Wishkers Information

Wishkers was founded to put a smile on children's faces. Barbara Cadieux knows the importance children place on saving precious memories or dreams so she built Wishkers to help them create very special secret places. Combining her love for children and her creative skills, Barbara offers a series of soft, cuddly animal forms that can be stuffed with memories, wishes and fluffy fill and then sealed with a zipper that can only be opened with a special Wishkers zipper pull. Barbara makes certain that every Wishkers Party Fest is truly festive. She comes prepared to play games chosen particularly for your party, and she is skilled at helping children talk about and write their dreams. She loves helping them stuff their animals and assuring that their wishes are safe as they cuddle their creation. The smiles on the children's faces are always her biggest reward. Wishkers will come to your child's birthday party (within a 50 mile radius) from our central location of Cumberland, R.I. Or, we will ship a "Party In A Box" to your location. Barbara founded Wishkers, after retiring from her position with the State of RI in the AFDC Department. In her role of working with families in need, she discovered the joy of helping children smile and realized that was the work that she always wants to do. Today as a grandmother of seven, Barbara continues her commitment to finding ways to make children "jump up and down with glee" and find happiness in every event.
