Youngsters respond to this interactive plush toy with a mix of adoration and delight, a consequence of its warmly appealing appearance and powerfully engaging interplay. For parents, a big part of the draw stems from key elements of Social Emotional Learning incorporated into Wigglebug's design and the interpersonal skills kids soak up along the way. There are four distinct play modes, during each of which Wigglebug's belly glows in colors that match the mood. In Free Play, Wigglebug responds to actions such as being spun, bounced, rubbed, and more, with exuberant utterances mingled with irresistible sound effects. In Wiggle Hop Stop mode, Wigglebug directs the child through physical activities like dancing and hopping and tells them when to pause, offering affirmations for following along. Calm/Story mode provides gentle, guided practice at self-soothing, while Sleep mode offers a selection of nature and lullaby sounds with which to pave the way towards rest and relaxation.
