The NogginStik® developmental light-up rattle is baby’s first learning toy.  It might look like a cute version of a baby rattle, but it has a powerful agenda.  The NogginStik® was designed to help parents, caregivers and early intervention therapists begin encouraging early milestones in infants. The NogginStik head lights up red, blue and green to stimulate a baby’s eyes and to encourage visual tracking.  The base of the NogginStik makes a soft rattle sound to please the ears.  It has an easy to hold handle for mastering grasping and fun textures to delight the sense of touch. Your baby’s NogginStik® will help you begin to encourage her beginning milestones from the day she is born!

SoapSox is an adorable deluxe bath aid used to bathe children...and adults! Each character is created using soft terrycloth for the exterior and porous sponge for the interior. To entertain children during bath time, each SoapSox character has a fun uniquely designed entry for its soap pockets, which can be filled with your favorite liquid or bar soap. "Finger pockets" are conveniently built into each character for better handling and extra scrubbing power. When you begin to scrub using the soap filled SoapSox, suds form and soap is released from our patented SoapSox pocket. While your child is entertained by the characters' vibrant colors, textures and functionality, he or she is also getting clean.
