Born in Colorado, ezpz keeps mealtime on trend (and mess-free) with a coral collection of plates, bowls, cups, and utensils. The coral Happy Mat and Tiny Cup are a fun addition to the kitchen this year; made of silicone, the mat doubles as a plate and placemat, and the cup helps transition babies out of the sippy cup stage. $10 cup, $25 mat.

Add a bit of living coral to your home décor with the Pottery Barn Kids My First Harper Coral Anywhere Chair. Made for tots, the chair is lightweight, comfy, and can be personalized with your child’s name or initials. $99, plus $9.50 for personalization. 

We’ve been seeing these simple, stylish Swedish backpacks just about everywhere we go lately. If your tween/teen is ready to jump on the bandwagon, the Fjällräven Kanken backpack in peach pink combines fashion and function in the most of-the-moment hue. $80, available at Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, and Fjällräven in Boulder. 

The Joules Croft Packaway Vest in soft poppy is the perfect transition piece for trendy Colorado kids. The lightweight padded vest packs down into a tiny bag making it easy to store in your child’s backpack (or your purse) for when an extra layer is needed. $45, available for ages one to 12.

Mom can get in on the color trend, too, with the Electra Morning Star 3i pink coral bike. The three-speed bike features a cool geometric pattern, leather tassels, and bell. Come spring and summer, this beauty will be the envy of the neighborhood. $670, available at Bicycle Village locations in Littleton, Aurora, and Boulder.
