Move over Tooth Fairy and that elf lying on some shelf. Happy The Birthday Bird ($39.99) has landed! Happy is here to create an annual tradition for the one 24-hour holiday that every kid celebrates no matter where they live, how they pray, or family income. Incredibly, the toy industry has not come up with a Happy Birthday-centric toy until mompreneur Monica Goodson walked around the American International Toy Fair earlier this year. She just knew she had something special to share with children everywhere.In fact, it was one of those ideas that retailers and parents say in retrospect, why didn’t I think of that? Jersey Shore shoppers in Ocean City, NJ are the first to see Happy The Birthday Bird at retailer Salty Treasurers. Online and in-store orders are “flying” off the shelves.
About The Creators
“Happy The Birthday Bird is a plush toy and book set inspired by my son Mylen for his 8th birthday,” explains Goodson. “Happy’s story creates a family ritual and countdown to every child’s birthday. Start a week or so before their special day to make this birthday the most memorable one yet!”
Happy The Birthday Bird • Ages 3+ • $39.99

Here are our thoughts on Happy The Birthday Bird;
My daughter’s birthday is in just a few weeks and we are stumped what to get her. I love the idea of starting a new tradition!
This sounds like really cute bird. I need to check it out. May I can start a new tradition for their brithdays.
This is a super cute way to celebrate your child’s birthday. I’m afraid next year my son will be too old for it but maybe not. He will be 10 next May.
That is a really cute idea! I am always trying to rack my brain for birthday stuff.
That is definitely a nice tradition to have for a child’s birthday. I am going to find out if Happy The Birthday Bird is available here in my country. I hope so! My grandson will be celebrating his 5th birthday in December so it would be nice if I could find this.
How cute is this Happy the Birthday Bird. I am sure that my kid will be happy to receive it!
looks like such a cute book. i’ll have to look into this one a little more.
Happy the birthday is so cute, you will sell a lot of these for birthdays and christmas time.
How cute is that lil guy? I think my kids would be thrilled to celebrate their birthdays with him.
My daughters both have a happy birthday bird and they love it. It’s such a great idea. We’re going to bring it out when it’s closer to their birthdays as a tradition. They love it.
This is so cute! I’ve never thought about doing anything like this, but these days, you have to make birthdays special any way you can…
This is adorable! I’d love to buy one for my kids, they will surely love this!
OMG this is a cutest tradition for a birthday ever! I would so totally love giving the happy the birthday bird as a new tradition and gift to my kids.
This sounds like such a cute tradition to start around birthdays and who doesn’t want something special to keep going over the years too.
I love that the orders are flying off the shelf. 🙂 This sounds like a wonderful way to make any birthday extra special!
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. I wish this had been around when my kids were younger.
