Meet Chan, Pie and Gnon, the friendly teethers

Chan-Pie-Gnon

Remember Sophie, the teether giraffe? I wonder if these fungal characters will turn out to be like her: a whole lot cheaper on the continent than in the States (read the post I just linked to to see comments explaining how much less that toy costs in France).

As with Sophie, you might just find that you like them well enough that you just don't care. Who knew you could make a mushroom cute? A quick search for 'Chan, Pie and Gnon' - a working on the French for mushroom, champignon - will find you many retailers, but I saw them first at Ecobaby Gear, where each costs USD $14.00.

Sushi Platter

AAAAC_3s06EAAAAAAFZO5A.jpg

We have consistently featured sushi items for kids. This crocheted platter is a delight as it's perfect for the littlest ones. Each piece of nigiri and maki has a rattle inside and all are set atop a fabric bento box. A sweet alternative to ho-hum toys of the same kind and perfect for keeping babes interested while traveling or out and about on a stroller.

The ultimate cleaning toy

cleaning-trolley

I just had to laugh when I saw this - the most full-on house-cleaning toy I've ever seen.

We all know kids love to help around the house, and a toddler-sized broom or mop is a great way to get them started on the concept of cleaning at an early age. But this? Well, this is for the kids that really love cleaning. From carpet-beater to mop, it's all in there, and there's even a headscarf too. Hilarious.

Erzi ply gym

Erzi play gym

Play gyms: brash, plastic, obnoxious bleeping things, right?

Think again. I love the restful calm of this wooden play gym from Erzi, which allows for kids to play on each side and features pears, plums, and a tree. Simple, and gorgeous.

Website Ptolemy Toys will ship worldwide at cost of postage - and this is currently displaying at almost 40% off its full price - so if you like it, go for it!

Goose Grease Dolls - WAY Back to Basics Charm

il_430xN.72259386.jpg

I just love the sweet simplicity of Goose Grease's dolls. Pure wooden forms always enhanced with lovely hues and just a dash of creative detail make them irresistibly charming. Perfect for decor or creative play...you can also order "portrait" dolls of your whole family.

The Totem Tree

cardboard-tree-game

This cardboard tree with its pretty leaves and half-hidden avian surprises, along with apples and mushrooms, is beautiful enough to be a display item in its own right, I think. But it's a toy as well as an ornament: kids can peg each leaf onto the branches and thus make their own unique tree. What's more, it can be taken apart and rebuilt again and again.

Zen Blocks

These blocks are undoubtedly beautiful. The set of six (all natural, safe oil finish, sustainably-sourced wood) can be stacked, balanced, gazed upon or left alone (how zen). Here's to a new iteration of a classic game.

Emilia rag dolls by Floret

floret1.jpg

While browsing through, Weekend, my favorite Cape Cod shop, I chanced upon these folksy rag dolls by Floret. Designed by Brazilian costume designer Simone Kaplan, they're inspired by Emilia, a beloved childhood character created by writer and fellow countrymen Monteiro Labato. Handcrafted in Brazil using a lively patchwork of vibrant patterns, their rustic charm is further enhanced by braided fabric hair and embroidered details. Available in small or large, each Emilia is one-of-a-kind, making sure your child's new friend is all her own.

Also, available at What Every Baby Needs, Floret has a wonderful line of winsome animals and other dolls too, so do take a look. My favorite is this bear!

City Templates

l_76335.jpg

Because we live in a tropical climate, summer could mean loads of storms and rain. I always needs Plan B for those days when being indoors is inevitable. Art projects are an obvious and cherished activity and these templates from Muji could provide hours of fun. The set of four features iconic images from favorite cities: London, New York, Tokyo and Paris.
