Anyone looking for new products in the field of toys, motor skills, clothing and accessories should stop by in Hall 3A. The Spielwaren has reserved a special area for young companies only. This joint stand is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology and the exhibitors are full of fresh ideas. We introduce some of them.

BionicToys enters the trade fair stage with a completely new construction toy. The company has developed a flexible construction toy with which children can recreate various movement apparatuses of the animal and plant world. The sets for the retail market have been completed just in time for the International Toy Fair. Founder Marcel Pasternak: “With its international appeal, the Nuremberg International Toy Fair is an ideal platform for demonstrating the innovative power of our products to customers and traders. In addition, we finally got our patent approved in many countries of the world in 2019, so that we can now also offer exclusive licenses for the retail and education market”. (Stand 3A D-04)

The company has designed a foldable and compact sand toy set with a small packing size, which is patent pending and will be shown at the fair for the first time.

Metallica as a sleeping aid? This is possible with the new music box concept Rock my Sleep. Owner Michael Heimrich promises Rock & pop lullabies instead of LaLeLu. And hits the nerve of parents with the soothing acoustic lullaby cover versions of well-known songs: “The crowdfunding campaign aimed at the DACH region was extremely successful,” reports Heimrich. “Within a few hours, the first funding goal was achieved. Expectant mothers and fathers of future music fans ordered over 650 music boxes as part of the campaign. Rock my Sleep was able to prevail against ten startups from Baden Württemberg as the overall winner in the L-Bank’s MikroCrowd competition with the highest funding amount and the highest number of supporters”.

The stacking stone from joboo promotes motor skills. It is light, stable and can be used as a toy, sports equipment or stool. Hannah König from Team Stapelstein: “The International Toy Fair is purely a trade fair and therefore a valuable meeting place for us to talk to dealers from all over the world. Thematically, the focus here is on the versatile play experience that children and adults appreciate at the Stapelstein.  joboo was already present at the toy fair last year. The response was very good, interested parties from all over the world came to the stand to get information. König: “The stacking stone lives from its physical presence. The innovation of the still unknown object can only be fully grasped by touching it and trying it out. This applies both to our end customers and to the dealers who represent our product”.

Smart accessories for children can also be found at the joint stand of the young innovative companies. The Kianii UG presents the Blinkbutton Bliings. CEO Sabine Schmekel-Meininger on the story behind the waterproof flashing lights: “My children absolutely wanted flashing shoes. So I thought to myself, why isn’t there a Blinkbutton that can be attached to any shoe, whether lace-up or Velcro, and that works just like a blinkbutton shoe? Since I found nothing, I decided to develop one myself! Now children can change their favourite shoes and parents can turn their shoes, which are healthy for children’s feet, into Blinkshoes in seconds. And also choose an individual design and stick it on the bliings.” (Stand 3A D-08)

The young company Hukipax, which has only been on the market since December 2019, also designs real eye-catchers. Jaques Mauerhoff, who is responsible for sales and product development, reveals more: “Our products are lifestyle products for children in the broadest sense of the word, and the theme is ‘wearing while playing’. We offer children’s backpacks and shoulder bags that are visually reminiscent of plush dolls and are therefore particularly appealing. We as parents also know that even kindergarten children want to have their favourite things well stored with them”. So the bags have arms and legs, a cuddly face and can be cuddled - like real cuddly toys. (booth 3A - C07)

Pure nature - this is the recipe of Ankerstones. The stones are made from chalk, quartz sand, colour pigments and linseed oil in over 1,500 moulds. Children can build realistic looking houses from them. According to plant manager Ines Schroth, the Ankerstones are the oldest system toys in the world: “The first Ankerstones building set was already available in 1884. Around 1906 the Ankerstones were present in all the imperial and royal courts of Europe as well as in the playrooms at the Tsar’s Court”. Ankerstein GmbH has been managed as an integration company by the AWO Rudolstadt since summer 2017 and has since developed numerous products for therapeutic and educational needs. At the International Toy Fair, the company wants to make international contacts and present its new products to the dealers. (booth 3A D-10)

Managing Director Ingo Hecking: “In recent years we have seen increased demand from toy retailers, who are expanding their ranges to include clothing produced sustainably and fairly in Europe.

It looks like a bird house, the chirping box from Relaxound. Thanks to its high-quality workmanship and child-friendly design, the “Real Toys” working group has already included it in its selected range. Managing Director Philipp Störring: “Since the chirping box was launched six years ago, it has gradually found its way into children’s rooms. As a soothing accessory above the changing unit or as a friendly refreshment in the bathroom, the Chirp Box delights children and parents alike. This year we are presenting the Tweeter Box to the international audience at the International Toy Fair for the first time. (Stand 3A / C-01)

The best opportunity for presentation is the International Toy Fair for playmatt. Managing Director Ronny Graupner: “We want to make B2B contacts and find new partners. All important companies and their buyers are at this fair.” The company manufactures square play mats that can be laid bare. Graupner continues: “These are free of harmful substances, washable and non-slip. Various motifs conjure up an imaginative background among figures, animals, models and vehicles: whether a farm in a green idyll, a road network for a speedy ride in a fire engine, Frozen for little ice queens or an island in the ocean as a suitable setting for a trip on a pirate ship. The interest was very high last year and is already bearing fruit. We hope to build on that this year.” (booth 3A B-01)
