Love Canadian Products…

Thanks to Savvymom for introducing me to this new Canadian site.

Being a huge canvasser of making children as independent as possible, this site and their products caught my eye immediately.

Happy Helperz is a brand new company that makes products that help moms. But more importantly, it helps to shape kids into the right kind of helpers we all dream of – happy and independent ones.

Happy Helperz fosters independence by empowering kids to do things on their own. That, in turn, builds self-esteem, confidence and happy children who help their mom.  Check out the self-set placemat, the backpack buddy and the tidy toy labels. Fantastic new products!
