These Sam & Bellie Chalkmats are a unique toy as they are portable, practical and stylish.
A perfect toy to bring along on errands that does not take up a lot of space. This can keep your little ones entertained at restaurants, in the car or stroller, at the beach, doctors office and even in the supermarket trolley....what a genius invention.
These are fun fabric choices to choose from, our favourite has to be the zoo or sashimi print. The
exterior is made of cotton and the interior is made from a chalk fabric
which can be wiped or washed off when you're ready to begin another
masterpiece.
There are so many reasons we love these hand-knitted vege rattles from Lark Designs.
Maybe because they are all hand-made from 100% cotton yarn, they only use child-safe dyes, are machine wash and dry-able and very inexpensive.
You can pick from a cauliflower, carrot, aubergine, tomato or a whole bunch!
If vegetables don't excite you, how about a doughnut rattle that come in two flavours, pink sugar and white sprinkles, and like their vegetarian friends, are machine wash and dry-able.
For Lark Designs, life began in 2005 in England and they are now based in Daylesford, Victoria. Allison Jones, owner of Lark Designs has a whimsical range of hand-made toys, accessories and childrenswear which is now sold in shops across the world.
At only $12 per rattle they are just perfect for special gifts and stocking fillers.
Wishing Tree is aimed at the modern, hip, environmentally conscious parents. The whimsical wooden toy puzzles are made from 100 percent natural, chemical-free basswood. Designed by Japanese sculptor Mitsuo Shimizu, these toys are made from a delicate wood-cutting process and a nice change from the many plastic toys out there today.
The toys were designed with young children
in mind, emphasizing on round edges and smooth finishes. There are nine different designs to choose from, my favourites being Mama Cow and Joey and Ocean Life.
An incentive to buy three or more is a free gfit, and its hard not to fall in love with three of their designs.
Prices are very reasonable at US$12 for the Cows or the Ocean life.
