Got a little Superman running around the house? He can become SuperPaul, SuperEric or SuperPeter with a little help from Ellie Bellie Kids who makes fine capes with the kid’s own letter sewn onto it.

The capes are made out of 100% cotton and are available in a black/aqua or orange dotted/orange.

Besides the personalized capes Ellie Bellie Kids offers cute two-colored reversible tutus for little princesses. The tutus are available in four fresh color combinations.

Most kids nowadays have that great “too-many-toys” problem. The problem is often storage, where to put all the toys?? Boon has made an excellent product that takes care of this problem and adds a piece of furniture in the process.

The Boon animal bag is simply a beanbag without the beans. You stuff the bag with all the soft toys lying around taking up space, and whoops, you’ve got more space and have even made yourself a comfy bean-, or shall I say soft toy-bag, at the same time.

The Boon Animal Bag comes in three different versions, Oval, Otto and Trio. Oval is basically a bright green ball. Otto is the shape of a small ball and a bigger ball merged together and has a bright turquoise color.

The trio is the shape of three balls merged together and has a bright orange color. All versions have round “windows” that allow the kids to keep an eye on where the soft toys are so they can easily get a hold on the right one, without having to look through the whole bag. Because the Boon Animal Bag comes without the beans it is very light and therefore inexpensive when it comes to shipping.

The Boon Animal Bags is available at babygeared.

There are just too few options for those who want to choose the kind of clothes, shoes and accessories that encourages kids to be kids and doesn’t send the message that they should already be small adults. There is of course a lot of products with various Disney characters, but other than that, there are unbelievably few options.

A good example is a little baby’s feet, the first shoes should be great and memorable, but what is so special about tiny replicas of adult Adidas shoes for example, besides the price that is? If you really want something special that is memorable, comfy, cute and most importantly something out of a kid’s fantasy, Sassy Shoes would be a great place to start looking. They offer comfortable baby shoes with a soft sole and hand painted non-toxic decorations all over the shoe, even the sole has a small decoration. The decorations are brightly colored with motifs that appeal to kids. Some of their cute themes are Puppy Love (picture), Little Racer (with a bright red race car), Peaches and Cream (green and pink flower theme) and Smooth Sailing (boy or girl sailor theme).

Each pair of shoes comes packed in a mini paint pail.

The Dart Coat Hooks are probably made with adults in mind, but I cannot think of a set of coat hooks more appropriate for a boys room.

With these placed by a little boy’s bedroom door chances are at least some of the clothes will be put in the right place!

The darts come as a set of three and has a very clean and stylish look that will suit most boys’ bedrooms very well. The dart hooks are made of stainless steel and have screws for tips so that they can be securely mounted on the wall. They come with rawl plugs for use on plaster walls.

Available at Elsewares.

The toys have an old yet fresh and modern look, and is a great decorating and toy alternative for parents who would like to use baby colors, but aren’t keen on the usual baby blue and pink.

Besides being beautiful and fun the Pastel Toys products has a special background as well. All the toys are made by special need adults in the Kishorit kibbutz in Israel.

The toys are cut out of wood, sanded and painted by hand by the residents. All the items receive individual attention and there is a great focus on quality. The kibbutz is made by the non-profit organization Kishorit and is a community where adults with mental problems are able to live by themselves, have a job and help each other. A job at the Pastel Toys carpentry is only one of the jobs Kishorit can offer their residents.
Pastel Toys is available at e-giggle.

The Moroccan inspired Children’s Table & Cushion Set uses cushions instead of chairs, which is a great for children. A traditional chair restricts a childs movements a lot and the cushions along with the height of the table allows children to move freely when drawing, painting and playing. Another great thing about it is that it is round. A round table of course removes the risks involved when mixing active kids and sharp corners, but it also allows children to sit together without being divided by corners and interact very well with each other.

The children’s table is made out of hand painted plywood and Moroccan orange tree and the cotton flannel cushion covers are removable and machine washable. The table set is a good example of nice, simple and functional design for children.

The elephant table is available at Giggle where you can also find lots of cute puppets, a Sport Racer Pedal Plane, a life size Cat in the Hat, and a Hip Kitty Dish Set amongst other fun and useful things for kids of all ages.

Imagine being out for a stroll in a new place, wanting to have a look at the surroundings, and your head is about 30 inches of the ground. Trousers, trousers, skirts and trousers…. The world is made for adults, and when we put our babies in strollers that only elevate them a few inches of the ground, we are bound to have a lot of grumpy moments.

There are more and more strollers bringing babies up to our level and one of the first, very successful and award winning of the kind is the Stokke Xplory. I had the pleasure of being introduced to one at a fair in Munich, and was amazed by the fact that every little detail and function was so well thought out. It is simply a stroller made to make the stroll a pleasant event for both the baby and its parents.

Stokke Xplory brings the baby up to a level where you can have eye-to-eye connection with the baby and experience the world together with it. The stroller has an active position, a resting position and a sleeping position, and as the kid grows you can adjust the height and turn the seat around. This makes the Xplory practical, as you will only need to have one stroller. The Xplory is also very light, uses very little space when folded and if you need to get up stairs you can easily put it in a position where only two of the wheels touches the ground, and it will allow you to easily pull it up the stairs.

Have a closer look at the stroller and find a retailer near you at Xplory.
