In this week's blog post, we wanted to tell you a little more about the recent promotional item our PR team cooked-up.

Smorbles: A Tasty Take On a Children's Sleep Buddy

Who doesn’t love s’mores? Roasted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers, all enjoyed beside a roaring campfire. Ah, s’mores in summer, we can smell the aroma from here.

Here at Snorble® - dare we say it - we’ve found a way to improve s’mores!

The ingredients remain the same (anything different would surely be sacrilege) but we’ve branded those otherwise boring little white marshmallows with the face of our interactive little sleep buddy, Snorble.

Say hello to ‘Smorbles.’

Hope all is well,
Team Snorble

In the next part of our weekly blog series, we thought we would introduce you to some of the other residents of Lullaboo!

Building Lullaboo: A Place for Children's Dreams

While our little buddy Snorble® quite rightly receives the most attention around here, did you know there is also an entire ‘Snorbleverse’ that is just waiting to be discovered? It’s the land of Lullaboo, a magical place that Snorble and their friends call home.

You see, in order to build a true land of dreams, our creative team, led by Brian Collins, has been hard at work filling Lullaboo with adorable critters and fantastic places. Brian is a former Walt Disney Imagineer whose talents you’ll have already appreciated if you’ve ever become enthralled and captivated by some of the world-famous Disney theme park rides that bear his signature imagination.

In the first of two parts that will feature in our weekly blog, Brian gives us a peek behind the curtain to discover some of the wonderful creations his team has developed. This week, we meet some of the residents of Lullaboo.

Lullaboo’s Critters: Your Child’s New Bedtime Buddies

Bi-Bobbing Bobbers (Bye Bob-ING Bobb-urs)

Bi-Bobbing Bobbers live in many of the rivers found in Lullaboo. They received their name because while they spend a good deal of time floating on the surface of the water, they occasionally will “bob” under the surface two times, one right after the other.

Young Bi-Bobbing Bobbers are about the size of a golf ball, but adults can grow as large as a baseball. They are mostly round with large round eyes

Typically found in groups, but not always. Bi-Bobbing Bobbers sound like the common bullfrog.

To meet more of our adorable critters, please visit our blog.

Until next time,
Team Snorble

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,
