  • Babble Review: Zah Organic Clothing

    I've not made the commitment to dressing Devin completely in organic clothing (that would require a level of income and fastidiousness that I just don't have), so I was excited to test out Zah Organic clothing by Go Natural Baby. The line is made from 100 percent certified organic cotton, uses...

  • Photos from Nicole Kidman's Nursery

    Want to see where little Sunday Rose sleeps when she's not snuggling with mom Nicole Kidman or dad Keith Urban? Reportedly, Sunday's nursery holds a Solare crib from Q Collection Jr, given to her by Nicole's pal Eli Halliwell, CEO of Jurlique (which makes organic skin care products). This...

    Ever have someone tell you that you should stop buying your kids toys and just get them boxes? Maybe you made that joke yourself after cleaning up after a birthday party to find the shiny new toys untouched and the kids playing around in the cardboard packaging. The Color Your Own Cardboard Cottage Doll...

  • New From Svan: "Green" Convertible Highchair

    We've noted Svan's intelligent highchair design before ( see moderndaydad's post ), but we'll run through the basics: a slick look that moves from 6-month-old babies to 50-pound 5-year-olds, the option of tray or table dining and adjustable seat depth, tray and footrest height. But Anka...

  • Sculpture or Toy, or a Little Bit of Both

    I'm rather taken by Naef's Rainbow stacker. If it hadn't been listed on a kids' website, I might never have guessed that it's meant for children. But in fact, the toy has won two design awards in Germany. The parts can be stacked in a variety of ways (limited only by imagination)...

  • Battle of the Playroom Easels: Ikea vs. Ecotots

    After my once-per-year trip to Ikea a few weeks ago, I've been considering getting a drawing easel for our playroom. I'm still not convinced that either of my two kids would actually stand for more than a minute or two at an easel and draw, but there has to be something to them, right? An easel...

  • Plan Toys Banjo for a Lil Steve Martin-in-Training

    Plan Toys makes some sweet toys, like this Banjo . Like the rest of the line, the banjo is made of rubber wood from trees that have stopped producing latex and kiln-dried to insure little pests don’t make it from the forest to your home. Kids can strum and “tune” the strings, or drum on the hollow but...

  • Hand Made: Wooden Fire Engine

    I had a chance to visit a new flea market in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill and I ran across a booth by the company Greenjeans. The shop and gallery showcases a variety of items, from functional art to sculptural objects. What caught my eye--and the eye of about four kids gleefully playing with the displays...
