Teething is a frustrating experience for toddlers and parents alike, given that the time brings swollen gums, biting, and excessively fussy babies, however with the POPPIES suction cup teething toys, the process is a whole lot easier to get through. The toys are currently being promoted on Kickstarter, and the Bartels, the parents behind the campaign, hope to have the project fully funded by March 29th.
As POPPIES have a suction cup coating, they can be stuck onto almost any surface, and are simply lifted up to remove. When the toys are stuck to and removed from a surface, they make a popping noise that is enjoyable to toddlers. In addition, the flat build of POPPIES and their compact size makes them easy to travel with, as they can be clipped onto a toddler's clothing, or thrown into a bag. Importantly, the teethers are easy to clean and don't retain any water, meaning that parents don't have to worry about harmful mold growing inside of them.
