We're starting a weekly blog series, and we thought the best way to kick things off was to share a bit more on how it all started!
Inventing Snorble®: The Toddler Sleep Solution (and More)
The 25th of October 2019 was a Friday.
Aside from the political storms of the day, high winds fueled a spate of wildfires in Northern California and Twitter’s share value plunged almost 21% following poor third quarter revenue figures.
But Mike Rizkalla was oblivious to such events around the world. A serial entrepreneur and award-winning creative leader in the technology and robotics industries, Mike had an idea.
That idea began to evolve as he and longtime friend and collaborator, Doug Hughes, himself a veteran of building innovative technologies for education, put their heads together.
Mike had been trying to establish consistent and healthy bedtime routines for his kids, Max and Emily, and thought an animated character magically brought to life might be the answer. Surely, there had to be something out there that could help with this.
To read the rest, please visit our blog.
Hope all is well,
Team Snorble

Last December, we launched a coloring giveaway and it turned out to be a lot of fun for both the families that took part and our team.
With that in mind, we thought we would follow-up the release of our first coloring and activity book by hosting another giveaway!
All you've got to do is download the book, have your little one(s) color Snorble®, and then submit their art through our website. On August 10th, we'll pick a random winner from the entries and send them a $100 Target gift card!
For more details, check out our blog post
Have fun,
Team Snorble
Note: Entries limited to residents of the United States of America only. This giveaway is not affiliated with or endorsed by Indiegogo.

Since Snorble® doesn't ship until October, we thought it would be great to create more ways for kids to engage with our little buddy before they meet the real deal.
With that in mind, we put together an activity book filled with coloring pages, a crossword puzzle, and more to introduce your little one(s) to some of Snorble’s friends and Snorble too.
If you’re interested, all you have to do is click the button above to get the printable version and start having fun with your family!
Enjoy,
Team Snorble
