Poloppo's Precious Creatures Debuts at Bubble London
Most kids have a natural affinity for animals. That's why zoos are so popular. Creatures are fascinating to small children. They find the unusual shapes, colors and sounds of animals intriguing and entertaining. Most likely they find the limited vocabulary of animals comfortable too; children can empathize with an animal's inability to communicate verbally, and its ability to communicate by other means; a facial expression, a sound, a movement.
A child's ability to identify with animals helps us connect with the preciousness of living creatures - of life itself. Every creature is precious in its own right, but those close to extinction evolve a distinct kind of preciousness that reminds us of the limited nature of our planet - and, if we're fortunate enough, of our capacity to assist in its survival.
We've developed the "Precious Creatures" line of infant and toddler wear (for this coming Fall/Winter) to reflect this sentiment. All living creatures deserve some fundamental respect. If every living, sentient being had some respect for life, there would be a lot more creatures living. But respect for life is something that can take years to learn. Not all two-year-old kids have the respect for life that we world-weary and humbled adults might have.
Nevertheless they do have a fascination with it that we'd be hard-pressed to recover. And that's where kids have the edge.
The children who have made the drawings that contribute to our "Precious Creatures" line come from different families, different locations and different cultures. What they have in common is twofold: raw talent and respect for life. That's why they made these drawings, and that's why we want to show them to the world.
The "Precious Creatures" collection and exhibit kicks off Tuesday January 22nd at the Bubble Kids' Trade Show, Olympia, London. We hope to see you there, or at Bubble NYC, March 9,10,11.
