STEM Toys Set the Global Trend |
|
Every parent hopes to find toys for their kids that are as fun as they are educational, and that is exactly what STEM toys are designed for. Specialising in enhancing science, technology, engineering and maths skills, STEM toys contribute to the physical and mental development of children by making learning fun while advancing peak academic performance. The popularity of learning-based toys are at an all-time high as parents become savvier each day about education. Therefore, educational toys have become a major factor for retailers and manufacturers. At the Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair and Baby Products Fair, industry buyers can experience the latest products and tap into the future of toys that promote both intelligence and fun. |

Hear What Judges Say |
|
|
“This competition encourages exhibitors to unleash their creativity and to enhance the quality of toy and baby product designs. I am happy to see that contestants this year have paid great attention to creativity and environmental protection. For the toys category, I am impressed with diversified designs. Some contestants have converted plane toys into three-dimensional, others have incorporated apps in playing card games. For the baby products category, safety is an important concern, while practicality, creativity and attractive appearance are equally important. I like some of the entries such as a feeding bottle with a thermometer, colourful sock shoes and organic cotton clothes.”
Eugene Yau, CEO, Eugene Group Ltd |
|
|
|
“The Awards helps to promote creativity in the toy and baby product industries. Two years ago, I was also one of the judges. This year I notice that contestants have made good progress in their designs by adding more functions and play value to toys. For example, one of the contestants has created an app for paper puzzle, which increases interaction between parents and children. For baby products, designs should be user-friendly and safe. Among the entries, there are different designs for strollers which reflect the fashion trends.”
Albert Au, Senior Director, Toys/Seasonal/Packaging, TRU GSO (HK) Limited |
|
|
|
“The competition provides a perfect platform for exhibitors to demonstrate their creativity to international buyers and exchange their design concepts. This year’s entries are of high standards and display a high level of creativity. For baby products, safety is the top priority. I like a bath tub which comes with safety features, and a bluetooth night light which is equipped with a music box, allowing babies to enjoy listening to songs. For toys, many of the entries are app-controlled real toys which can stimulate children’s imagination and reflect a key trend in the industry.”
Raymond Wong, Honourary Treasurer, Hong Kong Designers Association |
