Grinning, And “bearing” It; Child Friendly Winter Accessories Win Awards

Nov. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- Little Ferry, NJ  - For the second year in a row, BearHands™ & Buddies has received two awards from Creative Child Magazine for their unique and functional line of mittens, scarves and hats. These include the 2009 Product of the Year, for their Buddy scarf & hat set and the 2009 Seal of Excellence for their Youth Small BearHands™ polar fleece mittens.  

The scarves and hats were designed with plush animals attached to snuggle with while leaving a child's hands free to play in the snow.  The mittens are paw shaped, Thinsulate™ lined, with a secret flap that allows you to access your ‘bare’ hand without removing the mitten.  

Creative Child Magazine's Awards are chosen by over a hundred moms and educators that are invited to attend the organized review.  Products are divided into categories, and based on the scores and comments, award winners are determined. Only one Product of the Year winner is given per category.

“Parents can have a tough time finding outerwear accessories that are child-friendly,” noted co-owner, Jeff Golden, “The convenience of our mittens and the companionship of our buddy hats and scarves, are just what kids want, and we are thrilled that Creative Child Magazine noticed.”  

BearHands™ & Buddies products retail for $12.99-24.99 for mittens to $14.99-$29.50 for the scarves and hats. These award winning products can be found on their website, at participating retailers and at the following retail shows:
