I’m in New York this week for the American International Toy Fair, the largest toy trade show in the Western Hemisphere. I’ve been coming to Toy Fair since 1993 when I first introduced a line of educational science toys to speciality toy market. My first Toy Fair was an eye-opening experience. More than 1,500 manufacturers, distributors, importers and sales agents from 30 countries showcase their products. How could my first science toy invention called SQUIDY ever stand a chance being noticed? We were just a drop of water in a huge ocean!

Twelve years later I’m still just a drop of water in a huge ocean, but I’ve learned how to ride on some of the ripples that a drop of water can make. I’m excited to release 6 new toys and science kits this year through a company called Be Amazing! Toys. I’ll share some of the toys with you in the next few days. I’ll also be visiting with other inventors and toy creators finding the latest and greatest new discoveries to share with you. I’ll post immediate pictures to my blog through a technology called Moblogging - a special way to post photos to a blog through a camera phone.

Stay tuned… we’re bound to find a bunch of new things in New York!
