The "3-2-1" Plush Safari Collection by Zoobie® Pets

"No mama, you can't use my Zoobie!" may become common words in my household.

These sweet and cuddly "3-2-1" (or "3-in-one") pets are starting to take the world - or at least the U.S. - by storm.

Are you looking for the perfect gift that both children and parents love? You might want to give Zoobie Pets a try!

What are Zoobie Pets Anyway? 

Zoobies Safari Pets are very soft plush animals that can be transformed into an oh-so-comfortable pillow or a blanket. (As the company states, they have "Squishability".) :)

Here's how they work: Under the plush pet there are velcro straps and fasteners that easily open and close to transform it from a plush animal into a pillow and back again. At the bottom is a zipper that opens up to then transform it into a blanket (just as soft and "squishable").

The blankets are attached to the pet with a smaller zipper, allowing easy removal of the blanket for washing or to use the blanket separately.

Their quality is outstanding - durable with sturdy stitching and tough (but very soft) material and strong velcro fasteners. It's obvious that no expense was spared in making them.

These products were created with the idea in mind of having handy play toys, pillows and blankets all in one for taking on the road. They do function well in this way, but kids and parents seem to like them whether they're taking a trip or not. They make very comfortable wraps for babies too.


There are 10 pets currently available. The ones shown here are Kojo the Croc, Mashaka the Monkey and Ellema the Elephant.

Here's the rest of the list:
  • Hada the Hippo
  • Rhaxma the Rhino
  • Lencho the Lion
  • Zulu the Zebra
  • Winda the Wildebeest
  • Jafaru the Giraffe
  • Cheche the Cheetah
