ABC Kids Expo 2008: Book Buggee From P'Kolino

In addition to the Toddler Bed, the other thing I saw from P'Kolino was this cute "Book Buggee." It's a wheeled toy that young toddlers can put stuff in, especially books, and then tow around.

The representative from P'Kolino said the idea was to create something to get children to interact with books at an early age. I'm not sure my kids ever used a toy that they pulled around, but that's not to say many kids do.

The Book Buggy comes in orange only and is brand new at a retail price of $44.99. Available at PKolino.com.

ABC Kids Expo 2008: P'Kolino Todder Bed Converts Into A Chair

P'Kolino makes children's furniture that we've spoken about before on Droolicious, but they had a few new things that are definitely worth mentioning. My favorite was the P'Kolino Toddler Bed - a bed that converts from a toddler bed to a chair once your toddler grows up.

There are a ton of Toddler beds out there that convert to a toddler bed from a crib, but I haven't seen any that convert from a toddler bed to something else. And did I mention the price? The P'Kolino Toddler bed costs $189, and that comes with the padding you'll need to make it a chair.

Available in white or orange (both pictured) available at P'Kolino.com.

Picnic Table Craft Table From P'Kolino

We've written before about the kids funiture from P'Kolino, and now they've got a new activity table for kids that matches the rest of their collection. It looks fun and modern, but is a picnic-bench type of table best for you?

I can imagine this type of table being perfect for some playrooms. In apartments or other places where space is at a premium, this might be the perfect solution. But in my house, one of the best aspects of the activity table is my kids can take the chairs and move them around. Not to mention the fact that I've sat down at the table once or twice myself. Plus, with the bench attached to the table, it would have been hard for my youngest to get to the table with her sister when she was learning to walk.

But either way, if you're shopping for a play table for your kids this one is worth checking out.

P'Kolino Kubes at Sparkability

According to the New York Times, boys have a harder time organizing than girls ... or, is it just that parents naturally push girls to be more organized? Either way, it's good to start both sexes off organizing at a young age, and the P'Kolino Kubes at Sparkability offer a design-conscious way to jump-start the process. Available with colored panels of either blue, natural, orange or chalkboard for $105 each, or in groups of four for $465. Sure it's $100 for a box, but can you really put a price on organization? Do note that there's a six to eight week delivery window, which will give you plenty of time to really appreciate them when they finally arrive.
