My all-time favorite toy though was a stuffed animal dog that I (creatively) named Puppy and still have today! I would spend hours creating clothes for them, building them homes and “cooking” for them. I had this really old school wooden block set that came with miniature horses that I played with for years! I also loved dolls. This is a toughie because there were so many that I loved! I’d have to say my two favorite types of toys were blocks and dolls. What were your favorite types of toys growing up?

One of my goals in building the Rose & Rex brand is to create a company that’s challenging the assumption that learning is best achieved by completing worksheets at a desk. We aim to be an accessible, imaginative and refreshing resource for all things play-based learning, including toys and content. Inspired by students like Rose and Rex, I wanted to create a brand that promotes skill building and learning through imaginative play with high quality, eco-focused and beautifully designed toys. In reality, play is the single most important tool young children have to develop their social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills. Many people view play and learning as opposite concepts, rather than deeply connected complements. The brand was born out of a desire to start a larger conversation about our culture’s approach to learning. The inspiration for the name Rose & Rex came from two of my first students, Rose and Rex, who taught me what it means to learn through play and inspired me to forever see the value of imagination. Can you share the story behind your brand and its name? Read on to learn more about Allie and her inspiring company. We're ready to take this Fashion Mamas x Rose & Rex friendship to the next level, so we're excited to announced that Rose & Rex will be our official toy partner for 2017! In addition to participating in our Kids Fashion Fair shows across LA, SF, and NY, their high-quality, conscious toys will be incorporated into tons of our members-only events throughout the year. Our members were equally charmed by the company's founder Allie Klein, a native New Yorker with beauty and brains (she has a a dual M.S.ED degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education and is a play-based tutor, no big deal), and a true passion for elevating the playtime experience. The fun continued when we invited Rose & Rex to participate in our first-ever Kids Fashion Fair pop-up shop (they created the most gorgeous play area!) and we also joined their holiday event with The Little Market that same week. We knew the brand was special when they rolled into our event with a magical trunk filled with heirloom-quality toys that our kids truly loved. (FYI, you can also use it on other parts of the body like your nipples for an ultimate toe-curling experience).Last fall, we worked with stylish toy boutique Rose & Rex for our Fashion Mamas Fitness launch party.

In other words, the vibrator, which can double as a decorative set on your table, is powerful whether you're having solo time or spicing things up with your partner.

It's made from medical-grade silicone, it's rechargeable (allowing up to two hours of uninterrupted fun), it's easy to clean, and it comes in pink and purple. The rose-shaped clitoris sucking vibrator (which btw is now an Amazon bestseller) has seven sucking modes that mimic oral sex. Best part? It's on sale for $57 on Amazon right now. It's currently going viral on TikTok (we're talking over 370,000 likes on a recent video showcasing its skills), with folks praising this dainty gem for surpassing every expectation (ahem, basically a mind-blowing orgasm). Enter: The Adorime Rose Clit Sucking Vibrator. If you're all about taking sexual wellness into your own hands (especially after a year of pandemic life) we applaud you and have a new toy to add to your collection.
