Dream
Frenz
There
are currently 10 Dream Frenz characters. More are currently in
development, including a sports line, a heroes line and an international line.
· With
an oversized, soft head and a tiny body that tucks inside, Dream Frenz is a
cuddly plush pillow but also a toy, a stuffed character and a comforting
companion that never fails to evoke a smile. Dream Frenz believes that
every child should be a dreamer; the characters are designed to inspire
self-expression, story-telling and imagination in children.
· Dream
Frenz is for children 3 and up. The characters are multi-cultural and the
different characters are designed to appeal to both boys and girls.
· The
Dream Frenz products are low tech by design. In a world where children are
wired by toddler age, Dream Frenz intentionally goes the opposite direction –
there are no batteries, sounds, or lights. The Dream Frenz come alive
through the power of a child’s imagination.
· Dream
Frenz was founded by Florida-based mom-entrepreneur Halie Fulton, who left the
practice of law to focus instead on the “Mommy Track”. While
raising her daughters, Halie was inspired by the ‘tadpole drawings’ of her
oldest daughter – she subsequently launched her company to bring the drawings
to life. Tadpole drawings are drawings by pre-school age children.
Researchers believe that the tadpole represents the child’s body self-image and
that these drawings, typically with big, colorful heads, tiny bodies and happy
faces, are an early attempt at realistic drawing.
· Halie’s
three young daughters, Mary, Shelby and Katy, now 14, 12 and 9, are
instrumental ‘partners’ in Dream Frenz. The original inspiration came
from sketches Mary began drawing when she was three years old.
Inspiration finally struck Halie when Mary reached the third grade and was
still doodling. Halie enlisted Shelby’s sewing instructor to create the
original Dream Frenz prototype. All of Halie’s daughters have a voice in
the design and materials used to create Dream Frenz. They also contribute
to the marketing.
· The
Dream Frenz product is currently available through dreamfrenz.com and at
independent retailers. Plans are currently underway to expand to retail
outlets nationally.
The 411:
We received a Pirate Dream Frenz named PJ. He is adorable, soft, colorful and happy! Just look at that smile.
We think Dream Frenz are perfect. They make a great accessory to your child's bed. It's like having a toy and a pillow in one. AND They are super comfortable. The size and shape of these pillows are great for napping and for being used as a lumbar pillow while sitting at a desk. I swear. We have not let PJ go to bed with anyone yet because we all want to use him. If he isn't under someone's head on the couch he is behind someone's back in a chair. Or the kids are sitting with him on the floor. Perfect Pillow for so many reasons. AND...the little surprise inside that head...a tiny little body makes for even more fun. Kids and adults will love these pillows.
The kids already have them on their Christmas lists this year. BOTH want one that glows in the dark.
