The Toys of the ABC Kids Expo #ABCKids14

I am a big kid at heart and I adore shopping for toys for my children. I also love it when I find the perfect gift to give to my family and friends – be it child or adult. Because lets be perfectly honest here, a lot of toys are just as much for the parent as they are for the kid. At least that seems to be the way it is in our house. At the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas this year there were some really fun toys that I had the opportunity to check out and play with and there are definitely some that are making my the kids holiday wish list.

One company at the ABC Kids Expo that really grabbed my attention was sigikid, a family company from Germany. They make some really unique products with serious personality. There are the BEASTS: quirky and fun plush toys. And then there are the ACTIVITY TOYS: they rattle, vibrate, squeak, crackle, and educate. All of these toys are beautiful and entertaining in person and are totally worth checking out.

Then there was the fun bold bright rouxroo booth. These ladies were fantastic and their Tangram Soft Blocks had me at hello and the Square2 Blanket is lovely. No, really… I think I may have shocked Lila and Karina with my enthusiasm for the Tangram toy blocks {I am a total Tangram addict}. The fact that their products are certified organic from field to finished only makes me like them more.

I saw a lot of fox toys at ABC Kids and one of my favorites was Rusty the Fox at the Maison Chic booth. These toys were soft, plush, and ridiculously cute. Rusty the Fox, Harry the Hedgehog, and Alex the Alligator were calling my name and I want them all. From tooth fairy pillows, nap mats, rattles, and blankets Maison Chic had a great selection of unique children and baby gifts.

Like many moms with little ones we own a cloud b product, or two, or six… I have been a fan of cloud b products for quite a while now and was very impressed with their MaxLoveProject that they spoke about at the ABC Kids Expo. Super Max the Turtle will be available in early 2015. They also showed off Charley the Chameleon, a really adorable character.

Speaking of bright lights at ABCKids14, Buggy Brites caught my attention while I was walking the expo floor. Buggy Brites is fun caterpillar that lights up and can double as entertainment for the child as well as help to keep mom and baby safe when out strolling around on rainy or dark days.

It is really fun for me when I find toys that remind me of my childhood. Begin AgainToys made me nostalgic for the toys I grew up with. You know the ones; they didn’t require batteries, they were incredibly durable, and they were more than likely made out of some type of wood. There were puzzles, games, developmental toys and more at the Begin Again booth that would make fantastic gifts for children of all ages.

I spent quite a bit of time in the HABA booth, as I have a baby, a toddler, and a school age child who would love any number of different toys I saw there. The tents were fantastic and all of my children would have a field day with them. The lilliputiens plush toys were fantastic and colorful. But the big thing that spoke to me were the games for preschool age children. My kids love playing games as a family and I do not feel that there are nearly enough preschool age appropriate games out there- these were great!

Then there is Boon, one of my favorite companies with their sleek modern design that works for the whole family. They had some pretty cool looking bath toys that I want to play with! The Pipes stick to the wall and allow water to flow from one pipe to another. Boon is bringing it with Marco the adorable little diver, Cast the fun fishing game, the Fleet of ships, and the Water Bugs you can catch in a net. These should definitely make bath time tons more fun for little ones.

My adventure in Las Vegas at the ABC Kids Expo is not over. There is still more to come - so stay tuned! Until then I would love to hear your thoughts on these toys!

Which toys look good to you?

This is NOT a sponsored post. I was not given product or compensated and no one asked me to write it. While I was given a media pass to attend the ABC Kids Expo I covered all costs for attending this event myself. This is all just me sharing photos, thought, and opinions on new products coming out. I have not had a chance to personally test out every single one of these products.
