Kids Products Focus on Early Child Development

Retailers looking for new and innovative children’s products will find our latest recommendations allow children to grow physically, cognitively and even artistically. They are excellent products to market to parents who take a keen interest in their children’s education and development. From a food cutter which makes nutrition more fun for picky eaters to a finger puppet that helps children navigate touchscreen technology; from rolling stamps for the creation of art projects to backpacks and trolleys for the busy child on the go, these products help make the process of growing up more fun: FunBites, DigiPuppets, Funnybone Toys, and Juratoys.

FunBites Makes Food Fun

FunBites was founded and created by Bobbie Rhoads, entrepreneur and mother of two, who understood the challenges that moms face every day and wanted to make food preparation and meal times easier.

For parents of fussy eaters or parents just wanting to make eating healthy food more appealing to their children, FunBites is a patented food cutter which is easy to use and can transform many foods into fun, bite-sized shapes. Cutters can be used on nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables and sandwiches to get children into good eating habits.

These cutters come in three different shapes and are made with moms in mind: they are dishwasher safe and BPA-free. This last quality is something that safety-conscious moms can really appreciate, as the negative press surrounding BPA continues. Another selling point for many moms: they are also made in the U.S.A. of high-quality, safe materials.

DigiPuppets Adds Joy to Touchscreen Learning

DigiPuppets was founded by three graduates from the Wharton School who are committed to making products that make learning fun for children and get them comfortable with computers and touch-screens, starting them out on skills that they will need in a heavily tech-based society.

DigiPuppets are touchscreen-compatible finger puppets which make it easier for children to manipulate computers on their own and allow them to engage with a variety of education-based programs (also made by the company). The company is interested in setting up children for a lifetime habit of what they call “enjoyable learning,” and this should certainly appeal to parents who are eager to assist their children in their early developmental years.

Funnybone Toys Focuses on the Art of the Game

Funnybone Toys was founded in 2011 when its creators noticed that, though many games were very artistically done, very few put graphics at the forefront of their products. Funnybone Toys was created to put aesthetics first in the making of their games, designing them to be not only thought-provoking and fun to play, but visually pleasing as well.

Parents who are interested in the development of their child’s creativity will certainly be interested in the Rolli Stamp. It is a wonderful collection of pre-formed stamps that children can roll onto virtually any surface and can use in the creation of a variety of art-related projects, including wrapping paper, personal stationery, scrapbook pages, holiday or greeting cards, and newsletters.

One feature which parents will find particularly attractive is its no-mess design – there is no ink pad to stain clothes and fingers. Rolli Stamp comes in an array of colors and designs that will be attractive to parents as well as children.
