Wubbzy and World Autism Day

In a partnership with Autism Speaks, Bob Boyle’s Wubbzy is on board to promote World Autism Awareness Day on April 2 in an effort to help increase awareness of the condition as a global health crisis.

Wubbzy will be front and center in a series of TV and web banner PSAs from Autism Speaks and the Ad Council. He’ll also featured on the website Walk with Wubbzy which provides ideas on how to celebrate WAAD in communities and drive donations. The walk takes place in more than 75 communities in the US, Canada, and UK. Last year’s walk raised more than $40,000.

Good Things Come In 3s!

And yes, that includes birthdays, and Wubbzy, Widget and Walden!
Abby really wanted a Wubbzy cake for her birthday. Her mom, Brittany, made her a super-special Wubbzy cake based on the pattern that you can find here at Nickjr.com. She really wanted to include Widget and Walden in the fun though, so she sketched them out in icing, too! What a great job!
I love seeing how everyone takes a very similar cake pattern and makes it their own. It looks like Abby really enjoyed her cake. I hope you guys all had a fun time! - Carrie

Maleah Loves Wubbzy!

Maleah loves Wubbzy so much and just had to have a Wubbzy birthday party. Thanks to a good friend of the family, Maleah got just what she wanted for her second birthday. A beautiful Wubbzy cake was crafted in her honor. I hope Maleah had a great day. She looks pretty pleased to me! - Carrie

Video Pick: Mikey Boogies!

Insane Mikey Dancing from Phillip Hintze on Vimeo.
Watch out Richard Simmons! Short, but sweet, this video is worth a watch. I don't know who taught Mikey his moves, but they had me rolling on the floor. Way to dance your pants off (or toes if you're not careful!) - Carrie

Video Pick: Joshua!

I was doing some poking around on YouTube today and came across some great new videos of little Wubbzy fans that I hadn't seen before. I'm going to post a few over the next couple of days.
This video is from user moehend of Joshua singing "Be Happy". "Be Happy" really seems to be one of our biggest hits! - Carrie

Crochet Wubbzy

I'm not sure if I've blogged about the awesome craft books that have been published for Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! through Leisure Arts. They are a great resource for the DIY-er that wants to make some Wubbster stuff at home.
Anyway, for the first time I stumbled upon a great completed crocheted Wubbzy when I found this image on Flickr! This one comes from Rose over at Tasty Crochet. Rose is a crochet superstar, she has even published her own book called Tasty Crochet. I'm not 100% sure if she used this specific pattern, but it's still cool to see this little fella all whipped up. Has anyone else out there made any Wubbzy goodies with these patterns? If so, send me some pictures! - Carrie

Isabelle Turns 1!

Happy birthday to Isabelle! Isabelle loves Wubbzy so her mommy knew that it was the way to go for her very first birthday. Isabelle's grandmom made her 2- count 'em TWO birthday cakes with Wubbzy on them! It really looks like Isabelle had a great day. Thanks so much for sharing it with us! - Carrie
