Independent designer and former schoolteacher, Jen Hopwood, combines her understanding of child development with design expertise in new kids collection. T-shirts and pillows feature interchangeable, snap-on animal embellishments that allow children to make style decisions while improving their small motor skills.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 11, 2006 -– Jen Hopwood knows kids. Before turning her sights on the world of handcrafted design for women and home with myperennial, she taught the choosiest, most stylish kids of New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood. Now she’s bringing her smart design expertise and careful handcraft to the littlest masses.
Combining early educational skills with modern style is at the forefront of Jen’s designs. Myperennial t-shirts do more than just adorn: they teach. With graphic animal embellishments that snap on and off, children flex their small motor and decision-making skills. With a top from myperennial, getting dressed is a snap: a chunky snap perfect for little fingers! Kids decide, “Do I feel like a monkey or a kitty today?” In sizes three to six, both boys and girls will love these soft, comfortable, 100% cotton tees. Parents will love that the tops are durable, machine washable and sweatshop-free.
Too cute to contain on tees, Jen has also made the snappy embellishments available on handmade pillows that transition from nursery rocking chair to big kid bed with style. Each pillow has multiple snaps so children can arrange and rearrange their animals until they are satisfied with the design. Never has there been a better time to work on hand-eye coordination than being sent to bed without dinner! The sturdy canvas pillows are available in a range of bold colors and are stuffed with a high-quality, allergy-free insert.
Bonus snap animals add to the fun of these tees and pillows. Jen knows that kids who have choices develop better decision-making skills. For even more options, myperennial offers bonus snap packs that coordinate with both the tees and pillows. These exclusive animal snaps round out the kids collection.
Remembering her own small motor development, Jen muses about the new line: “Growing up, I remember fumbling around with my Dressy Bessy doll. I could tie the shoes and button the overalls, but that darn snap always eluded me. I want very much to bring this skill to children in a more purposeful way. Kids take pride in what they wear, especially when they’re able to make and implement the decision for themselves.” Combining her understanding of children with her accomplished designs, Jen Hopwood is excited to debut this new line from myperennial.
