Consumer Participation Brings New Eco-Friendly Siliskin Glass to Market Through Kickstarter

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Silikids, Inc., known for children's silicone accessories, releases its Siliskin Glass on Kickstarter. The Siliskin Glass is a glass cup encased in a shock absorbing silicone sleeve (a Siliskin) that makes using glass for kids easy and safe!  

The technology is in the pending utility patent for the Siliskin  which has built in shock absorbers allowing the glass cup to bounce and withstand drops from extreme heights.  You can even see the co-founders tossing the glass off the roof without it breaking in their Kickstarter video.  A major relief when pairing kids with glass ware!

"As two mom-preneurs trying to make glass easier to use and more kid friendly, Kickstarter allows us to get market validation of a product and get customers directly involved. All Backers at the Exclusive Reward level will vote to determine the Kickstarter Color Palette of the Siliskin Glasses," said Stacey Feeley, CEO of Silikids.  "Our experience with previous products from the Silikids brand and business growth has taught us how to deliver from the multi-layered world of consumer goods manufacturing."  

Because the co-founders Giuliana Schwab and Stacey Feeley want their Kickstarter Backers to be a part of the experience, they have been keeping a video journal which can be followed on http://siliskinglass.com/blogs/news. It highlights the project's evolution encompassing the true mom-preneur experience of Stacey, who is set to deliver her 3rd child Oct. 18th in the midst of the Kickstarter / Siliskin Glass campaign.  

"The Siliskin Glass is the perfect alternative to plastic drink ware and a great solution for kids who want to use a "big kids" cup like mom and dad," said Schwab  "Parents can also feel comfortable knowing that moms created the products with the goal of making glass easier and safer to use for kids…and adults…everywhere."

The Siliskin Glass will be offered as a 4 pack in a 6oz glass through various reward and backer levels on Kickstarter.

Silikids, Inc. was founded by two moms, Giuliana Schwab and Stacey Feeley who wanted safer, cleaner and greener products for their own kids, and kids everywhere. Six years ago when Giuliana and Stacey first learned about the toxic chemicals (like BPA) found in plastic feeding accessories, they set out to do something about it and with that Silikids, Inc. and the Siliskin Glass® was born making glass easier and safer to use.
