Fall LOVE

In the last year or so I've had a lot of requests to develop wall art for children's rooms. So.... in the spirit of my favorite upcoming season: fall, I thought it would be fun to develop a series of framed ZOO BABIES illustrations in more fall-like tones. So far I've come out with Mr. Foxy and Mr. Bear (shown above) and I'm planning to place them in some-type of environment with the usual ZOO BABIES-type aesthetic. The plan is to develop three illustrations: one for boys, girls and unisex. And, I would like your input. What would you frame in a child's room? I know what I like, but that might not necessarily be the hottest selling item, so I'm curious what you think. Please post your comments below. I look forward to your feedback!

P.S. If Mr. Foxy and Mr. Bear do not make it into the wall art illustrations there is a high chance they will will be added to the ZOO BABIES PLUSHIES in the near future.

ZOO BABIES at FAIT ICI, Montreal

Lot's has been happening in the ZOO BABIES household since the recent launch of our new website. It seems that the new site has brought new interest from various retailers around Montreal. We couldn't be more thrilled!

The other day I stopped by a boutique on the chic Notre Dame street in Montreal, and thought that our products would fit fabulously in their "general store"- type decor. Well, I guess they thought so too. So, as of today FAIT ICI will cary some of our onesie designs! Yay! Check out their blog feature on ZOO BABIES here.

We hope to have some more retail-related news by the end of the month, but I will keep you posted on that. All I know is that there are hours of ribbon tying in my not-so-distant future....

ZOOBABIES.CA Reborn!

After an extensive amount of time we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new and much improved ZOOBABIES.CA website! Hurray! A BIG THANKS to our amazing team of designers and web developers! We couldn’t have done it without you!

The new website now offers detailed information on our brand and products, links to all of our social networks and an improved online shop featuring our full line of products. In addition, you can now learn about each of the zoo babies in the MEET THE ZOO section of the website.

We hope you enjoy the new site and please forward the link to anyone that might be interested. Thank you.

Happy shopping!

ZOO BABIES Plushies are Here!!

After many requests for ZOO BABIES Plushies, I have decided to develop a few prototypes to see if they had any potential. It's been a while since I started this process, and I've finally reached a point where I feel that they should be shared with the public. So here they are: ARRR GODZILLA, AMIGO MONKEY and COU-COU BIRD! I am now offering AARR GODZILLA and COU-COU BIRD for custom orders, meaning that each one will be uniquely made by hand. In the future I would like to produce larger quantities of these, but it will be a long process before I find the right manufacturer (meaning not in China or India). We are currently in the process of developing a new website for www.ZOOBABIES.ca so I'm hoping to offer these online once the website is up. For now I have been taking special requests so feel free to contact me via email at vanja@zoobabies.ca if you are interested in placing an order for a plushie.

New Onesie Photos!

Blog Madness!

The Parenting Blog madness continues! Following our Babble.com review, ZOO BABIES has been featured in another two parenting blogs. Woohoo! Check out our review on Mamanzine.com, a Montreal based blog by a young new mom writing about her experiences of motherhood. Then continue onto InTheKnowMom.net, an up-and-coming blog in Palm Springs, CA, run by two saavy moms. A huge thanks to Geneviève from Mamanzine and Sarah from InTheKnowMom for the very kind reviews! Geneviève's adorable daughter Mathilde is featured above wearing her ARRR GODZILLA onesie. So Cute!

Zoo Babies Feature on BABBLE.COM

Hey Everyone!

I have some exciting news! ZOO BABIES has been featured on one of the largest parenting blogs in the US: www.babble.com!

I found out that they wanted to do a feature on ZOO BABIES about a week ago when my friends at BabyBot contacted me with the great news. As you know, BabyBot.com is a new online retailer of designer baby products and the first online retailer to carry ZOO BABIES onesies. At the time of their site launch, BabyBot had sent out a number of press kits to various parenting blogs across Canada and the US. Babble.com offered to write about them and feature ZOO BABIES as one of the hot baby products sold exclusively through BabyBot.

This is a HUGE step for ZOO BABIES and I'm hoping it will bring a great deal of exposure.

And while we're on the topic of parenting blogs, I also received an e-mail from a new up-and-coming parenting blog in California who has also offered to write about ZOO BABIES. So, stay tuned to my next blog post when I write some more about that. Until then...
