The Pling Plong

— October 5, 2008 — Life-Stages
The Pling Plong is a cute character pillow with a built-in media player. Young children who love being read to are able to lie down and cuddle up to a soft pillow and listen to their favorite stories or fall asleep to lullaby music. The pillow not only hides the high-tech stuff but also keeps it from being misplaced.

Toys are often high tech-looking, but the Pling Plong's appearance makes the gadget a lot less intimidating. The Pling Plong will help develop a child's interest in reading and a love of books. The Norwegian designer is Silje Softing.
