DANO2 Innovates Safe Teethers and Teaching Apps

A pop-art sculptor. An entrepreneur. A chemist. A pediatrician. Meet the Monahans: the intelligent family behind DANO2. The idea for DANO2 came after Daniel and Chelsea Monahan’s daughter, Bella, was born. She began teething in 2007, when news of lead, phthalates, and BPA in children’s products was making the headlines. These toxic chemicals were found to be prevalent in the paints and plastic of those same products little teething Bella had taken to enjoy chewing on. Chelsea encouraged Daniel to protect his daughter and countless other infants by creating safe toys — and so he did.

DANO2 uses high quality medical grade plastics free of all of the harmful chemicals mentioned above. The products, which include a rubber teething ducky and the popular Circus Teethers, are manufactured in the U.S.A., and meet the most stringent safety standards.

DANO2’s newest product is the AppCrayon, Stylus for Kids. The AppCrayon is a rubber magic wand of sorts, allowing children to “draw” on iPads, iPhones, and similar products. It works with all different apps — drawing, coloring and writing apps. Many parents prefer that their young children develop important motor skills by learning to write with a writing utensil instead of their finger, and the AppCrayon is perfect for this purpose. The stylus has a “rubber tip” and a “training grip,” and is appropriate for ages three and up.
