YooHoo & Friends “Wannabe” Review

· by · 70 Comments

On Easter morning, Darah found something very interesting from YooHoo & Friends waiting for her in her basket.

It was a stuffed lemur.

And it was dressed up in a horse costume!

This unique stuffed animal comes from YooHoo & Friends. YooHoo & Friends originally hit the scene in 206, and since that time, approximately 13,000 have been purchased EVERY SINGLE DAY, for a total of over 14 million! They are quite popular!  YooHoo & Friends wannabe collection

These new characters, the “WannaBes” are so much fun. They are the Yoohoo & Friends creatures that are also so loved by many, dressed up as other animals (for example, a giraffe, elephant, lion, tiger, horse, cow, cat and dog). When you squeeze your wannabe, they make the sound of the animal that they are dressed up like! Their hoodies are removable so that your child can play with their friend in costume or not in costume.

Now, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t too sure if Darah would like this new toy, or if she would just find it to be a strange “sort of horse/sort of lemur” combo. In fact, she fell instantly in love with it. After we explained what it was, she started giving it kisses and telling it that it was so soft and sweet. And she LOVES the horse sounds that it makes when you squeeze it! She has been toting her lemur with her everywhere since she got it, and she also likes to brush its hair and practice putting it to bed (by reading it a story, taking it to the potty, putting it in her bed, putting covers on it, and singing to it. CUTEST. THING. EVER.). child with YooHoo & Friends wannabe horse

(Sorry for the poor lighting in the picture. My child wakes up before the sun…)

If your child is just a little big older than Darah, they might also enjoy the interactive website which compliments the line has is based on animals all around the world. Definitely check it out when you have a minute!

Buy it!: YooHoo & Friends are sold nationwide (find your nearest retailer here). Because they tend to sell out fast, the website recommends that you call before heading out to the store to make sure they have some in stock! They are also currently sold on Amazon.

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win a WannaBe animal from YooHoo & Friends!

  58. I want to get some of these for my little girl. I think she’d like Rino, Lemmee, Ringring, Ruby, Kookee, and probably Lora.
