rose hips, and eucalyptus oils, but she also makes dentistry fun for kids. From her Manhattan Tooth Spa,
Senzon created “Tooth Fairy City Kit” for babies and toddlers, complete with an educational comic book
and a set of crayons.
Chalk Me Up – The “T-Shirts that Talk,” mother, Shelley Henshaw’s kid’s penchant to draw on their
bedroom walls inspired a mobile chalkboard – on their chests. The Chalk Me Up line of t-shirts feature
2. basic “blackboard” shapes silk screened onto the fabric (heart, thought bubble, flower, train, fire truck)
that can be drawn upon with the included 12-count box of multi-colored Crayola chalks. Each creation
can then be wiped off with a damp cloth and something new drawn again. Chalk Me Up shirts come in
sizes and colors for boys, girls, toddlers, women and men.
Comotomo – After stumbling upon conventional baby bottles that looked and felt so foreign to natural
nursing and hearing countless tales from frustrated moms on their desperate search for the elusive bottle
their little ones would take, the Comotomo design junkies were inspired to make a baby bottle that truly
made moms lives easier, and made babies a wee bit happier. Their elegant design effortlessly mimics the
nature of breastfeeding and has caused many moms to refer to the line as “breastfeeding in a bottle.”
Fable Browser-Free Tablet– is a cloud-based mobile learning device exclusively for children. A durable,
browser-free tablet, Fable combines the freedom to explore, learn and play, with the security of private
sharing. Fable uniquely engages children and lets parents and teachers customize a learning experience

Massachusetts and New York.
Fold ‘N Go Elephant Toy - Pack up a portable friend and get ready to snuggle and explore! The floppy,
friendly, and super soft elephant is the perfect companion for little ones. This tummy time friend will lie flat
on most surfaces and has lots of features for sensory play, including a rattle, a clicker, a mirror, a
squeaker, a crinkly ear, and more! As baby grows, the elephant becomes a huggable, soft pal. When it’s
time to take the fun on the go, the elephant folds up into a compact form that fits into mom and dad’s
diaper bag. With his ear doubling as a handle, this small, carry-along friend can also double as a bag!
Gratify- Provides certified gluten free products that are also fun to eat, Gratify makes their snacks not

PRIMO – An award winning product line which focuses on natural, chemical and additive free olive oil

intended to provide convenience to both mother and child. PRIMO’s first product, the innovative EuroBath

box is a combo of great aesthetics and function that also keep vitamins from spilling in your handbag.
