Exotic Animal Rockers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Rocking Zebra by Newmakers Exposes Kids to the World

— August 25, 2012 — Life-Stages
It can be safely agreed that the world is a much smaller place now, so why not expose children to that idea with toys such as the Rocking Zebra. Replacing the traditional horse with something a lot more exotic, the Rocking Zebra will widen children's imagination, especially when they notice that there are no such creatures in their immediate vicinity. By the same logic, kids who would be exposed to zebras should maybe play with a Rocking Horse.

Designed by UK-based Newmakers, the Rocking Zebra may be a contemporary creation, but it is full of classic cuteness. The rounded stripes accentuate the large eyes at the front, giving the Rocking Zebra a cartoonish appeal that many children will undoubtedly appreciate. It comes flat-packed and boasts a scratch-resistent surface.
Trend Themes
1. Exotic Animal Toys - Businesses can develop a line of toys featuring unusual and unique animals to spark kids' imaginations and increase their awareness of wildlife diversity.
2. Flat-pack Toys - Toy manufacturers can create affordable and eco-friendly options for parents on the go by producing flat-pack toys that are easy to assemble and store.
3. Contemporary Classic Design - There is an opportunity to attract both children and parents by creating toys with modern designs based on beloved classic characters, making them both nostalgic and trendy.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Manufacturing - Companies can capitalize on the demand for unique and eco-friendly children's toys by manufacturing their own lines of flat-pack, exotic animal-inspired items.
2. Educational Toys - Education-focused toy makers can incorporate conservation and environmental messages into their products to increase children's awareness of endangered species and environmental issues.
3. Home Decor - Home goods manufacturers have the possibility to create animal-themed furniture pieces like the Rocking Zebra. These unique designs can add a touch of whimsy and childlike wonder to home decor.
