Chatter Chix Trading Cards; ChatterChix Inc. based in Florida, Recommended ages 5 to 12, approx. Retail from $2.00 to $3.95/per 6 card pack.

While boys traditionally enjoy sports trading cards and other cards based on elements of swapping and competition such as Pokemon there have been very few collectable cards for girls.

Introducing hit trading cards for girls has proved to be easier said than done. Trading cards for girls have shown to be a very difficult faction to get going, never mind sharing the great popularity and stamina that trading cards have with boys.

There are really only two contenders out there now and only one, Bella Sara, can be considered a marketing hit...until now. Well girls, welcome to the world of ChatterChix

ChatterChix Inc., founder and CEO, Robyn Bard, realized that girls were largely ignored in this forum. Her understanding of the significance of positive role models for girls and the impact that they can have on a developing young mind coupled with her life experience as a Mom, Teacher and PTA President enabled her to come up with Chatterchix trading cards. The Chatterchix were inspired by Robyn’s own daughter and are based on the concept that every girl could use a contemporary role model, one who also represents the timeless values of respect, responsibility, and friendship.

Each of the Chatterchix cards features an originally designed, cartoon caricature Chatterchik who represents one of the 50 United States. Every card features a bio for the girl and fun facts for her respective state. There are also 30 Chatterpet cards whose intent is to teach girls about unconditional love, responsibility, and trust. They include a wide variety of animals from dogs to reptiles. Future plans include the release of international and group friend cards, which would feature girls who are part of different athletic teams and civic groups.

We love the concept and the cards and characters are fun. The Chatterchix are based on real girls, with natural, wholesome looks, and varied young girl interests. The pet cards are equally cute, and there is a pet for every taste, from puppies and kittens to bearded lizards and turtles.

Girls can go online at chatter chix.com and check out the characters diaries, play games, ask questions, or even give the girls advice. There is no chat room involved so it seems to be a safe site for all ages. The girls really enjoyed having their own trading cards but would like to see a couple more cards, an activity, and a sticker or surprise in the package. Moms would like a little more trivia or factual info on the cards but overall they were happy with the idea, the cards, and the site.
