• First Week Home: 5 Things That Didn't Work Out

  Safety 1st "Safe Saver" Bathtub, $12.99 - I'm a sucker for any product that says it saves space, but this sink bathtub, while tiny and collapsible, didn't fit in my fairly standard kitchen sink. In fact, it was a hand-me-down from another set of parents, who didn't want it because it didn't fit in their sink. Even when we used it in the bathtub, it felt flimsy and a little unsafe. Luckily, for only $4 more, you can buy the Safety 1st Comfy Bath Center -- which has served us quite well. Read More...

• 7 Days of Eco-Friendly Decor - The Bamboo IoLine Crib

  If Frank Llyod Wright had designed a baby crib, it mighta looked a little something like this. The IoLine crib by Kalon Studios is available in “soothing clay”, “warm taupe”, or “in the rich, amber hue of oiled bamboo” but really it comes in a very eco-friendly shade of green. Read More...

• Five Plastics-Free, Panda-Friendly Accessories for the Wooden Play Kitchen

  I was playing with a super-duper environmentally friendly wooden play kitchen the other day (okay, my kid was there too), and the accessories were extremely... wooden. I decided to look for some stylish accessories to jazz up my friend's organic playspace. After the jump, check out my list of five bamboo must-haves for the wooden play kitchen. Read More...

• No Pandas Were Harmed in the Making of This Bamboo Spork

  Considering that bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on earth, it'd be great to see this kids' spork from Bambu rise up to overtake the petroleum-based contraptions we're used to getting from takeout joints. Handmade from 100% organically grown moso (among the bamboo species not munched on by pandas), Bambu's spork is free of bleaches or dyes and is generally one of the safer contraptions your toddler can stick in his or her mouth, relatively speaking.

• First Look: Joy Spread the Word

  Begun in 2005 by Myriam Joseph and Steve Myers, Joy Spread the Word is finally opening its internet doors today. Their mission is simple -- to spread joy. That shouldn't be difficult with their four different shirt designs; choose from joy, courage, compassion or humility. Each is made of a bamboo/cotton/lycra blend, which yields superior breathability (and washability!) due to the high percentage of versatile and eco-friendly bamboo fiber. Best of all? This luxurious, durable blend is both machine washable and dryable. Currently jerseys are offered in sizes 2 to 4. Your little joy ambassador can start spreading the word for $48 apiece. More pictures after the jump.  Read More...

• Hang Ten with Wooden Surfboard Step Stool

  This is the kind of thing that makes me a) want to be completely impractical; b) wish for a larger house with a second bathroom; c) desire unlimited funds for decorating and; d) all of the above. I know, I know, it's just going to get covered in potty training accidents and bathroom gunk, but still, it's cool. Especially since it also comes in hot pink. The surfboard step stool is available from Modern Tots for $99.

• Treat Baby to Organic Bamboo

  Did you know that bamboo can be woven into an ultra-soft fabric which is more ecologically sustainable than cotton (because it grows so much more quickly)? You might have known that. But did you know that bamboo could be made into something so stinkin' fun as these Timboo washcloths? Just the colors and shapes put conventional washcloths to shame. Then when you add in the earth-friendly factor, you've got a product that's cool and (dare I say it?) downright responsible.
