▬the goody bags
Every mom
will receive a goody bag. Moms with
VIP
tickets will receive all items in a regular
gift bag plus additional items
designated in
orange
and marked by
 .
 Parents
know that sometimes messiness is the mother
of invention. Do little toy collections
spread out in various rooms of the house or
your car? What if your toy bin unzipped to a
play mat and zipped back up, confining the
toys? That would take the work out of having
fun!
Classic Mini
ZipBins by Neat-Oh!
let your kids take their imaginations on
endless adventures to aquariums, zoo,
mansions, speedways or the land of dinosaurs
and unicorns. Neat-oh!
  Whether
you're out at the park or home in your own
yard, the
Keep Close Child Tracker
from
Safety 1st helps you
keep your child within close range. The
child unit clips easily to a belt or shoe
and the parent unit immediately alerts you
if your child wanders out of the 80 foot
range. Genius!
 Imagine
. . . Instead of formulas and worksheets,
children get to unlock secrets and solve
mysteries. Instead of rote memorization or
rules, children become fascinated with
character stories, songs, and stats which
just happen to reinforce beginning reading
skills. Instead of contrived educational
text, children embark on adventures in the
magical Kingdom of Alpha where they break
codes, solve problems, tell stories, perform
and pretend. Instead of one learning method
for all children, a combination of
strategies is utilized that engages the
senses and accommodates different learning
styles. Presenting
Alphabotz, a multimedia program
for children ages 3 and up, designed by a
parent and teacher to engage and build
confidence in beginning readers by
personifying the abstract concept that
letters equal sounds, sounds build words,
and words tell amazing stories. Through a
proven combination of teaching strategies
including phonemic awareness, phonics, sight
words, and language experience, a cast of
fun, captivating characters provides useful
tools for unlocking the secrets to this code
adults call reading. Each Alphabotz
character represents a sound in the English
language, and wears its identifying
letter/sound on its
chest. These cute, colorful robots have
their own special personalities and
abilities. Children share adventures with
the Alphabotz that incorporate fun, secret
formulas for breaking codes, surprises,
special needs, humor and love, and just
happen to learn about the joy and power of
reading along the way. Applause please! And,
we're happy to report that Alphabotz
just arrived in DFW
and are available at Toy's Unique, 5600 W.
Lover's Lane in Dallas.
  We
adore the bright and colorful
Scrubble
Interchangeable Bath Toy Scrub Set
by
Boon. It's of course BpA-Free,
Phthalate-Free, PVC-Free and offers kids
lots of fun with the three interchangeable
bulbs and textured attachments. Kids can
fill the bulb with water and squeeze it out.
The toys are easy to keep clean, just
unscrew the parts—and they can even go in
the dishwasher.
 
Encourage your kids think outside the box -
the crayon box that is! No more crayons that
roll off the table. No more lost colors.
Brilliant moms have created
Crazyoleez Crayons, a rainbow
of colors all together in one of many single
fun shapes. Bright, colorful, fun!
 
Children will develop great habits with the
Oral Care line from
MAM. The Training Brush
makes toothbrushing easy right from day one.
And with Mum and Dad's help it's even
easier. The brush has a long, ergonomic
handle that allows parents to assist
perfectly with the first cleaning strokes.
It includes massaging heads for massaging
sensitive gums.
 With
three children under the age of five,
Mompreneur Carys was looking for a way to
make meal time less stressful, less messy
and more enjoyable for her children. After
watching more food land on the floor than in
her children’s mouths, she knew there had to
be a better way for them to eat. She had
seen my small children using
tongs in their preschool to help develop
their coordination for writing and thought
it would be a great way to eat as well. Her
search for suitable tongs for children to
eat with came up empty. So...she began a
year long journey to bring
tinytongs
to the dining table. Kudos to Carys!
The
Absorbing Dusting Powder
from
Beginnings by Maclaren offers a
special blend of organic Lavender and Tea
Tree to soothe and prevent irritation, and
organic Cornstarch and Kaolin to absorb
moisture. It can be used under the arms and
in the folds of babies' skin to help prevent
chaffing and heat irritation.
 It's
no surprise that this non-talc powder was
awarded the prestigious Best Organic Baby
Product as judged by the Soil Association at
the Natural and Organic show held at Olympia
in London.
 Mambino

better when there is less waste.

dishwasher safe, and stackable so they save
space too! Kids will love to use them for
dippy sauces like ketchup, ranch dressing,
syrup and yogurt. No doubt mom will find
even more uses for these smart cups!
  We
are used to reading “Non-Toxic” on art
supplies but have you ever seen labels
reading “All Natural” on your kids play
dough, colors, or paints? The creators of
eco-kids believe parents should
never have to worry if these happen to go in
little mouths. Now kids can have all natural
art supplies made from plant, fruit and
veggie extracts. Let your kids get messy
with the
Eco-finger-paint tube. Use
the extra containers provided to mix your
own consistency and eliminate waste. Be

  Moms
have been fans of
Britax car seats
for years and we are thrilled
that Britax now
protects your children
from Birth to Belt. The
Britax
Chaperone infant carrier
offers True Side Impact
Protection (distributes crash
forces, shields from vehicle
intrusion, contains the head and
body, and keeps the head, neck
and spine "in true" or aligned,
to limit injury), Quick-Adjust
Head Restraint & No-Rethread
Harness (easily adjust the
harness shoulder height and head
restraint without disassembling
the harness) and Anti-Rebound
Bar (stabilizes child seat by
minimizing rotational forces
associated with front and rear
collisions). Its Stroller
Compatible Design works with
Britax Chaperone strollers and
other major stroller brands when
used with Britax adapter strap.
You can easily adjust the
harness height without having to
re-thread the harness straps,
and the seat has an
Easy-to-Install Base with LATCH
Connector Storage. It has a
30-pound Weight Capacity, Height
Adjustment Knob (on base) for
proper seat angle and
positioning, Plush, Premium
Cover Set with matching belly
pad for extra comfort,
Easy-to-Read Level Indicators
(on base) that provide quick
reference for proper angle of
recline, an Easy-to-Install
Seat-to-Base Design that
self-guides carrier into a
proper locked position,
Ergonomic Carry-Handle designed
to contour to your forearm to
allow for more comfortable
carrying of your child in
carrier, an Extra-Large Canopy
that blocks wind, rain and
harmful UV rays from baby’s
sensitive skin, a Front Harness
Adjuster that provides
effortless front adjustment when
loosening the harness system,
Built-in Lock-Off(s) that secure
the vehicle seat belt so that
the child seat does not move
more than one inch side-to-side
or front-to-back at the belt
path, High Density Comfort Foam
that provides an extra layer of
padding to gently cushion the
child, an Energy-Absorbing Foam
Liner (EPS) that absorbs and
distributes crash forces,
Premium, Push-Button Lower LATCH
Connectors for a quick, simple,
and tight installation and a
Five-Point Harness makes contact
with the strongest parts of the
body. Britax definitely did not
leave anything out!
The Marathon CS
convertible car seat combines
the Click & Safe® Snug Harness
Indicator with the safety,
comfort and ease-of-use features
that led the original Marathon
to become a favorite of
caregivers. The Click & Safe
provides a solution to the
leading misuse of child safety
seats — dangerously loose
harness straps — by giving an
audible affirmation when the
harness straps are within the
proper range of snugness. The
seat also features Britax’s
revolutionary side impact
protection which uses deep side
walls with energy-absorbing
foam, to shield from vehicle
intrusion, contain the head and
body, and distribute crash
forces in side impact
collisions. This is critical
because approximately one in
four of all motor vehicle
crashes that involve children
occur from the side, and these
result in a significantly higher
injury rate than frontal or rear
impacts, according to the
Children’s Hospital of
Philadelphia.
The newest child safety seat
from Britax® — the
Parkway® SG belt
positioning booster —
introduces the SecureGuard™ Seat
Belt Anchor. The SecureGuard —
also known as an
anti-submarining clip — helps
prevent the child from sliding
under the lap belt (or
submarining) during a collision,
reducing the risk of abdominal
injury. The Parkway SG easily
converts to a backless booster
while maintaining the
SecureGuard feature, and fits
children from 40 pounds and 38
inches up to 120 pounds and 63
inches.The advanced safety
features of the Parkway SG also
help absorb energy in a crash,
offering maximum safety to
children. When used with the
seat back, the Parkway SG
provides Britax True Side Impact
Protection® — a combination of
deep side walls and head wings
made from energy-absorbent
material and an adjustable head
restraint — which transfers
energy away from the child
during a side impact crash.
Approximately one in four of all
motor vehicle crashes that
involve children occur from the
side, and these crashes result
in a significantly higher injury
rate than front or rear crashes,
according to the Children’s
Hospital of Philadelphia. True
Side Impact Protection, combined
with the SecureGuard, helps to
ensure that children are
properly positioned in the event
of a collision, reducing the
risk of life-threatening
injuries.

 In
July we featured the Dream
sleeping system from
Hushamok.
Hushamok's Organic
MySeat

“awake” time. MySeat embraces
the Hushamok modern design with

their products. MySeat can be
used for babies as they become

(approximately 8-12 weeks old).

neck support, and harness system
to ensure baby is secured safely
into their MySeat. The removable

hideaway tether system make it
easy to adjust/adapt for older

of 50 pounds/22kg). MySeat is
designed to fit any of the
Hushamok stands.

  Early
Rider balance bikes are
taking Europe by storm and we
are thrilled that
Tyke Rider is
offering them in the US. The
Early Rider Classic
is the trainer bike with
attitude! With it’s cool,
laid-back chopper styling,
‘fat-boy’ rear wheel and
faux-leather saddle, the Early
Rider Classic ticks all the
boxes for credibility in the
playground. The pedal-free
design encourages mobility and
rapid
development of balance, strength
and fine motor skills in
children aged 2-5 years. It also
develops a sense of freedom and
a broadening of horizons that we
feel helps a young child to
develop and grow. The 12.5″ x 3″
‘Fat Boy’ rear wheel makes for a
comfortable, more stable ride
complemented by a regular 14″
wheel at the front. The Early
Rider Classic weighs in at 10.5
lbs and has adjustable seat
(12.2-14.8″), and reach
(14.7-16.5″) to accommodate a
growing child.
The Early Rider Lite
is the smallest of the Early
Rider bikes, and at only 7.2
lbs, it’s the lightest bike of
it’s kind on the market. It’s
weight combined with a low seat
setting of 11” gives children as
young as twenty months an
opportunity to learn to ride.
The Lite has 12” wheels at the
front and rear, and an
adjustable seat and reach,
enabling it to accommodate a
growing child. The ultra-light
pedal-free design encourages
mobility and rapid development
of balance, strength and motor
skills, even in the youngest of
children.
We are coupling with the
Little Nutty Helmets,
aimed at providing the right
kind of creativity to inspire
children of all ages to want to
wear helmets, rather than being
told to wear them. Little Nutty
helmets are ‘Dial-to-Fit’, just
turn the dial on the back of the
helmet to make it fit your
child’s head exactly. Little
Nutty helmets are suitable for
most children 2-5 years old.
Children love the helmets for
their cool bomber shape and
flashy, fun designs. Parents
love the helmets for their
safety and one size fits all
design.

 We
loved
First Toddle®
from the moment we saw it. This
unique play and development
system gives infants and
beginning toddlers a safer
environment in which to learn to
stand and walk. It then utilizes
more advanced play features to
challenge and entertain children
for months and years to come.
For example, it provides infants
with an opportunity for enhanced
hand-eye coordination and
development (either by itself or
in conjunction with – and as a
segue from – other infant play
mats and activity gyms). It
supports infants and new
toddlers as they more safely
practice standing and walking
skills, and includes infant and
toddler accessories like a fun
and comfortable play mat,
activity tables, mesh tent /
infant crawl-thru, and more.
First Toddle works with several
advanced accessories (including
sports -- football, basketball,
soccer, hockey) to provide an
environment for continued
toddler development and
entertainment. It adjusts to
multiple heights to keep it fun
and challenging for more
advanced toddlers and provide
necessary support for children
who may be learning to stand or
walk at an older age. The
assembly is easy - no tools are
required. First Toddle
disassembles, transports and
stores easily. What’s more,
First Toddle delights parents,
grandparents, and others (and
provides peace-of-mind) as they
watch an infant take their first
steps and practice gross motor
skills in a safer environment
than otherwise available around
the house. |

 Momma
Couture bags are as
sweet and stylish as their
designer - and all are
insulated. We love the unique
Momma's Helper
- an insulated bag big enough to
carry baby’s essentials and
later to be used for kid’s
lunches. It has an easy to carry
handle and can be hung from any
standard stroller hook/clip. The
insulation throughout keeps
bottles/sippy cups at just the
right temperature. Inside are
two compartments: one with a
magnetic closure that fits two
diapers comfortably and a tushy
pad (included); and a second
compartment with zip-closure
that holds a bottle/sippy cup
and has room for a snack. The
Momma's Helper has a wipeable
lining for easy cleaning, and a
side
hook that can be used for keys
or any other baby essential such
as a pacifier or small toy. The
bag includes a coordinating
Momma’s Wristlet. |

pediped™ creates
footwear that most closely
resembles the natural shape of a
baby’s foot. The
Originals™ most
closely mimic barefoot walking.
When children learn to walk they
tend to shuffle, so rubber soles
or shoes with grip, force
children to change their natural
stride and can actually make
them trip. Originals™ have a
durable, slip-resistant leather
sole. They’re roomy so the foot
can move and grip and they’re
flexible so your child can
actually feel the floor. The
hand-stitched leather sole
allows your child’s foot to
breath. Plus, Originals™ have
two layers of the highest
quality leather on the market
today plus a soft foam insert,
so your child’s feet are
protected while they’re on
the move, indoors and out.
Originals™ are the most
comfortable shoe your baby will
ever wear and won’t want to take
off.

Last summer we featured the
vibrant yet cool summer threads
of
appaman,
inspired by designer Harald
Husum’s childhood friend, a
corduroy ape named Appaman.
Today, Husum finds inspiration
everyday on the mean streets of
Brooklyn and translates it into
his ever-changing palette of
vibrant garments. Every season
new pieces are created, and
tried and true favorites are
updated.
The fall collection again brings
us the whimsical spirit that is
appaman. Give your kid some
street cred! |

 Naturepedic
certified organic Mattress
and Bedding Company was
founded by parents,
grandparents and scientists.
When environmental engineer
Barry Cik, went searching
for a suitable organic baby
crib mattress in
anticipation of his first
grandchild, he was unable to
find an organic baby crib
mattress that was also
waterproof. "... if the
mattress were to get wet, it
would grow mold and fungus
without any effective way to
clean it.” Barry, together
with his two sons, set out
to found Naturepedic, an
organic and non-toxic baby
crib mattress company
dedicated to providing
parents with a better
alternative - the first and
only waterproof organic baby
crib mattress designed with
a safe food grade
polyethylene cover, and
which eliminates the
potentially harmful
chemicals with which Barry
was so familiar. The company
has since introduced larger
sizes for the rest of the
family: twin, full and
queen. Made with Organic
Cotton Filling, Orthopedic
Innerspring, and with a
Premium Organic Waterproof
Cover, the Naturepedic
Mattress offers a more
natural, fire-safe,
hypoallergenic, and
non-toxic alternative for
parents. All Naturepedic
mattresses are manufactured
to provide long lasting
heirloom quality
workmanship. Attendees of
the upcoming Best & Hottest
Products event will
experience the quality of
Naturepedic’s
 Twin
Size Organic Mattress.

 Organic
cotton is grown using methods
and materials that have a low
impact on the environment. The
benefit to the consumer,
especially our babies, is the
softness and quality that only
organic cotton can provide. It
is truly unmatched and one of
the top reasons people choose
organic cotton for their
delicate baby's skin. The cotton
that is grown in conventional
ways is compromised and weakened
by the chemicals used in
growing, processing and dying of
the cotton, all these things
break the fiber down and create
a weaker, inferior cotton
garment. That is why you get a
softer, stronger, better cotton
using organic. Organic is a
great choice for you and an
important choice for our
environment.
And
Sage Creek's line
of organic baby clothes come in
a variety of fashionable prints
and colors.
Little rocking horses, mini
bears and charming circles adorn
this
organic
Layette set for infants
from newborn until three months.
Toddler boys will be ready to
soar with the organic "Flight
School" zip hoodie sweatshirt
and pants. |

child loves a game. Why not turn
potty training into a game that
boys and girls will want to
play? The Flush and

reaches their goal. Each Flush
and Cheer Potty™ Chair comes
with an
exciting Reward Certificate,
which you can personalize for
your child once potty trained! |

 If
your healthcare provider has
suggested you count kicks, the
Unisar
kickTrack
helps you do that by solving
the problem of searching for
paper, pencils and misplaced
kick count charts. At the
beginning of your 28th week of
pregnancy, you should begin
daily use of kickTrack to keep a
reliable record of your baby’s
movements. kickrTack not only
helps you count your baby’s
movements, it also stores and
recalls the 10 most recent
sessions so you can provide an
accurate record to your
healthcare provider. It also
counts down the last 99 days of
your pregnancy and shows how far
along you are in your pregnancy.
It can also time your
contractions when labor begins.
If you have a child that
eats often or you are always on
the go, packing for mealtimes on
the road can be stressful. The
Unisar Portable Mini Fridge
will keep your food and drinks
cold at 41° F or hot at 149° F
with a small switch. It holds
six 12-oz cans or jars and
bottles, sandwiches or snacks
and includes an AC and auto
adapter for home or travel,
removable shelf, and recessed
carry handle. This compact and
lightweight solution weighs a
mere 6 pounds! Portable
convenience!

 Because
the Father/Daughter Design Team
of
gogo Babyz found
themselves struggling with the
products they were using, they
improved and developed unique,
convenient solutions for
strollers
 and
car seats that make life easier
and children safer during
travel. Requiring just one hand
to carry, unfold, secure car
seat, and push, the
Infant Cruizer AT
(All Terrain) is perfect for
everyday use, travel, and public
transportation. Its compact
design, maneuverability and easy
push replaces the need for a
stroller on short or
long-distance voyages, in
airports, restaurants, drug
stores, doctor's offices, taxis,
trains and more. The Infant
Cruizer's fold up design and
telescoping handle save a TON of
space over full size strollers.
With the Toddler Adapter the
Infant Cruizer can be used for
years as your child grows. Don't
struggle to carry your baby in
the infant car seat. The Infant
Cruizer is a fantastically
convenient accessory for parents
who travel with small children,
frequently or otherwise.
Compatible with many popular car
seats (see website for
compatibility).
Parents will wonder how they ever
managed without the gogo
Kidz Travelmate, just
as everyone in the world can't
imagine travel without roller
suitcases. The patented design
significantly lightens the load
of parents on the go with babies
or toddlers and all their gear.
The gogo Kidz Travelmate is a
convenient and safe attachment
for a variety of
convertible/toddler car seats.
Instead of carrying your car
seat and child through an
airport, they can now be wheeled
through a crowd! The gogo Kidz
Travelmate is easily mounted or
removed and it allows one hand
to be free. It features 5” razor
wheels and telescopic handle,
stores flat, and weighs 5 lbs.
The quick release wheels provide
extra clearance for storage and
smaller x-ray machines. Just the
thought of traveling with a
child’s car seat is stressful
enough, this is the perfect
solution!

   If
you turned off the television
and hid the remote from a child
you might hear a whole lot of
complaining. But if you replace
the remote with wooden puzzles
and blocks from
HABA you won’t hear
a thing. That’s because they’ll
instantly forget about being
entertained and begin
entertaining themselves. This
year’s newest HABA
wooden puzzles and
blocks are guaranteed
to beat the television every
time. Kids with these great
items will likely invite all of
their friends over and quickly
turn those play-dates into
“block” parties. Our favorites
include the
Cordoba and
Sevilla sets
whose colors and forms are
especially eye-catching 
and certain to inspire children
and adults alike.
The
younger crowd will enjoy the
Zoo Animals Building Blocks
and the
Stack Jack Jesters
Stacking Toy.
And if your young one is not yet
into stacking, s/he is certain
to love
Cory Caterpillar Pull
Toy. Who is cheerfully
waddling through the room? That
is Cory the caterpillar tinkling
his little bell. The waddling
pulling animal stimulates
toddlers to crawl and walk.
Includes pulling string,
kaleidoscope, mirror foil print
and little bell. |

 Being
new parents who travel quite
often, and overwhelmed with all
the additional baggage necessary
while traveling with an infant,
Mompreneur Stephanie and her
husband would often secure their
baby to a seat for meals with
whatever was on hand (initially
using a sarong while in a coffee
shop at the airport). With
inspiration from her grandmother
who used to secure her children
to adult chairs using towels,
she made multiple trial versions
of a compact, fabric, baby sling
style harness that secures an
infant to an adult chair - and
after lots of trials and
experimentation,
mylittleseat was
born. This compact,
fabric travel chair folds down
to the size of a diaper for easy
carry. |

One of the most unique products
we recently found is the
Proud Body pregnancy belly cast,
a plaster cast made of an
expecting mom's beautiful
pregnant form. Moms can create a
lasting memory of their
pregnancy in the privacy of
their home in as little as 30
minutes. You can show your child
later that this is what mom
looked like when you were
inside! After you make your
pregnancy belly cast, you can
leave it in its original form or
you can paint it, apply sequins,
mirror, tile, beads or any other
decorations. Many moms hang it
as a wall decoration in their
bedroom or in
their baby's nursery. Other moms
wait until their babies are born
and apply paint to their baby's
hands and feet and put the
prints on their cast. When your
baby is old enough, you could
even paint and hang it together.
Your imagination is the limit!

 The
Skip*Hop
TUBBY is the
perfect place for rubber duckies
and squirty fish to call home.
Made of mesh and neoprene, TUBBY
allows water toys to dry out-and
stay mildew-free-between baths.
Its stretchy, wide mouth makes
toys easy to find and grab, and
its cool design complements any
bath. Easy to secure with
included suction cups on tile or
glass, the hangers double as
hooks for washcloths or scrubs.
TUBBY is BPA Free,
Phthalate-Free, and
machine-washable, as is the
perfectly
paired
MOBY spout cover.
Protecting baby's head from
bumps in the tub, its sleek
design includes an adjustable
fin strap that fits snugly on
most tub spouts, a “blowhole”
that allows for easy access to
shower diverter, and a tail
that's also a handy hook, so
MOBY can hang around when bath
time's done. Brighten up the
bath and
have a whale of a time in the
tub! |

With all the recent uncertainty
surrounding cold medicines, it
is no surprise that
pediatricians strongly recommend
cool mist humidifiers to relieve
a baby and young child’s nasal
congestion as a safe
alternative. Humidifiers also
protect from dry skin, chapped
lips, and nose bleeds. Kudos to
Crane for creating
the perfect Children's
Cool Mist Humidifier to
complement any nursery. The
Crane ultrasonic humidifier
works by using high-frequency
vibrations into a very fine mist
and sending it into the air
without heating the air, so
there is no danger of steam
burns because the water is cool.
The humidifier's one gallon
water tank runs up to 11 hours
and can be set to automatically
turn off when the tank is empty.
We love the
whimsical animal designs, which
include the above duck, cow and
pig. Style and function. |

products from Eazz Baby
Wraps, these hypoallergenic

 A
breaker trips. The power goes
out for another reason. After
all the scrambling, parents have
likely forgotten that mom had
the hair straightener or curling
iron turned on. Or that the
vacuum cleaner was running. The
power returns and the appliances
that had been turned on are
activated again. The vacuum
cleaner takes off on its own -
is there a crawling baby in the
way? Has a toddler reached the
curling iron? Introducing the
one-of-a-kind multi patented
SafetyGate Consumer Retrofit,
a simple yet revolutionary
retrofit safety device that
prevents home appliances and
tools from dangerously
restarting after a power outage,
breaker trip or accidental
removal from the wall outlet. |

 Car
Seats can get very dirty –
very quickly and very often.
Between spilled drinks,
sticky snack crumbs and
defective diapers we dread
uninstalling the seat to get
that cover in the wash. But
we dread the saggy fit of
car seat covers just as
much. When we saw
bokoo covers
made especially for Chicco
seats we immediately saw the
distinct features that led
to the first of many awards
to come for the company. Of
course they are easy to put
on and take off, and the
anti-crumb design with a
breathable, waterproof liner
is impressive - but what
makes this cover a Best &
Hottest pick is the tailored
fit that has been safety
tested. These eco-friendly
liners are recyclable and/or
organic. Go ahead, pass the
snacks.
Ever wonder how often they
wash those airplane pillows?
Rest easy, these
pillow covers
have an antimicrobial liner
similar to ones used in
hospitals. The outer shell
is made of soft organic
cotton and hemp blend,
perfectly packable for your
flight. |

What are
Wikki Stix? They
are original and unique. They
are safe, non-toxic, and
endlessly reusable. They are
more fun than a toy and more
creative than a craft, a great
teaching tool and easy to use.
They are anything your child’s
imagination wants them to be.
Wikki Stix are made of a strand
of acrylic, hand-knitting yarn
enhanced with a
microcrystalline, food-grade,
non-toxic wax. There is no
latex, nor any peanut or nut
oil. The wax is similar to that
used in lipsticks and on food
products. Great for 3-D
activities, they stick to each
other and almost any smooth
surface with just fingertip
pressure, yet clean up with just
a quick wipe with a dry cloth or
paper towel. For almost 20 years
Wikki Stix have inspired and
entertained children
while bringing peace, quiet and
joy to parents. Dozens of themed
activities or travel packs are
each a hit with us, and with the
After School Fun Kit,
it will be a long time before
you hear “Mom, I’m Bored!” or
before you say “Turn that down!” |

  A
bECOpotty from
trendyKid starts
life as bamboo and rice husks,
which are left over material
from farming. The ground
extracts are ground into a fine
powder and mixed with a
biodegradable resin and pressed
into a hot mold and the
bECOpotty is born! The
ergonomically designed bECOpotty
is comfortable and easy to use.
The high back offers extra
support, large splash guard
helps keep potty training
hygienic. When finished using,
bury it in your garden, plant
some seeds and let the natural
product biodegrade and feed your
new plant life, helping the
environment with less landfill.
Almost takes the stink out of
potty training...
Holiday travel with the kids
will be more fun with the bright
new Ladybug and Tiger
Trunki, the only
‘ride-on’ children’s suitcase on
the market made for globe
trotting kids and parents who
know the stresses of having kids
in tow at the airport. Trunki
will provide the young little
traveler with a safe place to
store in flight essentials for
the flight to Grandma’s house,
crayons, DVD’s books, snacks,
iPOD, blankie and other personal
favorites up to a 5-gallon
capacity and is carry on
approved. And when children are
tired of pulling their suitcase,
they can ride their Trunki or
get mom or dad to pull them to
the gate. Trunki is durable and
can hold up to 110lb capacity so
you can even double up with
little sister on the back.
Trunki has a practical shoulder
and pull strap for parents to
pull for the last gate call and
can easily be shoulder carried
weighing less than 5lb. “All A
Board!” Trunki is available in
child size (3-6 year olds). |
