Teen Sisters to Launch Curly Petz Kickstarter Campaign

curly petzThe Curly Petz 45-day Kickstarter campaign will launch on Jan. 17, National Kid Inventors’ Day. Invented by Tana and Myla Zapf, the creation won first place at the annual San Diego Inventor’s Forum Contest. The duo secured patents in the U.S. and the European Union for their stuffed animal invention.

Curly Petz are stuffed animals designed as a slap bracelet, which curls around arms and wrists. They also come with a magnetic wall mount for kids to keep them off the floor and organized in their homes.

The Kickstarter campaign will launch with the tiger design, and the Zapf sisters have a manufacturer in place and several more animal designs ready to go.
