Cloud b Offers Plush Toys with a Purpose


	The Tranquil Turtle from Cloud b is a finalist in the Toy of the Year Awards and has been covered extensively in parenting and toy publications.

Cloud b thrives on innovation, sleep technology and most importantly, passion. With these elements, the company has mastered the art of creating plush toys with a purpose and continues to do so year after year.

Cloud b created Tranquil Turtle to alleviate stress and promote tranquility between parents and children. The toy transforms any room into a peaceful seaside oasis. Glowing in a relaxing aquamarine or a serene ocean blue color, the shell projects a magical underwater light effect with a gentle wave motion and plays the soothing sounds of ocean waves and undersea melodies. The total effect provides for a calm and relaxing environment, giving children a peaceful night’s sleep.
