Attorney Jeremy Richardson, a partner at the NYC-based law firm of Phillips Nizer LLP, is a familiar face at children’s business trade events, including the ABC Kids Expo and ENK Children’s Club. At the recent ABC Kids Expo, he helped educate the children’s industry about how Phillips Nizer can help in legal issues of concern to the children’s fashion and juvenile products industries, with emphasis on the compliance challenges brought about by the often confusing CPSIA, as well as licensing agreements to support partnerships and profitability for both licensors and licensees.

At the recent ABC Kids Expo, SwaddleDesigns CEO and designer Lynette Damir, RN introduced the new Angry Birds collection that has found happiness on swaddle blankets, one-piece rompers and more. Dads are flocking to get in on the Angry Birds craze!

Lynette also showcased bold and fashion-forward jewel tones in a variety of shades and patterns on a complete assortment of coordinated or mix-and-match baby essentials, including the Swaddle Duo which features two blankets for both warm and cold conditions. The Jewel Tone collection also features another fave bird trend — owls!

Babies on the go will zip along faster and easier when dressed in time-saving clothes from Zypalong. These stylish and convenient outfits help make dressing and changing baby a snap, or rather, a zip! Zypalong incorporates zippers along the entire side of garments for the fastest quick changes. Happy pants incorporate two zippers, one along the entire leg and one along the inseam so they can open completely. Overalls use the same technique, while breezy dresses have a zipper along one side and a buckle on each strap.

Fashionable swimwear is not just reserved for the rich and famous. With Princesse ILou and Prince Ange swimwear for children, rich quality is definitely a cut above. Angelique Aubrey is the sole designer who started the Princesse Ilou brand in 2005. She then added the Prince Ange line of swimwear for boys in 2008. Princesse Ilou is designed for girls whose princess dream is revealed in bikinis and other branded items. Prince Ange is aimed at small boys with character, who are fun and trendy.

Parents are taking advantage of every opportunity to boost their children’s skills and intelligence levels from the earliest age, and research studies support the idea that music gives children a competitive edge. Music aids in the development of a child’s brain, and may be an important factor in increasing mathematical abilities. However, just listening to music won’t give junior the edge –– he actually needs to learn songs and play instruments. Jamtown, Woodstock Chimes, Hohner Kids, and Schylling Toys know that music needs to be fun, so they draw on a wealth of differing experiences to bring children the great instruments they love to play.

Building bricks are among the classic toys of childhood. Now, block-loving kids can have an even better building experience thanks to BrickStix — specially designed decals that enhance the look of plastic play blocks. BrickStix go on easily and cleanly and simply peel off for reusing over and over. BrickStix also have the advantage when it comes to variety. They offer many themes from space to shopping to city life, and each set is detailed and colorful enough to bring a child’s building project to life.

Sometimes it’s the simplest, most basic toys that bring the most fun and delight. With all the electronic games and battery-operated gadgets available today, a kid sometimes finds it nice to reach for a toy that can be appreciated for its cuddle factor alone. Piggy Wiggies — soft, cute pig-themed collectible toys — definitely fill that need. Piggy Wiggies are available as full-sized toys or mini key chains. The impulse-buy appeal comes from the whimsical, folk-art-inspired designs; each pig has its own unique appearance, with soft fabric ears and “nostrils” made of painted wooden craft flowers.

Gifts that spark an intellectual response and curiosity from a child may have more long-term play value than other less creative choices. In today’s eco-conscious climate, many parents look for innovative ways to bolster kids’ natural curiosity and inspire them to think about others and the environment around them. It was this desire that led Phoebe Hayman to create Seedling, a company that creates kits which encourage kids to use their imaginations and explore the world… naturally!

Parents want their children to succeed, and many believe that a good start includes high-quality early learning experiences. Long before children enter school they can develop foundational skills for reading, language, and mathematics. Companies that produce educational toys have seen a boom in sales. There’s a good amount of educational merchandise for kids, and companies have to compete for the attention of discerning, parents who are looking for appropriate toys, games and learning systems for their young children. The Teach My brand is distinguished as an innovator in early education.
