Who wants to bundle a baby in a blanket made of synthetic fabric that has been treated with chemicals? Certainly not your customers. Show them hand-woven, all natural fabric blankets from Shi Shu Baby and point out that these blankies are made solely from cotton and bamboo yarn. Cotton has a “strong hand,” meaning it is a durable fiber that drapes well (especially helpful when wrapping a little squirmer). Bamboo has many virtues in that it is very soft and breathable; the fiber regulates temperature and it is said to have antibacterial qualities. Bamboo is a self-sustaining plant, so using this fiber is kind both to the baby and the planet.

The need for a functional, high quality, good-fitting diaper constructed of comfortable, natural fibers is what propelled one mother to take action. Monkey Doodlez did not begin with executives around a boardroom table, but with one mother at a dining room table. Founder Cheryl Yakem named the company Monkey Doodlez because it was the nickname of her oldest daughter as a toddler, and it just seemed to fit the product line. Monkey Doodlez quickly outgrew the dining room table and their products can now be found at nearly 500 retailers around the world.

Jupiter Creations is a company that offers fun toys for kids of all ages. Jupiter’s founder, Michael Katina, worked in the toy industry for years as a distributor, so he had a good idea of what sells. He’s in the process of seeking out more fun and varied products to add to his company’s already exciting line of toys. While the old standards –– dolls, trucks, and stuffed animals –– will likely never go out of style, kids today are gravitating towards toys that are innovative and interactive. While this can take the form of electronic games and gadgets, it can also refer to classic playthings with a 21st-century twist.
