PILLOW PETS
The Pillow Pets Dream Lites line, from CJ Products, now includes characters
from Paw Patrol. The adventurous rescue pups, Chase and Marshall,
act as a night-light that turns kids’ rooms into a starry sky with the press of a
button. Designed for kids ages 3 and up, the licensed Dream Lites will project
Chase or Marshall’s paw print alongside the stars and feature four light
options.
Pillow Pets folding plush and Dream Lites will also feature characters
from DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming comedy, Trolls. Pillow Pets Folding
Plush will incorporate Poppy’s hot pink up-do and signature flower, Branch’s
mop of hair and Guy Diamond’s luminescent poof of gray. The Dream Lites
turn the folding plush into a night-light, illuminating the Trolls’ playful icons
and star patterns onto the ceiling. Alternating hues of amber, blue, and
green light set the scene for a peaceful night’s slumber.

alike. The Red Panda is modeled after the endangered
