Newly Launched Poopasnuffas Baby Clothing Publishes Stories Written by Children
Baby clothing by the newly launched Poopasnuffas line encourages children to write stories about the company's colorful cast of characters.
Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) January 3, 2007 -- Poopasnuffas, a recently launched line of baby clothing, is encouraging children to write stories about the company's cast of characters. The Poopasnuffas collection of colorful, unique, cartoon characters exploded onto the infant and children's clothing scene in late 2006. Designed to make kids smile and melt parents' hearts, the fun and whimsical Poopasnuffas characters also excite children's imaginations. In fact, the Poopasnuffas characters’ stories are written by children. PooPooMonkey™, PooPooDragon™, PooPooPuss™, PooPooPooch™ and PooPooPotamus™ have been brought to life by the enchanting artwork of Kelly Barnett, and their delightful stories created by children.
The Poopasnuffas concept is to inspire children to write great stories about fun and amusing characters and provide an online outlet to publish them. The children’s stories are posted online, and all Poopasnuffas.com visitors can read the ongoing stories. When customers buy the bold screen-printed merchandise, Poopasnuffas ships the featured character story along with the product.
“Poopasnuffas has been a year long exploration of what we could bring to the children’s market that was fun and different,” says Angie Klee, founder of Poopasnuffas. “We had a focus group of children who gave us feedback on the character art. Their ideas were more creative and brilliant than we could come up with ourselves. This stroke of kid-genius has taken off in a big way."
The stories are really what bring the characters to life:
| | - PooPooMonkey is a monkey who struggles in the jungle because he is afraid of heights.
- PooPooDragon has a malady no dragon would want, instead of shooting fire out of his nose, he shoots water.
- PooPooPotamus is a hippo who loves rolling in the pansies, but rolls into a tough spot when she wakes up in the big city, far from home..
- PooPooPuss from Planet Furball is a lazy space cat with an amazing journey in Dogbone City.
- PooPooPooch is on a quest for a cat burger, but a very wise wizard changes his course.
