Blankz are Ready to Be Covered in Creativity

Children love stuffed toys, and they love to scribble and draw. Mix the two together and you have a winning combination that will keep kids occupied for hours. Blankz from Always Been Creative, Inc. are innovative new toys that allow kids the cuddliness of teddy bears and the creativity of a canvas.

Right out of the packaging, Blankz are plain, unadorned stuffed toys made of sturdy white cloth. But each one comes with a set of specially made colored markers that can be used to decorate the toy in countless ways. The best part is that these fun toys can be washed and colored again and again, giving kids plenty of opportunities to express themselves.

The Blankz come in various shapes, including classic teddy bear, pig, elephant, dog, hare, bull and seal. While the ink is washable, it’s not messy once it’s dry, so kids can use these toys at bedtime.

The toys come with decorating suggestions, but kids have free rein and are limited only by their imaginations. Mom doesn’t have to worry about little ones scribbling too much on these toys; all they need is a ride in the washing machine and they’re ready for fun again. Even grown-ups find themselves tempted to pick up a marker and do some stylish decorating.

Company founder and inventor Gleen Rudin has had his ear to the ground of the toy business for years, and was confident that Blankz were just the right toy for today’s kids. He explains: “Times are tough financially so parents and creative individuals will appreciate a toy that not only challenges their creativity but can be designed over and over again.” “We all possess tremendous creativity; we just need a vehicle to express that talent,” says Rudin. “We’re finally giving children and creative individuals the chance to design their own toy so it can look the way they want it to (look).”

The trend toward hands-on play and toys that bring back old-fashioned simplicity seems to be going strong: www.theblankz.com, www.alwaysbeencreative.com
