• 7 Days of Outdoor Fun: My First Real Fly Rod

  I realize this one's fairly specialized, but I think it still qualifies for 7 Days of Outdoor Fun. My First Real Fly Rod is exactly that, a fully functional rod for "the next generation of fly fishers." Details after the break. Read More...

• New Teething Rings without BPA Look Like the Old Kind

  My daughter's favorite teethers are the plastic, water filled ones that you put in the refrigerator. Even now that she's not teething, she still likes to play with them and chew on them. I've even started as using them as a distraction toy when I'm feeding her because they are so easy to clean and they are such great distractions. But up until now I haven't found BPA free ones that look like this. Read More...

  Last summer my baby lived in dresses and rompers, and I've recently found some cute baby clothes (including rompers) worth checking out from children's clothes designer Kit + Lili.

• The Babble Review: George Nelson Zoo Timer Clocks

  I mentioned in my post yesterday that some of my favorite things I've put in my girls' rooms have been things that I can imagine them taking to college with them someday. These wall clocks designed by the great George Nelson are one of those things. Read More...

• Droolworthy: bObles Romping Animals

  If money were no object, I'd fill a room with these bObles romping animals and celebrate the "furniture as playthings" concept wholeheartedly. Right now you can pre-order from the myriad of choices at Urban Kids Play for shipping in late October; six animals and various colors from which to choose, $32 to $129 depending on your selection. And then? Sit, stand, rock, build -- whatever your kids can dish out, these animals can take.

• Gone Fishing

  This soft toy boat ($15) from Latitude Enfant comes with four bright orange fish and (best part) the boat makes foghorn sounds. Someone better tell those fish to get out of the boat, though. They'd be safer in treacherous waters. Hey, I've seen Nemo. Posted Jul 27 2007, 11:03 AM by Kelly Mills with | with no comments Filed under: soft toys, fish, boats
