For Kids By Parents®, Inc. was created out of the need to solve a particularly annoying parenting problem with my oldest son in his potty training phase, peeing through the gap between the toilet seat and bowl. My attempt to solve this problem resulted in the creation of our 1st product, the P-flector®, which is our initial contribution to the juvenile products industry.  

Made in the USA and winner of Creative Child Magazine’s Product of the Year (2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019), Baby Maternity Magazine’s 2022 Top Choice Award, and 2021 Mom’s Choice Award, the P-flector® is a flexible urine shield that attaches to the underside of a toilet seat and blocks the gap between the toilet seat and bowl, preventing seated potty-training kids from peeing through the gap.  The P-flector®’s flexibility allows it to conform to the shape of both round and elongated toilet seats with either flat or curved bottoms. It’s attached to the seat with pressure sensitive double-sided tape and once attached, it can stay in place for extended periods of time; how long depends on individual use.  While the tape is not permanent, additional tape is available to reapply as needed.

The P-flector® keeps potty training kids’ clothes and floors dry; say goodbye to cleaning up urine puddles, yellow stains down the front of the toilet or yellow stained floors in front of the toilet.  The P-flector® can also be used by seniors and individuals with special needs.  It’s easy to attach, can be cleaned in place and saves parents and care-takers time and avoids the frustration of cleaning up the mess associated with this type of potty-training accident.  The P-flector® and additional tape are available on Amazon.

The English language is considered a complex language to read, pronounce, and write. It is crucial that children have a strong foundation in phonemic awareness, segmenting, and decoding for reading success. If not, parents may encounter their children memorizing words while reading, eventually discovering that they are ineffectual readers as early as second grade.

Children know when their reading ability does not advance and they quickly lose confidence. Carrie Chapie, Owner of Darling LLC and Creator of WORD WITT, found that this situation was not uncommon. This motivated her to research the science and mechanics behind reading. Children need fun ways to elevate their confidence and foundational reading skills. EVERYONE Learns when they are having fun.

WORD WITT is not Boggle, and it’s not Scrabble… it is it’s own fresh new format. A fast, FUN, and competitive game for building foundational reading skills in school age children all while keeping word-loving children and adults engaged and thinking.

Roll the dice. Flip a card, Race to create the most words in a minute. A wonderful way to ignite laughter, connection, and the urge to play over and over again to beat your score and theirs!

Created by a parent and supported by educators. WORD WITT has won the Oppenheim Gold Seal Award, PALS Top 10 Award, PALS Award, Creative Child 2021 Game of the Year Award, and endorsed by University of Michigan’s Dyslexia Help.

Darling LLC is proud to announce they have been able to shift 90% of their next round of manufacturing of WORD WITT to Michigan/USA. Although Covid had made connecting with retailers challenging, Darling LLC is looking forward to continuing to partner with community, and educationally engaged toy and speciality stores.

In celebration of the 120th Anniversary of the world’s favorite toy, legendary plush brand Steiff has declared 2022 as “The Year of the Teddy Bear.”

After nearly two years of the pandemic, there’s never been a better time to give a Teddy bear a hug, so this is the perfect opportunity for retailers everywhere to make Steiff products the centerpiece of their plush business.

“Teddy bears are frequently lifetime companions for their owners,” said Jim Pitocco, President of Steiff North America. “They become a best friend that has experienced a child's milestones at every age and stage of their life. The varying emotions that come with such a significant role is something we feel honored to be a part of.”  

During the company’s year-long celebration, several new Teddy bears, animals, and famous licensed characters are making their debut through a series of consumer contests, social media campaigns, and special events.

“This is an exciting time for Steiff and for our retailers,” said Pitocco. “We are continuing our long-term partnership with Disney, our affordably priced ‘Soft Cuddly Friends’ line remains a tremendous success, and we have collaborated with iconic brands Neiman Marcus and Marc Jacobs to create unique products that appeal to young, fashion-forward collectors. The breadth of our line allows us to offer items that appeal to all kinds of consumers.”

Pitocco says that the company’s repositioning as a toy brand in 2018 was a turning point for the business, crediting their Soft Cuddly Friends line as a true breakthrough.

“Along with our unique partnerships with popular street brands and our commitment to creative collaborations, we’ve been able to live up to our proud legacy while remaining innovative to a whole new generation of Steiff fans,” said Pitocco. “For a company this rich in history, that’s something worth celebrating.”
