NEW YORK, Nov. 11 (UPI) -- Some networking-minded New York parents are keeping socially connected by handing out business cards -- for their kids.

   The cards -- which typically feature a child's name, contact information and a clever message like "My crib or yours?" -- are spreading like chicken pox, The New York Post reported Sunday.

   The brightly-colored cards can be purchased online or in shops catering to the under-5 demographic, the newspaper said. At one New York shop, Baby iDesign, the owner said demand for the cards, which sell at $60 per box, has tripled in the last year.

   Cuteness aside, parents who use the cards say they also have a practical side, the newspaper said. They are a good way to meet and keep track of other new moms, and more practical than the crayon and paper method.
