We just returned from a whirlwind trip to the NY International ToyFair ... a business pilgrimage we have been making for many, many years. As always, we were delighted with the new toys and games that both the big companies and small companies presented.
With the downturn of the economy we weren't sure if there would be much show traffic but the energy was great and the traffic was good. Hopefully, the manufacturers are experiencing some solid sales, as the show continues until tomorrow, February 17th.
Some of the most memorable things we saw this year were:
Exciting new Water & Sand" tables by Step 2. One actually has a faucet that draws water from the "sink" area. Kids will love this one.
A really fun game from Gamewright got our attention and we're looking forward to playing it with the kids. It's called Ring-O Flamingo and it is a new spin on a tabletop ring toss game.
We also loved some of the new items featured by Anatex, especially their Roller Coaster Rocket Table and the Submarine Wall Play Panel.
Of course, we would always like to bring home everything from the HABA display ... such great European toy design. And there were many, many exciting construction toys with different types of connecting systems ... lots of fun toys that will soon be in stores. It appeared that the Kids market is alive and well and much excitement still surrounds this fun venue.
We will be featuring new Toy reviews and updates soon on both Mommie911 and ZiggityZoom so stay tuned.
