Glo Worm Gift Ideas

Glo Worm was a stuffed toy designed by Hasbro’s Playskool and first introduced in 1982. The body contained a battery-powered device that lit up the toy’s vinyl head when squeezed. This created a soft, comforting glow. The original toy was so successful on release that Hasbro soon after created a series of storybooks, night lights, videos and other merchandise. In 1986, Playskool released a number of toys that also glowed but were made of soft vinyl. They are known as “The Glo Friends”. Their names were: Glo Snugbug, Glo Snail, Glo Doodlebug, Glo Bug, Glo Grannybug, Glo Clutterbug, Glo Bashfulbug, Glo Butterfly, Glo Bopbug, Glo Cricket, Glo Skunkbug, Glo Bookbug, Glo worm, and Glo Nikkibug. Glo Worm continued to be popular into the early 1990s. Explore Glo Worm gift ideas, products, and merch section.
