Sailing Ship Kites

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Nostalgic Toy is Designed for a New Generation of Outdoor Enthusiasts

— April 12, 2016 — Life-Stages
This nostalgic toy series by Haptic Lab design studio is crafted for curious kids who love the great outdoors. The set of sailing ship kites comes in two different sizes and five colors including yellow, white, azure and navy blue. Inspired by vintage sailboat models and retro flying contraptions, these handcrafted accessories are a collector's item that is guaranteed to result in hours of outdoor fun.

Each of Haptic Lab's sail ship kites is handcrafted and is designed to resemble varying boat styles that are a nod to the past. These historically themed kites are a nostalgic toy that celebrates impeccable craftsmanship while encouraging kids to get outside rather than playing indoors -- a common side-effect of too much screen time.



Trend Themes
1. Vintage-inspired Toys - Companies can innovate on the demand for vintage-inspired toys that capture the attention of curious kids and outdoor enthusiasts.
2. Handcrafted Products - There is a growing interest in creating unique and handmade toys, giving rise to opportunities for businesses to produce and market handcrafted products.
3. Screen-time Alternative - Brands can innovate on the need for alternative activities to engage kids, pushing them away from technology and encouraging them to spend more time outdoors.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Manufacturing - There is an opportunity for toy companies to produce nostalgia-inspiring products that will pique kids’ curiosity and get them excited about outdoor activities.
2. Crafts - Businesses offering handmade craft products can capitalize on the demand for unique and one-of-a-kind items in the children’s toys space.
3. Education - Companies that promote outdoor education can utilize the sailing ship kites as tools to encourage kids to learn about marine history while having fun outdoors.
