• Calico Critters Goes Plush

  I always thought the one downfall of our little buddies from Cloverleaf Corners was the lack of cuddle-ability. Not anymore. Read More...

• Look Who's All Grown Up

  I was all over the PediPed line when my kid was still learning to walk and needed the flexible sole for her growing feet. If your kid's aged out like mine, I've got good news. Read More...

  April Fool's Day has come and gone, and in it's wake we might just have the coolest kid's product I've ever seen. Too bad it's fake (for now at least). Details after the jump... Read More...

• Taking the Mud Off Piggy Toes - And Leaving the Toes

  My daughter is such a little girl this tomboy mama has to shake her shaved head sometime. But there's nothing like a good old-fashioned girls' night with the toenail polish and a chick flick (while Daddy's banished with his XBox - like he's REALLY complaining).   But I've never been comfortable taking polish off her sweet little toes with a bottle of something that smells like it could have been dropped out of a chopper in Apocalypse Now.  Read More...

• Boy-rettes - Hair Accessories For Long Haired Boys

  I'm not quite sure what to make of this one. As a father of girls, I fully appreciate the need to keep the hair out of my kid's eyes. So I can understand how you would want to keep it out of a boy's eyes too. The Boy-rettes from Kidcosmic.com will definitely get the job done, but a barrette for a boy? I think you will have to be  the judge. Details after the jump. Read More...

• The Snuggie For Kids: Only Better

  It's probably a little unfair to compare the Merino Kids sleep bags to that ridiculous blanket with sleeves thing they peddle on night-time TV. Oh well, too late.  But there is good news - Merino Kids Go Go Bags have all the cool advantages of the snuggie/slanket/whatever off brand - without the silly sleeves. Read More...

• Zen Shorts by Jon J. Muth

  I almost never write about books on Droolicious (which should probably change come to think of it), and with this book I am probably late to the party, but it is so great I had to evangelize it a bit more. Zen Shorts by Jon J. Muth is the story of a panda named Stillwater, and the three short tales he tells children. Read More...

• The Babble Review: Put Cheekeyes Under Your Tree

  My grandfather had a wood shop and every Christmas there were golf tee puzzles under the tree; and once a stunning doll house that would go for thousands at Neiman Marcus today. When I got a load of The Cheekeyes I cursed myself for unloading grandpa’s toys at garage sales and then promptly coveted all six animal sets for my daughter. Elizabeth talked about these wooden wonders before   Read More...

• Mozart Magic Cube: A Whole Orchestra in Your Hands

  I remember the revelation of sitting in music class and hearing the individual parts of an orchestra being broken down--flute, violin, French horn, etc. I'm impressed, then, that this toy teaches babies what I had to wait until kindergatden to learn (the horror).

  Photo from babyrazzi.com Suri Cruise may be the most glamorous girl in New York, but Violet Affleck has casual chic down pat – plus she has dimples that just don’t quit.

• Suri Cruise: Where’d Ya Get Those Silver Shoes

  Suri Cruise seems to have a thing for silver shoes, and who can blame her? Always the mini-fashionista, she seems to favor Mary Janes in shimmering metallic shades.  Thanks to the paparazzi who follow Suri and her lovely mommy everywhere, we know for a fact that she’s got pairs of decadent Bonpoint Mary Janes in both silver and gold. But her latest silver pair appear to be by a Danish shoemaker that is a little hard to find state-side. Read More...
