It’s that time of year again! And the most wonderful time, if that! I don’t know about you, but I really enjoy holiday shopping and snagging a few different things I know my little guy will love. With that being said I always try to shop as eco-friendly as possible. So many toys on the market are made with harsh chemicals and non-recyclable goods. Knowing that I can fill my little guy’s stocking with environmentally-friendly options always makes me feel better, an one toy brand that I’ve grown to absolutely love is Green Toys. Here’s why I adore this wonderful brand —

The holidays are here, and most kids will put a new toy or two on their holiday wishlist. I started to think about the toys I’d get my little guy this year, and it made me wish I could take a trip back in time just to soak up a few of the fun things I did as a kid. I’m always looking for toys that brought me joy when I was younger and I want to share the same experiences with children. I’ve been able to find a few of my favorite toys, but some of them are non-existent these days.
One little duck went out one day. Over the hills and far away.. into your home! The Plan Toys Push-Along Duck will allow your little one to have a blast! This adorable little ducky allows children to improve balance and directional skills during play. Push toys like the Plan Toys Push-Along Duck are also a great way for babies and toddlers to learn to walk because they serve as aids. With the friendly and familiar look of the duck, a “quack” sound is created from its feet when it moves. This toy is made of natural, chemical free recycled rubberwood and
We recently added fun new products from Tegu to our Cotton Babies shelves. If you aren’t familiar with Tegu toys, they are ideal for young builders.

Toddlers are amazing. They are able to quietly sit in one spot while playing with their toys in such a sweet, adorable way that makes you want to fill an entire Instagram account with pictures in less than 10 minutes. Then, the dryer buzzes or you have to check on dinner. And in the 15 seconds you aren’t watching, your sweet innocent toddler just destroyed an entire room. Let’s not even talk about what it’s like to have twins or more than one preschool age child in your home — at the same time. Depending on their age, it can
It doesn’t take too long for most parents to discover that their child’s favorite toy is often not a toy at all. Once babies begin exploring their world, they often explore by putting things in their mouth, which means they also need to be safe. We have some great new products at Cotton Babies to solve both of those problems! First up, for the baby who just loves the shine and clink of metal, we have Kleynimals stainless steel toy keys. These “keys” come three to a key ring, just like your real keys. However, they have smooth edges so

Shazam! Rise from the dead! Can it be? Is it true? Are blueberries blue? Yes! Can you believe it? A new Warehouse Roulette post! It’s Halloween (well, was, it’s tomorrow today), so, just like leftover fish in the fridge, it’s a grand day to resurrect Warehouse Roulette from the dead. In case you forgot or have no idea what Warehouse Roulette is, it’s my way of having something to write about. I’ve been bugged by Jenn and others to write posts on the blog for a long time, but I
