Last month while at BlogHer, I felt like a kid in a candy store giant toy store when I got to attend a Juno Baby Brunch at FAO Schwarz. Prior to the brunch, my knowledge of Juno Baby was limited to an iPhone app that my son plays, so the brunch was a great way to learn more about Juno Baby directly from the creator and executives passionate about the brand. Since the event, my kids have been enjoying the Juno Baby DVD samples we received and my daughter has a new favorite doll.

Juno Jr. Launch at FAO Schwarz
Last weekend, the Juno Baby Company celebrated the launch of Juno Jr. with a celebrity-filled party at FAO Schwarz. To introduce its new brand for pre-schoolers, Juno Jr. is all over the famous FAO toy store from its display windows to 20′ Juno Baby towers as you enter, giant light-boxes as you go up the escalator and Juno displays throughout the entire store.
The new line Juno Jr. targets growing pre-schoolers, focusing on music, education, and appreciation through a variety of storylines. The Juno Company creates products that develop a lifelong appreciation of music. The Juno Company lines include DVDs, CDs, plush toys, and board books and the products are aimed towards children ages 12 months to 5 years.
Juno Jr. Party
The Juno Company co-founders Belinda Takahashi and Adam Adelman along with CEO Barrett Cohn and celebrity moms and moms-to-be enjoyed the company of Juno and friends at the launch party over the weekend. Here’s some inside scoop from the party,
“A lot of our friends are having babies and one of them gave us the Juno Baby DVDs to watch and we instantly fell in love with them,” mom-to-be Melissa Rycroft, host of Bachelor Pad, said. Her baby update? “We don’t know what the sex is yet, but we’re slowly starting to put together a nursery–we can’t wait to fill it with Juno Baby and Juno Jr. DVDs and plushes for him or her.”
Elisabeth Röhm (from Law & Order and Heroes) and her daughter Easton played with the puppets on display and nibbled on Juno Baby cookies. “My two-and-a-half year old daughter and I are already part of the Juno Baby family and have been for a while,” the star said. “Juno’s her best friend and she’s learning to express her feelings through music which is really the best part of it all.”
