About Sleepover Friends

Hello! I am Amanda Steele. I live in the Santa Cruz mountains with my husband, two girls and golden doodle Coco. By the time the girls were 3 and 4 years old they asked when they could have their own sleepovers. Since they were too young for sleepovers I started sewing sleeping bags for their stuffed animals so we could have sleepovers at home. During the pandemic I left my job as a recreation therapist to be home with my girls and Sleepover Friends was born! Besides the ability to have a slumber party every night at home, here is what we are finding out what kids, parents and grandparents are saying: EASING THE BEDTIME ROUTINE Kids have an active role during bedtime by tucking their Sleepover Friend in. Especially designed for size, weight, texture, and squishiness to be perfect snuggle buddies. PROVIDING COMFORT When kids are sick, Sleepover Friends make great comfort companions. HELPING WITH CHANGES Transitions can be challenging, whether it is a new baby in the family, moving, or having separate households. Sleepover Friends provide familiarity and security during uncertain times. ADVENTURES and the PURE JOY FACTOR! Sleepover Friends make great adventurers and travel companions on: vacations, road trips, and camping. Wherever you go they want to be by your side: in an airstream, RV, tent, yurt, cabin or laying out under the stars. The spirit of adventure can begin at any age!Read their story
