(Newswire.net — October 11, 2014) Princeville, HI — Mottos are flip flops and charms that snap together to help kids express themselves. And they are fun. Kids love to trade, collect and wear the expressive and interchangeable charms designed specifically for Mottos’ footwear. Parents love that they are sturdy and comfortable to wear and also serve a greater purpose than just protecting little feet.
The Mottos™ shoe charms use a one-of-a-kind trademarked and patent pending snap-in, snap-out feature. No other company has been able to accomplish this. With other shoes, the embellishments generally require insertion with a tool and are not easily removed or changed. But Mottos™ are kid friendly making it easy for kids to remove and exchange but they stay securely in the slipper. The special design also makes it comfortable to wear as the charm does not protrude through the strap.
Most kids have a hard time expressing themselves, and that’s especially true for kids with special emotional needs like autism and sensory processing disorder. And like most kids, they hate uncomfortable shoes! Sensitive kids particularly hate having shoe charms rubbing against and digging into their feet. They also don’t like having to ask for help whenever they want to change their shoe charms.
Mottos Founder, Kim White, says, “We want all kids to know that feelings are part of who we are and we can positively communicate that through self-expression. By educating them and providing them with the proper tools, we want to encourage kids everywhere that, ‘Life is all about Expression!’ (That’s our Motto!)”
Mottos was created with kids and parents in mind. Although Kim spent many years in a successful business career, she tells us that her greatest accomplishment is, and always has been, being a Mom. As the parent of an ‘explosive’ child, she became more determined than ever to find ways to help kids with special emotional needs and to help their parents through the ever increasing challenges of parenthood today. By combining her passion for kids and creativity with her business background and entrepreneurial skills, the idea for Mottos was born!
Kim and her husband, Rock, have been entrepreneurs and parents for many years. They are both successful CPAs as well as parents of 5 daughters ranging in age from 11 to 30. They are using their many experiences at parenting and running businesses, to build MOTTOS.
Mottos has already produced some initial quantities of some of their shoe charms and some sizes of their creative flip flops. These are available on Amazon.com. Now they are ready to take the next steps of expanding their offerings to include other sizes, additional charms and numerous other product ideas for helping kids express themselves in positive ways. They decided to take their ideas to Kickstarter.com to raise the necessary funds in 30 days for these important initiatives.
Kickstarter is a crowd funding source that operates under an all-or-nothing funding model. So if Mottos doesn’t reach their funding goal at the end of the 30 days they walk away empty handed. Be sure to follow Mottos progress on their Facebook page, I love Mottos Flip Flops. And spread the word on their important project on your social media networks. Consider donating as little as $5 to help their project come to life. If you decide to donate more, the special kids in your life may be among the first in the world to enjoy all of the fun Mottos products. They will receive them in time for the holidays.
