Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to use my Hugg-A-Planet?
This is really up to you and we are always looking for innovative ways to use our Hugg-A-Planets(or HAPs for short), but we do have a few ideas on how to get started making the most out of your new Hugg-A-Planet. First give It a hug, our world needs more. Second, depending on which HAPs you have there are a few ways to inspire geo learning. Use our Baby HAP to test your knowledge of countries, it has all of them, but only the continents and oceans are labeled, then go to your Classic, Pocket or Super HAP to see if you are correct. Once you have mastered all the HAP locations you are ready to pair your Hugg-A-Planet with a more detailed world atlas, then use the HAP to test for capitals and other major cities, we have a few world Maps for you to choose from here.

How do I clean my Hugg-A-Planet?
Hugg-A-Planets are machine washable, however anything can happen with this world of ours so we recommend you tie the Hugg-A-Planet in a pillow case before putting it in the washer, this is an added precaution in the event the fiber filling was to escape during wash cycle, then tumble dry on low settings. As we mentioned above HAPs have gone through many changes over the years, if you bought your HAP before 2012 it is best to surface wash the Hugg-A-Planet, these older HAPs will loose their shape after a wash cycle and you may end up with a floppy Earth. With any Hugg-A-Planet it is better to attempt surface clean first, only put it in the wash if surface cleaning will not remove stains.
