Lisa from Kidstuff PR sent me the cutest trading cards to check out, they are called ChatterChix. Robyn Bard, inventor of Chatterchix, is a former teacher and mother of three who hopes to inspire a whole generation of young females to find common ground in girls from every corner of the country who juggle homework, family, pets and after-school activities…just like them.

chatterchix trading cardsThe first ChatterChik, Emily from Florida, is based on Bard’s oldest child. Bard found that using real girls as models for ChatterChiks made them seem normal and relatable, which helps them better serve as role models to young girls. Beyond the original 50 ChatterChik trading cards – depicting one girl from each state — are ChatterPet™ cards and a lively website (www.chatterchix.com) that offers diary entries, weekly chatter topics and educational activities to get a girl through the day (and night of homework). My favorite ChatterChik? Kaitlyn, of course! Lisa even took the time to open a few packs of cards to find one that had a Kaitlyn, which was so sweet!

Chatterchix trading cards come in packs of 6 mystery cards with rare cards like Emily from Florida, found in one of every 8 packs. So far the company has produced 25 ChatterChik state cards and 10 ChatterPet cards. New trading cards will be released soon. The cards are sold for $2.99 per pack at national chains like Learning Express plus specialty stores from New Hampshire to Louisiana and beyond.
