You already know I'm a huge fan of the Taggies brand, which tends towards extremely colorful creations; but this similarly-themed turtle toy from designer Rose Breyla has won me over despite its monochromatic simplicity. For one thing, it really does look like a (flat) turtle. For another, it combines wonderful-feeling fabrics with clever placement of those loops that babies love. And it's machine washable! It just looks like a perfect best buddy for baby who will grow up to love reptiles. Get yours at Breyla online for $14.95.
