Even several dolls and action figures tend to be geared for a worldly child — the child who has one foot in the adult world.

More importantly, they are looking for a kinder, gentler toy. The Happy Nappers are an answer for soft, nostalgic fun.

Kids lead on-the-go lives that zip from one activity to the next. When you offer well-designed clothes that keep little ones looking good, shoppers perk up and take notice. In addition to plenty of style, customers also warm to easy- care fabrics that withstand repeated laundering while holding their flash and dash. Each child is unique, so their clothes need to reflect originality to help them stand out in the crowd. Take note of these companies that feature threads for tots high in both pizzazz and practicality: Persnickety, Mooncakes, and ZAZA couture.
