With products of all sorts from around the world, Toy Fair New York is second in size only to the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany. It’s been a blast to attend, and I’m excited to give you a sneak peek at some of the products we’ll be adding to our offerings at BitsyBirdie.com.
Perhaps the world’s safest rubber ducky, BPA-free, lead-free, and latex-free, this little guy from Dano will be joing our line-up as soon as he rolls off the production line in April.
Zubels’ beautiful line of hand-knit 100% cotton dolls are stuffed with wool and super soft. My favorite is their colorgrown organic cotton teddy bear. The cotton’s rich cream and brown colors are achieved in growing rather than dying. We’re delighted to add them to our offerings.
We’re also delighted to add Yellow Label Kids’ products to our offerings. Their gorgeous hand-knit play items surprise with things you wouldn’t expect to find knitted. New this year is their tea set, complete with cups and saucers, and their cupcakes have become a well-established hit with stylish, safety-conscious moms.

This adorable new line just arrived in store today. The Ecoleekos are here! Until now, I’ve never carried a line without seeing it in person first, but when I saw these in Cool Mom Picks, I knew they would be a great fit. They didn’t disappoint. They are simply adorable, the cutest little faces and handcrafted little bodes. It’s quite possible there isn’t a cuter green toy on the market.

Since the spate of toy recalls last year there has been a reexamination of the types of toys we give our children. Plastic, painted, battery operated toys are being edged out by new favorites.
Wooden toys durably designed and thoughtfully crafted are making a comeback. Quality is king, and attentive store owners are offering more information about companies, manufacturing processes, and the toys themselves.
Making an especially strong comeback are wooden toys, a hot ticket item this holiday season. Our Plan Toys are very popular, sturdily constructed of eco-friendly wood and materials, always with an eye toward education. The retro styling offers a bit of 70′s flare, and I can’t deny that seeing them starts me reminiscing about my own childhood. My daughters have the Plan Toys Airport, and it has been a consistent favorite since the day we opened the box four months ago.
Another new favorite is our Holgate Toys line. They’ve been producing great wooden toys in the USA since 1929 and have seen a resurgence in popularity following the recalls. The styling of their Baby Blocks and Rocky Color Cone is timeless, and their Handeez wooden cars are ingeniously designed for toddler play. (One of their early designers was Jarvis Rockwell, brother of Norman Rockwell.) These toys are built to last.

Hi, I'm Shannon. My passions include having fun with my three-year-old twins, finding great toys free of lead paint, and doing our share to heal the environment.
So I founded Bitsy Birdie, a children's store designed to provide an alternative to big chain toy stores. Bitsy Birdie provides innovative, fun, well-made toys emphasizing safety and quality.
Toy and apparel makers' dedication to children and the environment are important to us. Our mission is to provide safe, high quality, eco-conscious toys along with relevant information to help customers make informed purchases. As a mom of two, I offer only toys I would give my own children.
