On Monday night, June 7, 2010, CBC Dragon’s Den announced the three finalists for the Greenvention contest.   Nursery Natural Baby Wipes of Maple Ridge ranked 3rd from amongst a total of over 500 candidates from all across Canada for her product’s impact to the environment.  This alone is quite an achievement.

A few months ago, we featured Andrea Gregg-Aylott as a budding entrepreneur, so we are naturally excited about her extraordinary accomplishment in being awarded the third finalist for the Greenvention contest.  This is simply a great validation from the Dragons for her contribution to the betterment of our environment.

The Baby Wipe all natural product is a greenvention of Andrea-Gregg-Aylott, a graduate of the Douglas College Self Employment Program, where Andrea honed her business skills.

As a mother of two daughters, Vicki Eklund of Maple Ridge, BC, she found myself being asked to purchase a blue belt for this outfit, a green belt for that one, just endless requests. Inevitably, they could never find the right one or one that wasn’t red with purple polka dots. This happened about 3 years ago, as a result, Vicki came up with the idea to provide children with the tools to produce their own uniquely designed waist belt to compliment any part of their wardrobe. Through trial and error, creativity and imagination, Belt It Out children’s activity kits was born.

Belt It Out Inc. has designed a new and unique children’s activity kit for children age 5 – 15 that enables them to create individual designs using basic craft supplies such as crayons, glue, glitter, stickers, gemstones, etc. This activity kit is prepared in a reusable double sided case with a handle. The children will create their belt on a strip of white styrene and once dry will then insert their creation into a clear “sleeve” to protect their designs and attach the buckle producing a uniquely designed waist belt fashion accessory.

These activity kits are designed to enable children to feel special, proud and unique. All supporting their overall confidence and self esteem as well as providing enjoyment and fun at a very affordable price. Belt It Out Inc. children’s activity kits can be purchased online at www.beltitout.ca

Vicki believes that every child is unique and special and every belt they design will reflect this. The activity kit empowers children to be creative and pro-active.
