Imagination kicks in. Marketing studies are done. The backers come on board. A trend is born. Having followed this formula, gardening, now America’s No. 1 pastime, is inspiring numerous products targeted toward children.
Through some law of nature, entrepreneurial minds often strike similar notes and, as in fashion, we are seeing these garden-inspired items everywhere, at every price point.
A sampling here features tables and chairs to brighten a bedroom or playroom, colorful yet practical drawer pulls, a picket fence that we converted to a headboard, rubber boots just waiting to be bonded with and pillows and finger puppets that simply are warm and friendly.
If you think about it, using the imagination to inspire a child’s world is what it’s all about, bottom line.
