Dual-Purpose Cuddling Toys

The Babyera Cuddling Toy Blanket Provides a Two-in-One Design

— May 13, 2016 — Life-Stages
It's often that children have a favorite blanket and a favorite stuffed animal, so the Babyera Cuddling Toy Blanket is designed to merge the two together.

Available now for preorder on Indiegogo, the blanket toy is designed to be given as an offering to a new mom or as a present for a young child. Coming in pink, blue and gray color options, the blanket can then be used as a cuddling toy and nap companion to provide a dual-purpose design for children and parents alike.

Different characters including a bear, bunny, sheep and dog can come attached to the Babyera Cuddling Toy Blanket and help offer a great option to keep toys efficient. Each of the blanket toys are hand-knit, made from non-toxic cotton and make great gifts.

Trend Themes
1. Two-in-one Designs - The merging of two separate products into a single multifunctional item can revolutionize the way children and parents interact with toys and blankets.
2. Cuddling Toy Blankets - The combination of a stuffed animal and a blanket creates a comforting and versatile product that can be used for both playtime and naptime.
3. Hand-knit Toys - Hand-knitted toys made from non-toxic cotton offer a unique and sustainable alternative to mass-produced plush toys.
Industry Implications
1. Toys & Games - The toy industry can benefit from developing more dual-purpose products that provide added value and versatility for children and parents.
2. Baby Products - The baby products industry can capitalize on the demand for innovative and multifunctional items, such as cuddling toy blankets, that cater to the needs of both infants and parents.
3. Crafts & DIY - The handmade crafts industry can explore the potential for creating and selling hand-knit toys made from eco-friendly materials as a unique and personalized gift option.
