Babble

It's a running joke around our house that if it makes a good pet toy, then it'll make a good baby too. The folks over at Little Alouette seem to have been inspired by the same kind of thinking, as their Maple Doggie Bone Style Teether isn't for dogs, it's for babes. And, of course, giving...

Nursery wall art is a hot property right now between removable stickers and vintage prints, but I like artist Lisa Golightly's different take on the genre. She paints her silhouettes of children and animal onto textured wallpaper that she then mounts onto wood panels. The result is a charming piece...

Why do babies love to put wooden blocks in their mouths? The wood must be soothing and the size of a small block must fit perfectly in their tiny mouths. I've been planning on purchasing some wooden blocks for my daughter and I'm glad I waited. Petit Flaneur, a Toronto based company, produces...

Full disclosure: I know the designer/screenprinter behind the new Etsy site fauxsure, and the above photo is of my son Devin wearing one of fauxsure's designs. Yes, Devin looks super cute in his monster onesie , and your kid can too for just $16.50. We've even taken to calling him Devin-monster...

I posted about angel wings on slings a few weeks back, but what happens when the sling-wearing era is over? Well, you move right into T-shirts with wings. Created by cloud9designstudio on Etsy, the T-shirts ($28) feature detailed angel wing drawings in the appropriate location and are available in sizes...

I don't look at Etsy enough, and whenever I hit up the website, I'm amazed by people's creativity (and passions). Lily's Rooster has a passion for our feathered friends. The L.A.-based mom uses natural fibers in her handmade toys whenever possible--cotton and wool yarn and bamboo stuffing...

I'm always on the look-out for summer camp t-shirts, and I found some new options over at the you-craft-it-we-sell-it web site Etsy. Etsy seller "nissalisa" makes t-shirts that are cute, fun and probably something you won't see on another kid at camp this summer. Most of the t-shirts...

Puzzimals are wooden puzzles of animals that are hand crafted and free-standing. Most designs have the name of the animal incorporated into them, but the best thing about them is the price. There are hundreds of designs in just about any animal you can think of, from a rhinoceros (pictured) to a giraffe...

I've started to wake up to birds chirping. That, and the two crocuses that have popped up in my tiny back yard, are getting me in the mood for spring. Since I'm having a spring baby, this handmade Quilt Baby onesie is a perfect way to show off a new baby. It's also prompting me to think about...

Since most of the woOberry dolls are made to resemble people, you can't really call them ugly dolls, per se. Perhaps quirky dolls with strange legs. The dolls get their inspiration from children's drawings--hence their misshapen bodies and disproportionate limbs. Each has a short story to tell...
