You can't go wrong when you stick to the tried and true and this interpretation of a classic is fantastic. This toy is made by Plan Toys which is a company that has a strong mission statement to do right by the environment and apply a modern aesthetic to timeless toys. I'm a fan of theirs and I especially like this toy because it is so affordable, attractive and full of learning possibilities such as colors, hand-eye coordination and cause and effect. - Stephanie

Haba has been making timeless high quality wooden toys for years and now they are taking on soft toys in earnest. I love this stacking ball. It has great colors, great textures and a great price. This would make an excellent gift. - Stephanie S.

Munchlers Lunchbox

Meadow%20Munchler.jpg

$11.00 (free shipping)

That's right. It's a green bunny lunchbox that unzips flat to serve as a placemat with ears that double as handles. Lead-free, food safe and insulated. And this "Meadow Munchler" has three more friends one of whom is an adorable disappointed-looking panda. - Stephanie S.

"Each measures about 5.5" tall, 8" wide, and 5" deep when zipped up."

Now that my daughter is talking up a storm it seems that everything she says is so funny and, of course incredibly smart. I want to be able to remember every word.

The Wall: Growing Up Behind The Iron Curtain by Peter Sis

the%20wall.jpg

$12.24

I first fell in love with Peter Sis while reading a biography of Jackie Onassis. Peter Sis was the first author she chose to edit when she began her work in publishing. Sis has a brand new book entitled The Wall about his childhood in Cold War-era Prague. The book is graphic, intriguing, historic, and exciting. - Stephanie R

Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld

$14.97

I'm so excited about this easy to use, easy to follow recipe book for picky eaters from Jerry's better half Jessica Seinfeld. I'm thrilled that someone came up with a way to sneak in vegetables in foods that kids will actually eat. I went to the store this morning to buy it so I could begin cooking right away and the manager said it sold out in 15 minutes all over town. But no worries, you can order from Amazon and get it next week. - Stephanie R

English to Spanish Dominoes

$13.00

I think this is such a cool game. The illustrations are fantastic and the game itself is designed for a 2 year old. Once you click the link, scroll dow to find this particular game. Progressive Kid is a neat site and has a lot of fun toys and eco-friendly ideas to browse through. - Stephanie S.

"This smartly illustrated learning game is a fun way for young children to learn simple Spanish (or English). Players match the cheese with the queso, the mariposa with the butterfly and practice pronouncing with each turn. Includes instructions and a pronunciation guide. For ages 2 and up."

Bebe Belay

$8.00

I love any product that is multi-purpose. The ways to use this little handy device seem to be endless. The Bebe Belay was designed by a mother of two who was always dropping pacifiers and forgetting bibs. This tiny product tackles both hassles as well as anything else you can think to clip to the Bebe Belay. Hmm...I wonder if it could keep me from losing my keys!? - Stephanie R

Adiri Natural Nurser

$12.50

The new Adiri bottle mimics the female breast, without actually looking like one. As if breastfeeding in public doesn't cause enough stares, someone had to invent "boob in a bag". But the Adiri is new, simple, has only two parts, the bottle is polycarbonate-free, and the soft top reduces colic. I never knew bottle feeding could be so simple. - Stephanie R

Mr. Nosey by Roger Hargreaves

41K8DH7PRML._SS500_.jpg

$3.99

Do you remember the Mr. Men and Little Miss Series? Each simply drawn character represents an attribute or a behavior and teaches us a lesson about how to treat others. In this book, Mr. Nosey teaches us the importance of minding our own beeswax. I recall these being the most fought over books in kindergarten. Someone probably should have handed me Mr. Greedy. - Stephanie S.

This little package comes with 4 activity books, 2 pages of stickers and a pencil with eraser and a pencil topper. And at nine bucks brother and sister can have one of their own. Is it possible to have a car trip with no backseat hair pulling? Here's hoping. - Stephanie R

Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Radiohead

$16.99

I attended a baby shower over the weekend where this was given as a gift. Awesome. But I have to admit I also thought, what's wrong with plain ol' Radiohead? Why would it need to be reinterpreted for babies to also enjoy? Then I heard it and my heart skipped a beat. The glockenspiel making the tinkling noises synonymous with nursery music colliding with the rock music of my adolescence is almost too much to bear. A baby couldn't appreciate this. That CD left under my shirt. - Stephanie S.

California Baby Bubble Bath Tote with Rubber Ducky

$19.99

I'm so impressed with this line of products I've been telling all my friends about it. My daughter's sensitive skin and eczema finally gets some relief with the Super Sensitive line from California Baby. The fact that its made with organic products is an added bonus that makes me feel so great about putting it on my baby. I've even started using some of the products myself. I wanted to post this Bubble Bath kit first because it makes such a great shower gift. Once the new mommy tries these few products available in Bath Kit she'll be hooked too. - Stephanie R

Alden Family Paper Dolls

I am fascinated by these reproduction paper dolls. They are so meticulously illustrated they could be framed, but for $6.00 you can have a ton of fun helping the kiddies cut 'em out and dress 'em up. Then sit back and take in the stories that these characters and all of their wardrobe changes inspire. - Stephanie S.

The Dangerous Book for Boys (Hardcover)

517x%2B3qBRWL._SS500_.jpg

$14.97

This book was fantastically popular in the UK when published in 2006 and they've adapted it for a US audience. I think it would be a charming book for a new dad - whether he has a son or daughter. - Stephanie S.

"The Dangerous Book is a guide book for dads as well as their sons, as a reminder of lore and technique that have not yet been completely lost to the digital age. Recall the adventures of Scott of the Antarctic and the Battle of the Somme, relearn how to palm a coin, tan a skin, and, most charmingly, wrap a package in brown paper and string. The book's ambitions are both modest and winningly optimistic: you get the sense that by learning how to place a splint or write in invisible ink, a boy might be prepared for anything, even girls (which warrant a small but wise chapter of their own)."

Cell Phone and Keys from Parents

$14.99

This is the best thing I've ever put in my diaper bag. I never leave home without the phone or a set of keys. After my last cell phone filled up with apple juice and goldfish crumbles, it was time to search for a phone just for Lily. This was a great find and she was thrilled. The buttons actually make a real sound when you push them in and there is a button on the side that will record your voice. The keys are real metal and the buttons make the "beep beep" sound just like a car setting the alarm. It also has a tiny light that is a lot of fun for babies. This is just the right easy no-brainer first birthday gift for any child on your list. They're sure to love it. Stephanie R

Earth Day has come and gone, but we can still teach our toddlers about the planet with the help of the Earthball. Anyone who has been around a kid knows how much they love balls. The Earthball is a ball that is also educational. It comes with a handbook and an area map. I think this would be a lot of fun for little kids and also a great learning tool. - Stephanie R

My daughter and I have been listening to French and Spanish learning CDs in the car and I've easily stumbled on to some really great ones. I haven't been so lucky with the DVDs. I've rented a countless number of awful DVDs from my local library. They all have big promises, and most are really popular and well known, but still painful to watch and my daughter lost interest very quickly. Then I finally found the A la Vibora de la Mar series. They are fantastic! You won't be disappointed. You can also buy this one together with Los Colores de Rufino for $19.98 - Stephanie R

Sylvester and the Magic Pebble

This was one of my favorites growing up and while I'm sure that some of my attachment is nostalgia related, I confidently recommend this book to others. It did win a Cadecott Medal, after all. The pacing of the story is such that a young person is drawn right in. Sylvester and the Magic Pebble is what children's books should be: silly and sweet on the outside; poignant and memorable on the inside. - Stephanie S.
