The latest edition of  The ABC Kids Expo was held in Las Vegas, USA. from 10-13 October 2010.

This trade-personnel ony event touts itself as “the world’s premier juvenile products show”, and didn’t disappoint at its latest edition, which brought together more than 900 exhibitors across over one million square feet of exhibit space – that’s one huge event!

KidStyleFile correspondent Mari was our scout on the ground at the show, and today she brings you her first round of show picks, chosen for their innovation and design features.

View Part 2 of Mari’s coverage here, and Part 3 here. Visit Mari’s blog Small for Big for more great show reports.

Enjoy! – Angela.
