Brush Buddies Gets Sleepy
leepin’ Buddies, from BRUSH BUDDIES, teach kids to sleep by giving them a buddy to mimic and fall asleep with side-by-side. A USB connection allows parents to upload voice recordings, lullabies, stories, and music, which they can set to play for up to an hour. The adjustable sleep timer gradually lowers the volume of the music and slowly closes the plush pal’s eyes to show kids that it’s bedtime and help them fall asleep.
