The fabric of the children’s industry is changing. Production quantities are being influenced by cautious pre-season orders and demands for more immediate buys.

Combine this with advancements to incorporate a wider range of colors and fashionable styling into organics, and you have a recipe for success.

For centuries, mothers in India, Thailand and Cambodia have used beautiful bell-adorned anklets to ward off bad spirits and keep track of young children. Alerted to the movements of their babies by the jingling bells, parents could constantly hear their wandering tots. These anklets are the original baby-tracking device! The Giggle Guide® sounds off on two bell-brands, Bumble Bells and Baby Emi, that have been inspired by the fashion and the function of this age-old tradition.

Colors can affect mood and reflect our personalities, both in what we wear and the palette chosen in our homes. Using paint, we can enhance our living environments with an endless spectrum of hues, and the classic white walls of the past are becoming awash in a myriad of color. Color is therapeutic. Studies show, for example, that spending just 15 minutes in a pink room can noticeably reduce depression, while green can significantly reduce levels of anxiety.
