pablo & lola mini dolls

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

Not only do I love the choice of names for these peculiar looking dolls (Lola is my dog’s name), but the design and colors are awesome! Forget buying them for my kids, I want them in MY room! Pink Dress Lola is my fave. View and buy at Olie Bollen.

the bilibo

looks like fun to me:

“simple yet magical! adults are often puzzled by bilibo, but children get it immediately and find endless ways to play with bilibos - they sit in them, rock back and forth, spin around, lie under them, stand on them, use them as tunnels for cars, beds for dolls, pour water through them, use them as sleds, hats and props.” (rompbklyn.com)

friends or foes?

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

When I came across this little toy at Organic Valley, I thought maybe this could help with my son’s fear of any food besides vegetarian chicken nuggets and peanutbutter sandwiches. Just maybe I could get him to eat a vegetable by becoming “friends” with these cute stuffed ones first. Then I had another thought. What if I buy this, he falls in love with the stuffed tomato, mushroom, carrot, and bean as planned, and then he’s even more terrified to eat their miniature “family” or something of that nature? Oh well, they’re cute anyway.
