Pros: It's Belle of course; washable; durable; fits standard pillow; pretty bright colors
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: A pretty pillow case woops I meant Snuggler. But it's Princess Belle and what little Belle fan wouldn't want to snuggle with this pillow!!
If there ever was a Belle fanatic then my 5 year old daughter is it. She has always adored Belle and it seems there's no changing her mind either. So there is no problem as to what to give her for her birthday or Christmas. If it has Belle on it then she is the happiest child on the planet!
So when my best friend informed me that she had bought a Belle Snuggler for my daughter's birthday I knew immediately she would be thrilled with the gift.
Info About the Belle Snuggler
This is basically like a pillow case - pillow is not included. It fits a standard pillow and measures about 17 x 27. The Belle Snuggler is manufactured under license by Play Along Ltd. Age recommendations is 3 years to 9 years.
The snuggler is very silky with a slight sheen to it. It is actually made of polyester and can be washed in a washing machine separately in a pillow case. The tag does not state warm or cold water. However, I have washed the snuggler in cold water. It can be dried in a dryer on gentle or air dried. I tossed it in the dryer on the gentle/low heat setting until most of the moisture was removed then I allowed it to air dry by hanging on a pant hanger.
The Belle Snuggler is something that a child can play with, sleep with, or simply have as an accessory to a Princess bedroom.
Belle's face, hair, and the ruffles on her dress are stuffed which gives the pillow a more realistic appearance. The background of the pillow features the ballroom inside the Beast's castle and the famous rose is on the pillow too. On the top right corner of the case is a white Snuggler patch which is embroidered in yellow.
The colors of the pillow are quite vivid. Belle's dress is yellow and she wears a yellow hair band. She also dons and earring (which is stuffed) and 3 stuffed beads which looks like a necklace. The ballroom is mostly gold tone with dark blue accents around the ceiling and balcony. Of course the rose is red and under a domed glass. The back of the pillow case looks like a standard pillow case and is solid yellow.
Our Experience
As I mentioned my daughter received the Belle Snuggler as a birthday gift. The snuggler was easy to fit onto a standard pillow. However, one general mistake I made was purchasing a pillow that had stripes. The material is thin and the stripes show through, slightly on the front but especially on the back.
My daughter sleeps with her pillow once in a while. She prefers for it to sit at the end of her bed - that's Belle's spot. Usually she snuggles with it during TV or book time though. And she has on occasion taken it to grandma's house for overnight trips.
The Suggler has held up considerable well too considering my child can be fairly rough on her things. Plus the pillow held up well during a washing and came out looking good as new.
Where to Buy
I do remember seeing the Snuggler's in Wal-Mart, however, I don't know if they still carry them. I know they can be purchased online at places such as Amazon.com and Ebay as of the date of this review.
Snuggler's come in other favorite Disney characters such as:
Cinderella
Ariel
Even boys can get in on the snuggle action with:
The Power Rangers
Superman
Finally if your little girl is a huge Disney Princess fan as my daughter is then I highly recommend a Snuggler pillow, especially Belle. When I asked my 5 year old if she recommend it she smiled, gave me a thumbs up and a wink. That would certainly mean yes.
