CircleSoap
Company: 6 Little Hands, LLC
Product Description:
CircleSoap is handcrafted from gentle, vegetable glycerin and is uniquely molded, trimmed and packaged by hand. A variety of fun shapes are available, including holiday-themed molds each season. Unlike most bar soaps, CircleSoap is made especially for children (but adults love it too)!
Each bar is perfect for little hands and includes the signature "circle" or hole in the middle. While many young children find it hard to use bar soaps and pump-dispensed soaps, kids of all sizes can easily hold CircleSoap, making it an ideal, non-slippery alternative to promote independent washing.

Thumbuddy To Love™ For Boys & Girls
Company: Thumbuddy to Love™
Product Description:
Thumbuddy To Love™ helps children stop thumb sucking (or finger sucking)! With Fireman Fred for boys and Ballerina Sue for girls, each thumb puppet matches the characters in the book and teaches the importance of stopping thumb sucking.
Instead of the painstaking process using toxic chemicals painted onto your child's fingernail, the interactive thumb puppets are meant to be worn day or night and the beautifully illustrated story books are meant to be read often! The calendar at the back of the story book along with stickers allows children to participate by marking off days they do not suck their thumb.
A Thumbuddy To Love™ diploma (Certificate of Congratulations) can be printed off the website once a child accomplishes their goal.

The Pocket Referee
Company: Vraney, Inc.
Product Description:
A version of this decision coin was invented 30 years ago by Jennifer Vraney's father, George Vraney, for use with her and her sister. Jennifer and her sister would stay with their dad for summers and all the silly things they fought about drove him bananas! This coin worked like a charm. Jennifer's sister, being older, figured out the strategy behind it. Jennifer never really did, but that didn't matter because both sisters won in every situation. All their dad had to say was "who has the coin" and that person would figure out what to do.
Two years ago, Jennifer asked her father if he'd be interested in taking the Pocket Referee to market with her, and the rest is history!
