From the Manufacturer
Wish...Share...Shine! Next time you wish upon a star...let it be your very own shining star! RUSS has partnered with the International Star Registry in a revolutionary new Shining Stars program. The program includes a plush Shining Stars Friend, crafted using only the finest of materials and identifiable by the crystal-like star icon and embroidered Shining Stars logo on the paw pad...and the chance to literally become a star by having your name officially recorded with a star in the sky. You can choose from a wide variety of Shining Stars Friends to buy for yourself or to give to your own shining star. Once purchased, you can log on the the Shining Stars website and using the secret code found inside the laminated tamper resistant hangtag, you can register and name your star with the International Star Registry. The name will be offically recorded in book form with the United States Copyright office and the website will show an image and the coordinates of your star. This can then be printed on a certificate that verifies it's exact location in the cosmos. But there's more...for children of all ages, the website is a virtual universe where they can send e-cards, play customized games designed for different age groups and find a galaxy of fun activities. Young or old, anyone who receives a Shining Stars Friend will have a cherished keepsake to treasure forever, as well as their own personal star to shine brightly throughout eternity. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will also be donated to the Starlight Starbright children's foundation. So, reach for the Shining Stars and get ready to embark on a magical virtual journey where everyone can...Wish...Share...Shine!

Customer Reviews

Sweet!
These toys are soft and adorable! On top of that you're giving them a real star! How cool is that? Half of my grandkids are now planning to be astronauts! They use the Nasa site to check on their stars and usually end up widening their search. The teens and preteens really enjoy the game site. In addition to all this a portion of the profits goes to children's charities. I have rarely been happier with a gift I've purchased.

Precious
I was very surprised how soft the toy is. My daughter enjoys learning about the stars and now has a precious horse to snuggle with also.

Birthday Party Highlight!!!
I bought this for my daughters horse themed birthday party. It was on sale for [...] or so with free shipping, which is a great deal! I used it to play "hot potato" with the children passing around the horse. The kids passed it around in a circle until the music stopped, and whomever was holding it had to get up and out of the circle. The last kid standing got to keep the horse. The children LOVED this game...and had me scrambling at the party to find other things to pass around. I would have gotten two of them had I known that it would be such a hit! Much cuter in person than it is in the picture. Very pleased with the purchase!
